how do you say goodbye to a place?

Bo and Ao are graduating university and preparing to leave the flat they’ve lived in together for a year. Thanks to visa limitations, Ao is forced to return to Japan, leaving Bo in England.

No Longer Home is a game about letting go of the life you've built due to circumstances beyond your control. Immerse yourself in the lives of Bo and Ao and learn about their dreams, frustrations and fears. Welcome the magic of the everyday and somewhat extraordinary.

Disillusioned by post-educational life and shoved aside by a government who doesn’t want them there, both are trying to come to terms with their uncertain futures. And deep under their South London flat, something grows...

Wander through an intimate flat and examine the everyday belongings of Bo and Ao. Have BBQs, play video games, and stay up late just talking in bed. Follow the day to day activities and conversations of two queer, non-binary students and their friends. Get to know Lu, the multi-eyed, animal-like new flatmate.

No Longer Home was born when the developers were similarly forced apart after university, and decided to stay in touch by working on a game together. Development duo Hana and Cel chose this project as a way to explore and express the emotions that came with saying goodbye.

DEVELOPED BY

Humble Grove is a two person games collaborative made up of Cel Davison and Hana Lee, based in the UK and Japan. Their design sensibilities are heavily influenced by psychogeography: studying how playful exploration of a place can tell narrative. In addition to this scenography plays a significant role: designing game environments like theatre sets, where moving parts and space is considered, and how they can be emblematic of character’s feelings and experiences. They aim to design video games that are more approachable by including characters of diverse gender, race, ability and age, pushing projects that peak the interest of those not well versed in games.
