    I want to preface this by saying I play a lot of visual novels so I am the ideal audience for games that are very text heavy and don't have much in the way of actions. I don't dislike this game because it lacks shooty-bang-bang. I dislike it because... it fails at everything it's trying to accomplish. To it's credit, it at least has the decency to be a short game with a two hour run time as it's problems run so deep …

    As an angsty millennial I feel an authority to say No Longer Home has way too much millennial angst. It just... wallows in the angst. Excessively. This game is so slow. I don't know if the developers thought they had to pad the playtime, or they just thought what they created was so profound that we would need all this time to properly marvel at their genius. Most of the game you're just sitting there waiting for …

    A celebration of the non-binary experience, told with minimalistic artistry and hints of magical realism. Finding good games with well-developed LGBTQ+ characters can be challenging. While there are certainly games that have included those characters, and even developed them well, those games are sadly few and far between. It’s even rarer to find an LGBTQ+ character represented as a main rather than a supporting …

    This a really moving story of two non-binary final year students where one is having to move back to Japan forcing the couple to go long distance. Some really emotional scenes about not feeling like you belong and some mental health discussions as it is clear both characters are struggling mentally. Perfect game to try out this pride month!

    I enjoyed this game a lot. The art is impeccable, the music is a masterpiece (it's my favourite kind of music), and the way the level 'pieces' float and construct themselves is truly astonishing (it really adds this element of atmosphere and reality breaking down). Thoroughly enjoyed the games minimalist, soft art-style and the camera movements are delicious too. I think there is something to be said with just …

    Graphically and stylistically too derivative of Kentucky Route Zero, and as such I had a difficult time investing in the extremely short and, unfortunately, boring story; two characters have finished University and now must move on with their lives. It seemed a bit.... self important and indulgent. It felt weightless. The conversation around privilege due to finances felt extremely disingenuous. These characters clearly are not poor, yet speak as though the have it rough. Indeed it is a…

    A short game about the shared anxiety among newer generations regarding adulthood and the future. As a millennial, I can certainly relate. My parents' generation told us all that if we went to college/university, that we'd, more or less, be guaranteed a decent life, but that was a combination of illusion and wishful thinking. I thought this issue was more American, considering the late-stage capitalist hellscape the US is, but this story takes place in England, where it would seem gen Y…

    No Longer Home is a 2 hour story about two non-binary art students anticipating their long distance relationship. The art style is clean and comforting, the music is soothing (if not mezmerizing), and the writing is pretty decent. I've had to let out a smile or a chuckle here and there, and by the end of the game I noticed myself caring a tiny little bit about the characters. It feels like a game developed entirely by artists, for where the artsy aspects shine, the design falls short. Movement…

    Even though this game is 2 hours long, it felt like I was playing it for much longer. The pacing is incredibly slow, it takes ages for the characters and text to move. The story is basically about moving out - it's boring, without any emotions or meaning. The only positive thing I got to say about it is the visuals are nice. There are free games which are better than this, avoid it like a plague unless you want easy 100% completion. On a sidenote, I still can't stop laughing about the fact…

    A two hour walking and commenting upon objects simulator. A lot of object commentary regards peeling paint, dead plants, and mold growing through cracks; it sets the tone, but it's overly played. Players simply progresses to the next stage with an illusion of choice. That's part of the theme, but it's not quite compelling content for a game. Anxiety, angst, and ennui unnecessarily pepper dialog. There is no resolution to be had for any issues the leading characters face. Character growth does…

    I debated whether to recommend this or not and ultimately decided not to. This game obviously means a lot to the devs and is very personal, but that's one of the problems with this game. They made it for themselves, or to have some closure from that moment in their lives, not to make a game accessible to a lot of people. I am also a Millenial that dealt with with a lot of the things the game talks about but somehow the game was unrelatable to me. And as other reviews have said, it's SO SLOW…

    It's simple: this is Cultural Marxism disguised as a video game. For reference, I gave this a chance, and finished the game with several achievements. Let's start with the good, because credit is due where credit is due: - the moving geometry designs are really well executed. - the music and sound effect are spot on. Little details here and there give the game its charm. - the game won't make use of it, but supports ultra wide screen (ie, it will boot and run at 21:9 on a 32:9 screen).…

    I wanted to enjoy this game, I really really did. However, it's two hours of slow-motion camera panning, object clicking (there are begonias growing from the cabinets, but the cabinets don't change in appearance?), and it's hard to follow the overarching plot long-term. I'm prone to migraines and ended up with a headache and nausea from the camera angles and wall flipping. Maybe someone would enjoy this, but I'm not sure I'm that person.

    After reading the review that this game is about LGBTQ+ characters and after watching the trailer where you can see some mystical creatures you definitely be curious and after a while buy this game. So, you get a story about two students who live together in a big house. Ao and Bo are not in the relationship but they respect each other and as a player you learn about their problems (adulthood, society acceptance of their gender, etc.) and after a while they are going to move out...

