Follow this guide to find all commentary nodes in Gone Home and unlock the 'Behind the Scenes' trophy. Learn how to enable commentary mode and locate every node.
To obtain the Behind the Scenes trophy in Gone Home, you need to explore the house with the Developer Commentary switched on and activate all the commentary nodes.
Walkthrough
- 1After selecting a new game, go to the Modifiers & Commentary option and turn on "Enable Commentary".
- 2It is recommended to turn on all lights and unlock all doors to make navigation easier.
- 3Find and activate all the commentary nodes scattered throughout the house. These nodes appear as large lightbulbs.
- 4Interacting with a node will trigger developer commentary about the location, a design feature, or an item. Once activated, the node will go dark.
- 5The trophy will appear as soon as you trigger the final node.
Notes:
- You can activate the nodes in any order.
- You can cut the commentary short if you wish.
- The game does not record your progress in finding the commentary nodes.
- If you activate a second node while one is still active, the first one will stop and the second one will begin.
