ABOUT THE GAME

The Longest Journey is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Funcom, and released on Microsoft Windows in November 1999. An iOS version was later developed and released on October 28, 2014. The game's story sees players assume the role of a young art student from Earth, who is thrust into an emerging situation that leads her into discovering about the existence of a parallel Earth where magic exists, and how a delicate balance that has kept the two worlds separate is now being thrown into chaos. The game's setting make uses of a mixture of science fiction elements, alongside high fantasy elements. The Longest Journey received praise for its protagonist and complex storyline, though critics raised issues with the puzzles incorporated into the game. From release, the game was a commercial success, selling over 500,000 units by 2004, and later spawning two sequels - Dreamfall: The Longest Journey in 2006; and Dreamfall Chapters, an episodic sequel released over two years between 2014 and 2016.
