Description:

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. 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...

they pack their belongings in the home they've shared , they'll unleash more than just memories
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.


a semi - autobiographical game
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.


appreciating everyday magical moments

shared with loved ones

and coming to terms with an uncertain future



The game is fully accessible and you can play using keyboard or controller. Screen readers support is great and there are audio descriptions too.

The game is like 2/3 hours long but it's more like adventure game than visual novel.

If this is anything like the amazingly good Gone Home, it should be very, very good. I'll keep an eye on this one for sure

Wait wait @3, can you actually play that? I also really really loved it, but it wasn't playable last I checked. Although that was like 3 years ago I think lol

Abay chal.

well, though not my type of game, I'm more than willing to try any fully accessible titles. I'll have to pick this up when I've got extra cash to throw away.

@#3: It's not but it's really well written and has good audio.

did I do something wrong? audio description is on, but I don't get any description...

2022-08-14 19:12:44

@Godfather:

To be fair Gone Home was essentially a wander around the home/point and click adventure sort of thing. I played it before losing my sight and it was fantastic for atmosphere and tugged on the heartstrings yes, it was a great game. People compare GH to Dear Esther, but there's not much in common bar the irst person narrative

#8 i have the same problem. The audiodescription is checked under sound and accessibility but I don't get any descriptions of the environment. Probably there's something i'm missing or a key which makes it describe stuff maybe?

Well I can't even get this game to run.
Its starting but what are the controls, is there any documentation at all.
How to toggle audio descriptions and stuff.
I have done an ocr of the screen, but yeah as far as I can tell there isn't a way to interact with the keyboard.
Looks like another inaccessible crappy game I guess.
A pitty because I wanted to doodle with it for a few minutes.

2022-08-14 21:06:57

and here is me thinking this was going to be an accessible tribute to recent Spider Man movies...

I am definitely getting full keyboard support, but like others here, not audio description. This looks amazing, though, rather peaceful/pretty and I love the music.

2022-08-14 21:25:52

#13 i've found that before but there's no mention of audiodescription and how to use it. I thought if there's an option to enable it it has been fully implemented already.
#11 for me when I've started it for the first time it opened a menu and it was talking. You have to use nvda, other screenreaders won't work.

I'm unsure if I should buy this game but I don't know if I should because if it's inaccessible, meaning if there is no speech I'm not buying it.

2022-08-15 05:16:58

Hmmmm interesting.
It was free this morning and how its 11 pounds.
For a game I may only play for a little its a bit steap.
Now saying that I do have some time to murder as I have a dentist appointment later in the day so will have a few hours to kill and I also may have a few hours tonight.
Weather I will keep it is a different thing though.
I never was able to get the game working but we will see I guess

2022-08-15 19:58:46

Well got it and played it.
The game concept is nice.
I played the game through quite a way till I couldn't play anymore.
Never found the end and never got involved.
For me it just happened to be a 1 shot.
This is a real pitty.
Environments didn't change that much and well I mean if you like this sort of thing fine but for the cash as I suspected it wasn't me.

2022-08-16 02:26:52

I bought it but I can't play it. it's saying that the app is damaged.  On Mac m1 max.

I love the game, it's something fun to pass the time, most likely will put it on my compute stick and will play on the journeys to work and to uni on the train, where the world is boring.

I am myself and noone is ever gonna change me, I am the trolling master!
