About This Game 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.GameplayAs 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 EditionFor 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. Epilogue: Idling in the RubbleSet at a bus stop in snowy Minnesota, Idling in the Rubble follows another conversation that Kelly has with her mother. The 20-30 minute experience delves into Kelly's past, examining her reasons for moving back to Nebraska and her internal struggle following the events of the main game.Extra FeaturesRadioListen to the soundtrack by Neutrino EffectStoriesFour new stories penned by Kelly's younger brother, BenPhotosTake a look through Kelly's final project for her college photography class 6d5b4406ea Title: Three Fourths Home: Extended EditionGenre: Adventure, IndieDeveloper:[bracket]gamesPublisher:DigeratiRelease Date: 20 Mar, 2015 Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition Free Download [hack] I liked the story, the visual part and music are great. The game is very unusual, simple and deep at the same time. Not just to relax, but to think, also.. Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition is a character study. You learn about Kelly, her family, and the trials that have led to this place and time. Kelly is trying to get in home in the middle of a summer storm in Nebraska. While driving she is talking to first her mother and then the other members of her family. The interactive comes in the form of selecting how Kelly responds during the conversation.If you are looking for a game with a lot of interactivity, this game is not for you. But I suspect anyone reading this would know that already. If the general descriptions of the game have piqued your interest, then the game is worth your time and money. With that said, make sure you play the second scenario (Kelly waiting for the bus in Minnesota) to get the full sense of the game. Also, the stories that are included as extras are worth your time as well.. Loved the original, and jumped to get it on Steam when I heard about the Extended Edition.Great, well delivered story. And I love the whole aesthetic, the menus and UI are so nice.. Three Fourths Home is a short, read-heavy experience that reflects on life when it doesn't turn out so well, and hits that mark pretty spot on. With that said, the game might not be for everyone; it is pretty much all about the dialogue, with few substantial changes to the environment and few controls (plus the fact that they really should've made a toggle option for driving - you can only hold D for so long). However, if you allow yourself to take in the story, to explore the different options in the dialogue tree and learn about the family, it turns out to be a really gripping tale with some great detailing. The way the backgrounds follows the story (your character says "I'm at the highschool" and it appears in the background, for instance) is also beautiful and is very much served by the scaled down aesthetic, as it really is noticable when something appears.And then we have the Epilogue, which is a must-play when you've finished the game. While the main game has the plot and the overall story interactions, this is where the heart of the game really lies - at least in my opinion. It hits every beat supremely well and illustrates the main character's feelings in a way that is both artistic and yet very clear (at least for someone who has gone through similar things). The main game is good, but the epilogue elevates the experience in a way to make it great, and with some side content that actually adds to the story and the themes, Three Fourths Home actually manages to become something unique.If you're looking for a good story with poignancy, I suggest you give this game a try. It will probably be worth your while.. I don't really know what to say about this game. It's weird. I want to make clear that this game is ONLY a conversation. That's really all it is. You don't go to different places like a house or a tower. It's only a conversation. The conversation just gets boring after a while. There's no voice acting, so that also prevents from getting more into the story. The story is slightly interesting, but not nearly interesting enough to make up for the fact there's nothing to listen to and nothing to see.. I'm so damn tired of people complaining about paying for art. You don't like it? fine, it's up for debate, but you're really going to complain that 7 measly bucks is too much? and you want multiple endings? more "gameplay"? seriously? this is a damn fine "game" but the word "game" is no longer what it once was. we've moved past it. you don't need points, or kills, or combos, or new game+ or god damn "winning". it's interactive art, if you don't like the art then fine, but stop saying it's not good because it's not "gamey" enough, it's just stupid.Oh and holding a button down the entire time to drive adds to the feeling of driving through a crazy\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665thunderstorm while having some intense conversations. sorry there's no driving mechanic that allows you to crash and lose and start at the last checkpoint, jesus.. Oh man, the feels. I wasn't ready for this one. It really hit too close to home. It's a visual novel with an incredible aesthetic, it's just a beautiful way to spend a few hours. The sound design is great and immersive, the sound really adds to the pacing of the story. And remember to take the time to finish the epilogue too. It's cathartic after the emotional wringer you've just been put through.
