It was boring as fuck but I have yo admit the main spoiler hit me way to late and I'll give the game that. I was not expecting it and I turned to my niece after like an hout of play and searching the path to the attic on YT and went "oooooh, she's a lesbian. "Well, that makes sense now".
Game was still boring AF even for a walking sim and I often like walking sims like Firewatch, Edith finch and the like when they have compelling gameplay aspects ontop the narrative. Gone home is just a house and a story with one small overall puzzle. Completely overrated.

Hahaha, I remember picking on the developing lesbian relationship thing after the diary entry you recall in the upstairs bathroom, which I first found about one-third of the way through my original playthrough. That one made it pretty obvious to me.

Anyway, yeah What Remains of Edith Finch is pretty exceptional (spoiler: look for it in my top 5 on this year's top 50 list) and Firewatch was pretty good too, I thought. But Edith Finch is also pretty linear and sometimes I like to have a little more freedom.

In the end, I guess some of what's relaxing to me might be boring to others. I struggle with anxiety though and sometimes a kind of open-ended game that doesn't put any real stress on me is just what I need.
