Gone Home vs Rooms of Memory
Gone Home
Gone Home is a story-rich, point-and-click adventure game where you find your childhood home devoid of life after returning from a year abroad. The mystery of it all sets you off on an investigate mode as you examine clues and uncover what had happened to your family using what they have left behind. The storyline you'll gradually reveal is both heartwarming and incredibly relatable as it touches on a family's struggle with uncertainty, heartache and change.Being a point-and-click adventure, this game doesn't have any puzzles to challenge you or intruders who will attack you on sight. There isn't anything supernatural about the whole event so there's no need to fear looking behind your back or into a mirror. All you need to do is to find and collect clues, and eventually piece together the story of what had happened to your family while you were away.
This is definitely the sort of game that a fan of story-rich games would love. The entire game's premise is centered around its storyline and hence, it's as good as it gets.
Rooms of Memory
Rooms of Memory is a classic hidden object game where you've just come into possession of a mansion that has been passed down from generation to generation in your family since its last caretaker, your uncle, has mysteriosuly vanished. Explore your vast estate as you search for clues to uncover the many and somewhat troubling family secrets the building houses, as well as hints on your uncle's current whereabouts. However, the manor won't give up its secrets so easily... it'll take preseverance on your part to eventually reveal the truth!Rooms of Memory is a somewhat simplified version of the Mystery Manor and will definitely appeal to a broader range of players (of varying skill levels). We'd recommend playing this game before attempting any of the more "hardcore" hidden object adventures.