    No Longer Home is a simple game about letting go of the life you've built due to circumstances beyond your control. You get a close look at the lives of Bo and Ao and you learn about their dreams, frustrations and fears. This is an Interactive Story, point-and-click, where you wander through the home shared by the main protagonists and their flatmates. No Longer Home is fine for what it is, but feels like it could have been so much more. The writing is really well done and the characters feel…

    I finished this game in less than 90 minutes my first playthrough, and that was even taking time to explore the environment and reading all the dialogue. I played the first 1/3 of it a second time to get a couple of achievements I'd missed in my first run. About a quarter of that time wasn't time that I could spend interacting with the game - it was time that the game locked my character in place and made the camera zoom in, or out, or pan around, really slowly. It was frustrating at times. I…

    Side by side in bed late into the night, talking until sleep comes. Walking through moonlit streets in hushed voices. In the familiar apartment and its street corners, memories rise with a quiet ache for what is about to be lost. One last barbecue with friends in the courtyard. One final game in the room. The whole experience holds that particular sadness of an ending yet to come, like the last evening before summer fades. It reminds me of my friends in Britain and Japan. Busy as they are,…

    Mixed feelings about this one. I say I recommend it just to push up the avg review score, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend it to most people. I enjoyed my time here. It is less of a game and more of a time capsule, both specific to the protagonists and yet relatable to most. 20-somethings who have experienced the sudden thrust into society and been a bit lost. Pressure from family or society pushes against your own desire to do something different. Frustration at yourself and the world for…

    €15,- for an incredibly slow, short game?? Definitely overpriced, and I'm glad I got it as part of a Humble bundle with games I'm actually interested in. I can see why this game has mixed reviews. There are some good points (soundtrack, art style, LGBT+ representation), but overall... the experience was just a snore fest. The animations are slow, the camera motions are slow, EVERYTHING is just... so slow... Personally, I cannot recommend this game, but if it feels like something you would…

    Games like these all come down to how well the story is told, and how you as a player connect with the narrative and characters. I didn't mind the slow pace (at first), I thought the minimalist graphics were fine, and I quite enjoyed the music. However the way in which this story was told did not grab me. Everything felt a bit too... hazy? Like all the dialogue was written to evoke an emotional response of nostalgia, but for me it did not, so it just felt meandering for meandering's sake. I did…

As a story game lover, I'm... disappointed. I wasn't even hyped up for this game. I was just bored, and looking through my library for something new to play/achievement hunt. Which led to me playing No Longer Home. This game honestly feels like a mini promo game for another game(like The Awesome Adventures of…

    *no spoilers contained* At first I really enjoyed the game, even though the screen rotation system, which won't work until the previous turn is over, and the interaction icons not appearing unless I approach close enough were kinda disturbing. I really found it interesting about the characters and storyline. I genuinely wanted to know more about them. You know, curiosity of where this would lead to and how everything would change or stay.

    No Longer Home is an incredibly slow and shallow experience. Dialogue moves at a snail's pace, and transition scenes come to a crawl before you're able to move or interact with anything again. What it lacks in pace, it also lacks in substance. All interactable objects offer no additional context to the story nor characterisation to its cast. There is also little to speak of regarding the story, as nothing really happens. No Longer Home is not worth your time or your money.

The good: - the game boasts a truly unique art style with beautiful visuals that reflect a clear and well-executed vision. - the audio work is impressive, immersing you in the ambiance of terraced houses on the outskirts of London's first zone (was kind of waiting for the sound of screaming foxes in the background, ngl).

    No Longer Home is an authentic and often unsettling story about the process of moving out and moving on. Of course, every player will take something different away from their experience playing, but it is an experience that I highly recommend. With beautiful designs, excellent characters, and a great soundtrack, No Longer Home is well worth picking up.

After the first half of the Game I didn't even care anymore because the dialoug was as flat as the screen I played it on. I think the problem is, I don't care for either Bo or Ao since all we see is that one evening befor they move out. There maybe people who can relate to them regardless but I wasn't one of them.

Turning around and moving back and forth through the rooms could get pretty dizzying at times, mostly at the start.

    I think I played about an hour and this game is very dry. Like many comments, I'm a big fan of novel based games and the text doesn't usually bother me. I liked the premise of it, but I think it isn't executed very well. It's hard to really care about the characters and the space when the dialogue is kind of bland and there is no real 'motivation' in the story. I get that its supposed to be a melancholy look at spaces and a snapshot of a life... but it's really really slow and really bland. The…

    The game has surreal interpretation of scenes and elements and the surrounding ambient music coupled with chill guitar tunes to set the mood, text adventure game within a game, simple polygonic graphics with UI that is from primitive early age of computer graphics, straight lifted from the Kentucky Route Zero from 2013.

