The walkthrough
We won’t show every single little thing that you can collect and view… Because the way Gone Home can be played is dependent on your personal preferences. You might love taking items and looking at them, reading notes, but here we’ll try to highlight only the necessary steps on what to explore and must-do things in order to complete the game.
Enter premises, open the cabinet at the left side and collect the key to enter the mansion. Start off by going to the second floor straight from the foyer. On the second floor, turn right and keep on this way until you locate a neat little room that is called the attic. On the right side of the attic there’s a room, connected with a different room. Go in to the last mentioned room, which should be called the Sewing room. The Sewing room is important because it is the only place where you can find a map lying on a table.
After finding the map, stuff becomes a lot easier. Now look at the map and find a secret passageway that has become visible. Go to the parent’s bedroom and inside the closet, there’s the secret passageway of Gone Home. Go to it and find another map, this will give more locations on hidden features of the house. The locker in Sam’s room needs codes from two of these passageways. Inside the first hidden compartment on the first floor, west hall. Go back to the attic and the other piece of code is in the next hidden compartment. Now you have the combination to Sam’s locker.
In Sam’s room, open his locker and grab the key which can unlock the basement. The door for the basement can be found in the western hallway. Now you have to get to the greenhouse. Greenhouse stage is where you start to feel that the game is getting closer to the end. To get to it, you need to walk in the hallway until you reach a point on which you need to turn back. Turn left instead and open that door. Go straight on until you reach the Greenhouse. There’s a note there that reveals yet another secret pass from the foyer. In this secret compartment, you’ll find a key to the attic, open the attic door – find the letters and end the game.
Conclusions
See? It’s not so hard as it seems, yet playing for the first time can surely be complicated, mysterious and confusing. Don’t get discouraged, though, as a speedrun challenge with your mates will surely up your skills in Gone Home. The most important thing we’d like to point out is that there’s only a few keys and hidden passages to seek out, so the game is very short.
