200: Gone Home

from The Short Game Hosted by The Short Game

Our 200th episode is a special milestone, and we’re spending it returning to the topic of our very first episode. Gone Home came out in August 2013 (our show started in April 2014) and its influence is still being felt today! We start by patting our selves on the back for keeping the podcast going for over five and a half years, then discuss the game, focusing on its legacy and influence across the industry. Gone Home is available on pretty much every platform you can name these days including computers, phones, and tons of consoles. Expect it to take you about 2 hours to complete. A special thank you to my co-hosts for sticking with me and the show for these many years. -RK The Short Game is supported directly by our listeners on Patreon!
