Gone Home designer's book

The Gone Home designer's book is a bonus document included in the physical limited edition copy of the PC and Mac game. It was included along with a poster, sticker, the soundtrack and the audio diaries. The booklet provides a glimpse into the writing and design of the game.

Contents
The booklet does not feature a table of contents, but it is split into several sections that focus on specific aspects of the game. It is 38 pages long, and features hand-drawn concept art and early planning, such as draft versions of letters and short descriptions of in-game items. These are shown without any annotation or feedback from the creators.

The first page features a small introduction, written by Steve Gaynor in 2014. The booklet also covers information from early controls and house layouts, to initial plots and ideas that the game was to explore. Many of the ideas in this booklet were either cut or adapted to develop the version of the game that was ultimately released.
