Bo and Ao: two queer, non-binary friends who are recent university graduates prepare to move out of the flat they lived in together, over the past year. Both struggle to find work and meaning in post-education life. Disillusioned with their time in the UK and forced out of the country by a government that doesn’t want them there, Ao prepares to move back to Japan, leaving their friends and Bo behind. Home seems like a difficult place to hold on to, and deep under their South London flat, something grows…
No Longer Home is a semi-auto-biographical point-and-click game, set in a magical realist world. You can wander through an intimate flat, and examine the everyday belongings of Bo and Ao. Delve into their thoughts and insights, and mould your interpretation of the characters through branching, multiple-choice dialogue.
No Longer Home (originally called 29) was created by Humble Grove which was founded in 2015 by Cel Davison and Hana Lee, after graduating from the Illustration course they met in at Camberwell College of Arts (UAL). They began to work on 29: recreating the flat they had spent their last year of university in, as a way to document the uncertainty they felt post-graduation.
