Home Grove Aims To Tell An Important Non-Binary Story In NO LONGER HOME
Fellow Traveller and Humble Grove’s latest title, No Longer Home releases in less than a week! Debuting on PC, July 30th, No Longer Home tells a tale of non-binary friends as they approach one of the most important times in their lives. This is actually a semi-autobiographical story about two of the game’s non-binary developers and what they had to endure following their graduation from college.
Gameplay-wise, you’ll explore the main characters, Ao and Bo’s apartment, conversate with friends, and interact with Lu a multi-eyed animal-like creature. It’s all about the relationships of these friends and seeing what they’re going through with these big life-changing moments.
“Precarity and identity are the predominant themes through the story. The events in the game are based on our own experiences, during a time when we were feeling disillusioned with post-uni life and trying to figure out what to do next.” says Cel Davison (they/them), Lead Writer & Cinematographer. “No Longer Home is about exploring our place in the world and finding wonder in everyday domesticity.”
The No Longer Home soundtrack composed by IGF-nominated sound artist and composer Eli Rainsberry (they/them) of A Monster's Expedition, Bird Alone, Wilmot’s Warehouse, with contributions from session musician Derek Daley (he/him), and the prequel Friary Road’s soundtrack will be available for $9.99 and $4.99 respectively.
There’s also the Farewell Edition bundle which includes the base game and both soundtracks. The game’s prequel, Friar Road will also be included with No Longer Home.
No Longer Home launches for PC on Steam, Epic Games Store, Humble, and GOG.com on July 30th. The game will also be on sale with a 20% discount during its first week!
