The studio's first title, Gone Home (Game), was released in August 2013, to [/reviews/gone-home-review/1900-591 critical acclaim], especially with respect to its storytelling. Gone Home was praised for effectively telling a realistic and deeply personal story. In 2014, Johnnemann Nordhagen left Fullbright to found his own company, Dim Bulb Games. In September, the studio changed its name from The Fullbright Company to simply, Fullbright. This change was accompanied by new additions to the team, including: Tynan Wales (Person), Noël Clark and Leon Hartwig (Person). During the inaugural edition of The Game Awards, the studio announced its second game, a first-person exploration game, titled Tacoma (Game).
