It tells a simple but personal story through notes and audio logs, avoiding gaming cliches to reveal a family in turmoil. It’s all about discovery and exploring the old house. If you can’t find every commentary node with the special modifier activated and included with every Gone Home: Console Edition, we’ve got all the hints you’ll need to find them all.
