No Longer Home (2021)

*No Longer Home* invites players into the intimate lives of Bo and Ao, two queer, non-binary university students on the cusp of graduation. Their shared flat in South London has been a sanctuary for a year, but an impending visa expiry will force Ao to return to Japan, leaving Bo in England. Disillusioned with the uncertainties of post-educational life and grappling with a system that feels designed to exclude them, both navigate their complex emotions and uncertain futures. Through an evocative, lo-fi aesthetic, the game meticulously portrays their everyday existence: late-night talks in bed, casual BBQs, and video game sessions, all while something mysterious begins to grow deep beneath their flat, and a multi-eyed, animal-like new flatmate named Lu joins their lives. This deeply personal narrative was directly inspired by developers Hana and Cel's own experiences of being separated after university, transforming their farewells into a collaborative project. This profound exploration of loss, identity, and belonging makes *No Longer Home* a standout title within Fellow Traveller's curated collection. The publisher is renowned for championing narrative-rich, introspective, and often experimental indie games, and this title perfectly embodies that ethos. Its unique blend of relatable slice-of-life moments with subtle magical realism offers a poignant look at the anxieties of young adulthood and the pain of goodbyes. The game's authentic portrayal of queer characters and its deeply personal origins resonate strongly with Fellow Traveller's commitment to diverse storytelling and meaningful interactive experiences, solidifying its place among the best games they have presented to a global audience.
