Gone Home vs Town of Salem
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.
Town of Salem
Town of Salem is very unique game that may look rather simplistic but actually contains a lot of depth. Based on a childhood game of "Who's the Killer?" (or maybe it's better known as "Werewolf and Mafia" in the States), Town of Salem doesn't only provide players with the original gameplay, it also added additional features and roles to make turn the classic game into something more complicated and thus, more intriguing since there are much more factors in play. But the ultimate goal of the game still remains the same - the whole point of the game is for the Sheriff or the people to catch the killer/s before every single player is killed off.Town of Salem can be played for free on your browser but if you buy it on Steam, you'll gain access to its expansion - Town of Salem - Coven. This is something that surprisingly not many players know about - read the descriptions, guys! So, since the game's so different than any other game that you might have played before online, it is always best to try the game out first on browser and then, if you really liked it, buy the game on Steam. By doing this, you can save some hassle and just skip the "asking for a refund" phase if you find that this game is just not for you.
