New Huge Patch goes Live and final Full Release Date - 10th March 2022!

New "No Place Like Home"!

Save game reset

In preparation for the Full Release Patch (coming 10th of March), we have just launched a massive update to our entire game. It is now live and your games should update automatically.
We can't wait for you to try it but unfortunately, it came with a price - we had to erase all your current progress in order to make it work.
We are very sorry that there was no other way and we promise that this was only a one-time thing and it will not happen again.
We are extremely excited about all the new features in No Place Like Home and we hope that you will love them too!

So please accept our apologies and fully enjoy from the beginning a new and upgraded No Place Like Home!

All new save games will carry on with the full release patch!

So what is new?

To be honest almost everything, we have been working on improving every aspect of the game and we are very happy about the results. There have been hundreds of changes to the game but we will try to summarize most important things and keep it short.

New Story and Quests

Whole story and quests have been completely rewritten and updated. We still need to introduce a new animated intro and story recap for full release but to give you glims of what is waiting for you please check out our teaser below:

You play as Ellen, a girl who is ready to move from a temporary space station to Mars after humanity
trash the Earth and decided to abandon it. Just before the move she decides to make a final trip to
her grandpa who stayed on earth and enjoy last holidays on his farm. However when she finally gets
to her destination it turns out that her grandpa and all animals have mysteriously vanished and
whole farm is completely trashed and overrun by strange malicious robots.
She has to keep on cleaning trash and moving forward through world to find whole squad (all farm
animals and her grandpa) and solve the mystery of their disappearance.
All the clues lead to enigmatic sunken city that stretches out of the sea on horizon but she has no
idea how to get there.
Her first encounter is Cornelius, a one of a kind talking chicken who sends her on her quest to save all
chickens and take a good care of them. She has to build them a house, grow food, give them funky
outfits and make an awesome chicken disco party to make all their worries go away.

New UI

We have updated almost the entire game UI and is more polished, refined and as cute as it can get!
You can check it out accross all other screen and as an exmaple on screen below!

New Trash

We have introduced a new Trash to game that looks bigger better and we feel is more enjoyable to clean. Main point behind this decision was optimization and we had to introduce it to game anyway but we are very happy about how it turned out.

New Save Game System

We have upgraded our save system and unstuck button. Now you can save game wherever you want or save game and return to home (as a fast travel option)
You can still use bed to save your game and finish the day but its just an optional option.

New Balance (stilll wip)

We have updated costs of all the items in game to make trash more usefull and resources scarce. Please note that its still work in progress and we are looking forward to your feedback on how it works.

Controller Support (WIP)

We are still working on full implementation but you can already use game controller with our game.

New Items

We have introduced tons of new items with lots new coming soon. You can check a short summary below:

Ellen's new look
