Evaluation
Tacoma is a self-contained narrative adventure that launched on August 1, 2017. The one meaningful post-launch content addition was a Commentary Mode update on May 8, 2018, which added over two hours of developer audio commentary — this also coincided with the game's PS4 release. Since then, all developer activity on Tacoma has been maintenance-only: bug fixes, macOS compatibility patches (most recently March 9, 2023), and controller support improvements.
Fullbright has since moved on to new projects. A horror microgame, Toilet Spiders, launched in Early Access on October 17, 2024 and reached its 1.0 release on November 27, 2024. A new narrative title, Springs, Eternal, was announced on December 4, 2025 and confirmed for a November 2026 release in a September 1, 2026 announcement. Neither of these projects involves any returning content for Tacoma.
There is no DLC listed for Tacoma, no roadmap, and no developer statement suggesting any further content is planned. The game is complete as it stands.

About this game
The Venturis Corporation wants their AI back. That’s where you come in.
Tacoma is a narrative adventure set aboard a high-tech space station in the year 2088. As you go about your mission, you’ll explore every detail of how the station’s crew lived and worked, finding the clues that add up to a gripping story of trust, fear, and resolve in the face of disaster.
At the heart of Tacoma is the facility’s digital surveillance system, which has captured 3D recordings of pivotal moments in the crew’s life on the station. As you explore, echoes of these captured moments surround you. You’ll use your ability to rewind, fast-forward, and move through the physical space of these complex, interwoven scenes to examine events from every angle, reconstructing the multi-layered narrative as you explore.
Tacoma is the next game from the creators of Gone Home, and carries on that tradition of detailed, immersive, and powerful storytelling, while pulling players deeper into the narrative than ever before.
Now featuring over two hours of Developer Audio Commentary! Just start a new game with Commentary enabled, or toggle it on in the Gameplay options.
Features:
A Richly Layered Story Experience:
Six crewmembers lived and worked on space station Tacoma, forming relationships, experiencing love and loss, and facing crisis together. Discover not just what happened to these people, but what makes them who they are, through your role as an interactive investigator. The story is told through a series of fully voiced and animated interactive AR scenes, immersing you in the events on Tacoma.
A Groundbreaking Multi-Path Story System:
In each section of the station, you are surrounded by digital representations of crewmembers following their own parallel story threads that diverge, recombine, and split off again. Rewind, fast-forward, and move through these scenes’ chronologies as they swirl around you. Your interactive tools allow you to discover the tightly-knotted narrative from every angle, and in every detail.
A Deeply Interactive Gameworld:
Explore Tacoma Station both physically and digitally. Unlock doors and drawers to find meaningful objects, notes, and physical artifacts, while simultaneously exploring extensive records of the crew’s digital communications and personal thoughts. Every facet of the crew’s experience on Tacoma is part of your investigation.
A Vision of the Future:

A Compact Narrative Game:
Tacoma is estimated to take around 2 to 5 hours to complete. How deep you dig and how much detail you find is up to you. Tacoma is a non-combat, non-puzzle-focused game. The details of the story and gameworld are there for you to discover at your own pace.
