Although Tacoma does not have quite the emotional impact of Gone Home, it tells a compelling story about corporate greed in a rather realistic space setting in the year 2088. I love how the developers tell their story mostly through environmental clues, and sometimes it just takes one hidden letter or a well-placed object to evoke emotions and if u take ur time getting to know the characters and their small little stories u can't help but feel empathetic for everyone of them. Again, I like the song choices that make certain moments much more memorable. I can't wait to dive deeper into the tracks, just like I did with Gone Home, where I discovered bands such as Le Tigre and Bikini Kill. I'm quite eager to see what they have in store with their next game called Open Roads.

totally agree with you I appreciate the rather down-to-earth characters as well. I read about the drama just yesterday, but if I understood correctly, everyone except one founder, who was mostly responsible for it, left Fullbright to work on the title with the backing of Annapurna, so there is hope, i guess. Also, Keri Russell, whom I adored in The Americans, will work as a voice actor on Gone Roads which is pretty cool.
