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.

You might say I was "Three Fourths Disappointed"

Pros:
-- If you relate to this story, I could see it being quite moving
-- Interesting take on a story-telling mechanic, with it being told via a phone call
-- If you're in it for the trophies, you can be done in a few hours

Cons:
-- For being such a simply-designed game, the controls are frustrating
-- The game is set during a phone call, but no voice-over makes it a lot of text to get through (in addition to the controls)
-- If this story doesn't resonate with you, it may feel quite empty by the end

Great story but the controls ruin the experience. I like this one but it comes with a huge caveat in that regard.
