Gone Home moves to Nintendo Switch next week

Gone Home is the latest indie game port due for release on Nintendo Switch, publisher Annapurna Interactive has announced.

The narrative adventure is out soon, too – next Thursday, 23rd August.

First released back in 2013 on PC and later for consoles, Gone Home is a engrossing tale with a spooky house setting. As a 21-year-old freshly returned from a year abroad, you arrive back to find an empty family home. Over the game’s handful of hours, you’ll slowly discover what’s been going on.

Gone Home emphasises exploration rather than puzzle-solving, and does so while doling out intriguing narrative chunks on a stormy night while the rain beats down outside. It oozes atmosphere and intrigue, and it put developer The Fullbright Company on the map, prior to the studio’s follow-up, Tacoma.
