DESCRIPTION

The story of The Longest Journey is the story of April, an art student in a slightly futuristic world who has just turned 18 years old. Soon after her birthday, April decides to leave her repressive home environment and seek her fortune in Venice, a bohemian slum located in the heart of the sprawling metropolis of Newport. April leaves most of her life behind as she begins her journey, bringing only a few samples of her artwork, all the money from her savings account, and a small box of drawings she made as a child.

The point-and-click adventure in The Longest Journey takes place in two different worlds. Stark is the solid world of logic and technology that most of us consider to be "reality." Arcadia is the chaotic world of emotion and magic. April must come to understand both worlds (or at least understand herself in both contexts) to achieve lasting balance. As she comes to understand the worlds around her, she solves puzzles to move the plot of the story forward.

Funcom's The Longest Journey was an extremely successful game in Europe before being translated to English and prepared for its release in the United States and Canada. The game was not edited for content during translation and the game receives an ESRB "M" rating due to its rough language and mature subject matter. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“One of the best point & click adventure games you can imagine.”

“This was a pretty fun game. I've heard that the sequel has some problems, but I think I'll end up buying it anyway.”

“I thought Xfire picked this up, but I guess it didn't. I only played for about an hour, I think. I haven't played many adventure games. This game is a touch slow so far, but I think I'll enjoy it....”

“You can never have enough games on Steam :)”

“:) true dat

Can I just say that Steam has probably completely changed the way that I play & own games?

Laziness & cheapness ftw :)”

onemorehour was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Seriously. They routinely price things at 80% off, which is just about the point at which I can no longer make rational economic decisions. For less than $5, I'll buy games I'm pretty sure I won't like. Then you get so used to firing up whatever game you feel like that it becomes a ridiculous burden to have to go put in a disc. :P”

“I have yet to buy an actual game on steam, so I don't use it regularly. I plan on picking up a few titles, but its on the back burner till a really good deal rolls around or I get a new vid card. ”

“I added you :-)”

“@onemorehour it's amazing just how annoying putting in discs can be... I've ripped most of my games to disc though annoyingly some of them have copy protection that stymies that (!!!) - Diablo 2 is an example @HIghSimSim Thanks dude!

I also like the fact that Steam has a lot of oldies and random fun indie games... including 2d platformers & arcade style games which I must admit are an obsession I never got over !”

“I know this sounds horribly pathetic. But half the games I have managed to salvage from Katrina boxes of shit I'd forgotten to go though properly or just misplaced... Well apparently a good many...”

“My reply got deleted for some reason...
Anyways, I really liked the whole game, if a bit disappointed by how obvious the ending was. Overall, I'm really glad I got this game, great story and nice logic for the puzzles.
The sequel though, ugh...”