    This game felt like a chore to play. Writing is good, dialogue feels very authentic, story is interesting if a bit mundane (but it's not really about the plot, it's about the characters, so that's fine). But overall, the game isn't engaging. This would have been far better as a graphic novel than as a game. It's barely interactive, and the interactivity feels like work.

    Aside from what most people wrote about slow game pace, what bothers me the most is the horrible writing. It's like the text was written by someone that created this game for a high school project. It's bad and without any emotion. If you weren't depressed already, this game will make you.

I found myself wanting to get through all of the dialogue as quickly as possible to get the achievements and be done with it all.

It was hard to connect with or care about Ao/Bo even when I had faced similar feelings of apprehension, lost, trying to self-identify, and the like. A lot of the dialogue seemed disingenuous or sort of faux deep especially when trying to touch on depression. The way they communicated with each other and their friends felt like…

    I played this game to distract myself from apartment hunting. I think that there is no better context to play it. I will probably replay it in a year, when my next lease is up.

    Finally got round to playing No Longer Home - simple, artful little game very indebted to Kentucky Route 0 in its presentation. It's not quite as elegantly written and not at all as ambitious as KR0, but is a very worthwhile two hours in its own right.

    I know it currently has mixed reviews. But it truly was an amazing game. I really connected with both Bo and Ao and the struggles they were facing. A lot of the dialogue both inner thoughts and with people around them really hit me in such a real and relatable game. I wish that the game was longer. I wanted to see what happens, how their lives change, and if they had a happy ending. Short but really beautiful. Definitely something a person should play.

    No Longer Home is a small-scale indie point-and-click game, where you switch roles between two students who will soon be graduating from university and are faced with employment and relocation issues, as well as relationship struggles. It's also grossly overpriced for the quality and length of the game. Additionally, it's loaded with insufferable, angst-ridden twaddle masquerading as deep, meaningful dialogue. Positives: It didn't take too long to complete it....but given how…

    OMG how many comments are about "sooo sooo slooooow"... But it have to be slow. Feelings takes time, processing through emotions takes time. And since the game is all about being in the moment and trying to relate, what could a player even get in turbo-mode: dry lifeless bones of a scenary? It's true that most people probably won't get it; not a mass-product definately. But everything in it benefits a player's experience (maybe exept a pause break which isn't doing it's job but it's not a vital…

    No Longer Home is fine for what it is, but feels like it could have been so much more. The writing is really well done and the characters feel real and well thought out, and the game really hits that "life in your early 20s" vibe that's a crossroads of frustration and uncertainty. However, I really feel like it cuts itself off in its first act. What's here is great, but I was really interested to see how the relationships of these people developed or didn't develop post leaving the place they…

    I don't usually buy narrative games but I saw this nominated for the game awards and gave it a shot. The game is short and details the time a lot of young people go through at the end of university/college where you have no job and have to reluctantly go back home to live with your parents for a bit. The prospects you thought you were getting in university haven't materialised yet. You thought you were an adult but you are going back to being a kid again. The city around you won't stop…

    I enjoyed this game a lot. The art is impeccable, the music is a masterpiece (it's my favourite kind of music), and the way the level 'pieces' float and construct themselves is truly astonishing (it really adds this element of atmosphere and reality breaking down). Thoroughly enjoyed the games minimalist, soft art-style and the camera movements are delicious too. I think there is something to be said with just telling a story. Having a story be told is enough (imo). I really connected with…

    A beautiful, chill game. There isn't much of a plot beyond what the synopsis already tells you. This game is rather about reminiscing, regrets, anxieties about the future... It's quite introspective, despite there being a lot of dialogue. Gameplay-wise, you explore the flat and make choices during conversations, where you'll reply for either of the characters at times. It is minimalistic in that sense, while the presentation is rather "artsy". I guess it has to be your cup of tea in order for…

    While I'm sure the game must have a lot of meaning to the dev's, that doesn't mean it's not incredibly slow and boring. I wanted to like this game, and I do really like the graphics and the way they change scenes and stuff, but everything is so slow that I really had to force myself to finish it.

    The Hardest Years Are always the ones we just got through now. We will always feel as if we are imposters in a world not made for us, a world tilted against us. It will always feel like there is no place that will take us, but there is always someone. A very weird visualization where walls fly and dreams or nightmares come true as the text flies by. It's a very much coming of age story and heavy on text which you have to really take in to get the feeling of hopelessness that every student…

    Short, a little slow-paced at times, and bittersweet. If you’ve ever been a young adult struggling to get by and find your place in life, you’ll be able to relate. It also has nice queer representation from the two main characters, which is pretty cool. The only complaint I have is that it can get a little slow paced, so I had to split up my play through so I wouldn’t get bored. Thankfully you can save and come back. The animation and art style are unique, the soundtrack is surprisingly good,…
