"Lil Johnny Goes Home" is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from Osgoode Township High School in Ontario, Canada. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have.

Truly a breath taking, inspirational, peaceful game. The deep lore, immaculate game play and breath taking sights create unlimited possibilities.
