How to play

No Map Home is a multiplayer fantasy RPG you can play in a web browser. Start as a guest to explore, then create an account during play to keep your hero.

Your first journey

1. Choose a class. Open Character & starting stats on the play page. Preview the ability tree before choosing your class and race. Your race choice is permanent.
2. Meet the people of Lantern’s Rest. Read Mara’s account of the missing adventurers. Nearby lists residents, stairs, checkpoints, and discoveries; move close and choose an action to interact.
3. Prepare before leaving. Check your equipment and abilities, then follow the wilderness roads or descend into the vaults. Revealed terrain stays on your map.
4. Keep a way home. Rest at checkpoint lanterns. Awaken city waystones as you find them to make later journeys easier.

Movement and combat

On a phone, drag the map to walk and release to stop. Pinch with two fingers to zoom. Move close, then use the action beside your potions to talk, search, or travel. Nearby lists other choices.

Tap an enemy to select it. Basic attacks repeat while it is in range, on a shared two-second heartbeat. Tap an ability to use it; if it needs a location, tap a tile or slide to aim and release to cast. Cancel stops aiming or preparation.

Watch the marked ground before a large creature attacks. Move out of danger or use your defense button beside the potions. The red potion restores health; the blue restores energy.

Menu holds Bag, Hero, Abilities, maps, journals, and Settings. The world continues while these panels are open.

Keyboard and mouse controls

Move with WASD or the arrow keys. Click an enemy or press T to select it. Press V for class defense. Escape cancels aiming or preparation, releases a target, or closes the top window.
