About No Map Home
No Map Home is an online fantasy RPG made by Olav Botterli. Groups of adventurers followed the Hollow Star underground and have not come back, and in the town of Lantern's Rest a keeper called Mara burns a lantern for each of them. She gives you your first quest: leave by the south gate, cross into the Lantern March wilderness and rekindle the first of nine watchlights. The world is drawn from above in ink and watercolour and fills in on your map as you walk it. Towns and wilderness are shared with other players, while dungeons, ruins and mines are private to you or your party of up to eight.
You pick one of eight classes (Mage, Fighter, Rogue, Cleric, Ranger, Druid, Necromancer or Bard) and one of six races before you start. The world does not pause: basic attacks land every two seconds while an enemy is in range, and you choose when to move, use abilities and raise your class defense. Being defeated returns you to the checkpoint after five seconds with your levels, abilities and items. One day passes over the whole world every 60 minutes, and at night you can kindle your lantern to see farther or cover it to stay hidden. The game is a free public preview with no ads and no purchases. It has a player chat: guests can read the global channels and can mute them, and writing needs a registered account.

Tips and strategy
- A guest is only saved from level 2, so reach level 2 before you close the page if you want to come back to the same hero.
- Your race cannot be changed later. Your class and starting stats are shown before you press play.
- Opening the bag, map or chat does not pause the world, so step away from enemies first.
- Q drinks a health potion and R an energy potion. You start with a few of each.
- Abilities only work with a living enemy selected. Guards and townsfolk are for talking to.
