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 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, but at most times it feels like its dragging on in conversations that are not interesting and not contributing to the story at all.

Overall, I did really find the characters and storyline interesting. I genuinely wanted to know more about them and where their story would lead. You know, how the situation between them would change or if it would stay the same, how would the characters evolve and improve themselves, but then the game was over, without any further progress on the story or characters. No finalization of anything. I also find it sad that all those metaphorical symbolisms remained unexplained and vague.

In the end, No Longer Home is a decent story based interactive game with LGBTQ+ main characters and relatable story, but it falls short with the storytelling and the story progression finding it's end. I would recommend the game, if you find it on a really good sale, but at full price, the game is not worth it, therefore I will not recommend this game. I wish there was a neutral option for steam, but sadly no.
