Some may think that £15.99 for one of those ‘exploration’ titles is a tad on the pricey side but, thanks to the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for October 2017, if you’re an Xbox One owner, you can now discover the secrets of the house on Arbor Hill for nothing!
Gone Home doesn’t have an enemy in sight, leaving you to return to a very unusual silence after a year abroad. Where is your family? What has happened here? There are so many questions, and the only way to have a chance of finding the answers is to put your thinking cap on and hunt for clues. Thankfully, all this detective work is presented through some realistic and dark visuals.
Not only will the Console Edition of Gone Home have the few hours of story-driven content that has been met with heaps of critical acclaim, but around 90 minutes of behind the scenes commentary has been included, letting you listen in on those who made the game a reality.
Provided you have an Xbox Gold Membership and are one of the Xbox One family, Gone Home: Console Edition is now yours for free, and will continue to be for the entirety of October.
