No Longer Home v1.3.3.1

No Longer Home is a quiet, personal narrative game about two soon-to-be graduates - Bo and Ao - who must face an uncertain future as one is forced to leave the UK because of visa restrictions. Set mostly in the small South London flat they shared for a year, the game lets you explore everyday objects, overhear intimate conversations, and witness the slow unraveling of post-university life - all while something strange grows beneath the building. It’s a delicate blend of domestic realism, queer coming-of-age themes, and a touch of surrealism embodied by Lu, the multi-eyed, animal-like new flatmate.
Why it stands out
- Deeply human writing: the dialogue and moments focus on the awkward, tender, and sometimes painful realities of saying goodbye and growing up.
- Intimate exploration: interact with belongings, spaces, and small activities - BBQs, late-night talks, video games - that build character and atmosphere.
- Representation and perspective: follows two queer, non-binary protagonists and their friends, exploring identity and displacement with sensitivity.
- Low-key surreal elements: the presence of Lu and the mysterious growth under the flat adds an emotional, slightly uncanny layer to the domestic setting.
- Personal development story: inspired by the developers’ own experience of being separated after university, lending authenticity to the themes.
Gameplay and presentation
No Longer Home is not about action or puzzles so much as observation and immersion. You wander the flat, examine objects, trigger conversations and small scenes, and piece together the relationship between Bo and Ao and the world around them. The pacing is deliberate, intended to make you linger on small details. Visually it favors intimate, stylized interiors and character moments, supported by a soundtrack and sound design that emphasize mood and memory.
Who it’s for
Players who enjoy narrative-driven, low-action games (walking sims, interactive stories) and those looking for emotionally resonant, character-focused experiences will likely appreciate No Longer Home. If you want flashy mechanics or fast-paced gameplay, this isn’t that kind of game - but if you want to sit with a story about leaving, longing, and the small things that make a place feel like home, it’s worth a look.
