Anatomy VS Gone Home – Knowing Your Genre

This is the last of the videos with the old mic so the audio should slowly improve from here on out. I had some difficulties trying to figure out how to talk about this one. Figuring out why these very similarly styled games got a different reaction out of me took a bit. At first I was going to chalk it up to just a difference which genre I prefer but that was ultimately a shallow read. Yes, Anatomy is a horror game played straight while Gone Home has horror trappings but that’s not really the full scope of the problem. Gone Home using horror tropes undermines it’s own narrative while Anatomy fulfills the promise it sets up in the beginning.
