Gone Home creators have gone to outer space with Tacoma

One of the most promising indie games coming for Microsoft’s platforms is Tacoma, the latest from the creators of Gone Home at the Fullbright Company. I got a good look at the PC and Xbox One game at the recent Electronic Entertainment Expo. It’s an original work that draws on some memorable space adventures such as 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Tacoma is a circular space station more than 200,000 miles from Earth. Something has gone wrong, and a malfunctioning artificial intelligence, Odin, holds a lot of the clues about the dilemma. The crew of six scientists has gone missing, and a contractor named Amy Ferrier has been sent to the station to recover data for her employer, the Venturis Corp.
