Since the initial Early Access release, the first entry in the Fullbright Presents series of short, strange games now features a new intro and ending sequence, new notes to find and Achievements to achieve, plenty of bugfixes and performance improvements, new spooky scare moments, more usability and controller features, and...

It’s in Early Access for just $5.99— with a launch discount of 17% off, and an additional discount if you complete the Fullbright Collection bundle! In the Summer issue of the Fullbright Newsletter (which you should sign up for if you haven’t!), I introduced the concept of Fullbright Presents: an ongoing series of small, strange, lo-fi games I'm producing as a solo developer, to be released into Steam Early Access as they roll off the production line. And now, just a few short months later, here it is! This isn't a super-rough alpha Early Access launch either, the game is actually a pretty pol

Gone Home and Tacoma co-creator Steve Gaynor announces that he is now operating the indie game developer Fullbright solo and working on a new game. Open Roads, which was previously under production at Fullbright, is now being worked on by a separate, dedicated team, under the publisher Annapurna, as Gaynor, who co-created Gone Home in 2013, says that his "strengths do not lie with attempting to manage a large project or direct the work of others."

Steve Gaynor, co-founder of Fullbright, is no longer creative lead or manager on its current project, Open Roads, though he remains involved as a writer. A report published by Polygon claims that Gaynor was a "controlling" and "demeaning presence" who saw himself as embodying the studio, and who ultimately drove away multiple employees—especially women...

Gone Home makes Edge Magazine's list of "The 12 Games that Defined the 2010s!" https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32980586/c4a5b20291dd7259fd592998de8c8bdedef149e8.jpg 2019 is coming to a close, and with it the end of a decade. Edge Magazine is closing out the year with a very special edition: their "12 Games that Defined the Decade," each given its own unique variant cover of the print edition-- and Gone Home made the list! We're incredibly honored to share space with unforgettable games like Spelunky, The Walking Dead, Dark Souls, Breath of the Wild, and more.

Hey all! We're rolling out a patch to Gone Home that should have no noticeable impact on most users-- aside from a large patch download size! The new version of the Mac OS has security requirements that require an update to a newer version of the Unity engine, which is what this patch is all about. We're updating the game to a more current version of Unity on all OSes, which unless we missed something, should just mean the game is exactly the same, but maybe running a little smoother... and doesn't throw a security warning on Mac. Oh, we also took the opportunity to improve support for Dualsho

Narrative-driven exploration game Gone Home, which is still one of the best indie games on PC, is free on the Humble Bundle right now. Gone Home is one of the 60+ titles in the Humble Monthly Trove, a bank of games that are available to all Humble Monthly subscribers. Occasionally, one of these games gets given away free for a limited time, and Gone Home's number has been called—you can download it here until May 5. You'll need to login to your Humble Bundle account first, but after that you'll get a DRM-free copy of the game, meaning you'll be able to launch it dire

It's easy to underestimate the humble door. You open it, you go through. Sometimes, you must find the key first, and for many games, that's the whole extent of the player's interactions with doors. They're something to get past, something that cordons off one bit from the next bit. A simple structural element, of special interest to level designers, but not the ones who turn the knobs. And yet, the fundamental nature of doors that makes them seem so mundane also imbues them with a kind of magic. How do I open it? And what could be behind it? A good door is a locus of challenge and mystery; mys
