News::Gone Home review | Thunderbolt

Matthew Sawrey, Thunderbolt writes: Open a closet door in the Greenbriar household and amongst the stacks of storage boxes and shelves of dusty books, youre likely to find a nugget of character development. A hotel matchbook, perhaps, with a suggestive invitation scribbled on the inside fold. Or maybe a mix tape of 90s grunge, covered in the teenage doodles of high school boredom. Few of these individual items are interesting in and of themselves, but each object purposefully detailed and deliberately placed by independent developers The Fullbright Company adds another brush stroke to the Greenbriar family portrait. And the picture they eventually paint in Gone Homes short, movie-like length is more intimate and relatable than the most realistic of character models or the deepest of dialogue trees.
