    Another beautiful first person exploration (FPX) game. Although NOWHERE near as well thought out as gone home, which may be the best this genre has to offer, it is an admittedly short piece that beautiful describes notions that many of us experienced as children.

Although NOWHERE near as well thought out as gone home, which may be the best this genre has to offer, it is an admittedly short piece that beautiful describes notions that many of us experienced as children. The author here clearly has some history with the subject matter and beautifully expresses a few seemingly disjointed thoughts into a beautiful whole. I found myself smiling throughout. The music is gentle and thought provoking without being intrusive. And for a very short game, the graphics are truly beautiful. Make sure to stop and enjoy the sky :)… Expand

    This was a very beautiful atmospheric experience. It had a really calm but equally chilling feel to the game and I really enjoyed it. The story plays out through the objects that you can pick up and examine. The game leaves it up to you to put all of the parts of the story together and it can really give you some thoughts to ponder after playing.

The story plays out through the objects that you can pick up and examine. The game leaves it up to you to put all of the parts of the story together and it can really give you some thoughts to ponder after playing. One of the best parts IMO is that there are other parts of the story you can find if you look around hard enough. There are even multiple secret endings to the game. DISCLAIMER- You get out of the game what you put in. If you go in expecting an intense and exciting story and not a beautiful and artistic experience, then it wont be for you. I enjoyed this game very much and I thought it was very beautiful while still having a chilling feel to it. When you play it, just do one thing for me, make sure you take a second to look out and enjoy the view.… Expand

    Home is Where One Starts... is a beautiful story about lost childhood, rural America's broken home and the importance of memory. But is also another good example of what ambient narrative can do.

    An early experiment in a genre that has already seen some very sophisticated entries.
