Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition PC kaufen

Kelly fährt durch ein Gewitter auf dem Land in Nebraska, auf dem Weg nach Hause vom Stall ihrer Großeltern inmitten raschelnder Maisfelder und verblassender Kleinstädte. Sie nimmt Anrufe von ihrer Mutter, ihren Eltern und dem jüngeren Bruder entgegen und knüpft dabei familiäre Bande wieder, die durch Behinderung, Erwachsensein und Pflichten strapaziert wurden. Dieses Indie-Abenteuer entfaltet sich als visuelle Kurzgeschichte über 20 Meilen. Spielerinnen und Spieler lenken das Auto vorwärts, um das Gespräch am Laufen zu halten - mit knapp 800 Entscheidungen im Hauptstrang und Epilog, die den Ausgang verändern. Stillstand bremst die Zeit, also muss es ständig vorangehen, um heimzukommen. Fans narrativer Indie-Abenteuer mit dialoglastigem Gameplay kommen bei diesem intimen Familienporträt voll auf ihre Kosten.

In her mid-20's, Kelly has been forced to move back to Nebraska. Back to that flat expanse, that seemingly endless sea of rustling cornstalks peppered by rusty silos and rustier towns. A typically intense Midwestern storm is approaching while Kelly is out; she needs to get home.



Three Fourths Home is a visual short story in which you assume the role of Kelly during her drive through the storm. In the 20 miles between her grandparents' crumbling barn and her parents' home, she receives a phone call from her mother. While driving through a stylized representation of rural Nebraska, you must navigate an extended conversation between Kelly and her parents and younger brother.

Three Fourths Home takes a look into a specific moment of these characters' lives and their relationships with one another. The narrative touches on a variety of issues affecting Kelly and her family, including disability, adulthood, and familial obligation.

Gameplay

As a visual short story, dialogue choice is the primary focus of Three Fourths Home. Between the main game and the epilogue, nearly 800 unique dialogue choices shade the story differently based on how you play. In addition to dialogue choice, you must also keep driving in order to keep the conversation going. Stop, and time slows to a crawl. Kelly has to move forward in order to get home.

New to the Extended Edition

For its Steam release, Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition includes an expanded edit of the initial release as well as several new elements, including a new epilogue in addition to a number of extra features.
