No Map Home is a free cooperative fantasy RPG played in a web browser, with no download or account needed to begin. Groups of adventurers followed the Hollow Star underground and never came home; at Lantern’s Rest, Mara keeps a light burning for each of them. Players choose one of eight classes, rekindle the Nine Watchlights, explore twenty-one wilderness regions and the realms beyond them, and descend through twenty-five dungeon depths, alone or in a party of up to eight. The world runs in real time: basic attacks land on a shared two-second heartbeat while players time abilities, defenses and movement. One day passes over the whole world, and at night a covered lantern hides a hero while an open one draws hunters. Heroes share a home with every character on their account, grow crops and build in a private wilderness, and can hire a mercenary from the guild. Defeat returns a hero to a checkpoint with their progress intact.
Key features
- Free in the browser. Start as a guest; from level 2 the guest is kept, and registering during play keeps the hero for good.
- Eight classes, each with a branching ability tree and its own defense.
- Real-time combat on a shared two-second heartbeat. Ready your next ability while the current one prepares.
- A world drawn in ink and watercolour and revealed as you travel: twenty-one wilderness regions, twenty-five dungeon depths, Gloamwood, the Sunscour desert and Hell.
- One shared day over the whole world. Kindle your lantern for a short blessing, or cover it to slip past enemies in the dark.
- Parties of up to eight, join links, and sites that open only for a party. Hire a support, ranger or defender mercenary from the guild.
- A home for all your heroes: rooms, a vault and a trophy gallery, plus a private wilderness with crops, buildings and visiting traders.
- No permadeath. Defeat returns you to a checkpoint with your levels, abilities and items.
Latest update · November 2026
- The Mercenaries’ Guild in Lantern’s Rest: complete the Guild’s Proving, then hire one of nine mercenaries to fight beside you.
- Day and night: one shared hour-long day. Kindle your lantern for a blessing, or cover it to hide in the dark.
- Three new realms: Gloamwood and Ravencourt Manor (levels 29–40), the Sunscour desert (35–50), and Hell beneath the Redstone War Fort (43–44).
- Ready an ability while another is preparing, and see the marks a fight leaves on the ground.
- Quests, contracts, escorts and treasure pay more gold at higher levels.
- The map is now painted in watercolour washes beneath the ink lines.
