Editor's Rating
Story - A Long Journey takes you on an adventure filled with teen conversations, plot potential, and sci-fi elements that have been explored before. Unfortunately, the dialogues and story progression can't quite live up to the game's impressive visuals. While the protagonist is relatable and competent, spending extensive amounts of time deciphering lengthy conversations about teenage problems can be tedious and slow-paced. - 77%
Visual - Visually, A Long Journey impresses with gorgeous graphics, stunning renders, and remarkable animations, including intricacies like breast deformation and realistic kissing scenes. The game's Unity development and sleek graphic interface contribute to a smooth and visually appealing experience. Kudos to Marvellous Lunatic for the remarkable effort put into the game's aesthetics and technical execution. - 97%
Engagement - Engaging players is a crucial aspect of any game, and A Long Journey manages to capture attention with its gripping story. The protagonist is relatable, and the love interests feel realistic, enhancing the immersion of players. However, the game struggles to maintain engagement throughout, especially when conversations become repetitive and fail to progress the narrative significantly. - 75%
Core Loop - The core loop of A Long Journey revolves around clicking through extensive text boxes to uncover more of the story. While some players may enjoy reading for the sake of reading, the lack of meaningful decision trees and limited interaction within the game contribute to a somewhat monotonous experience. Additionally, the inclusion of free-roaming elements feels unnecessary and fails to add value to gameplay. - 65%

Yet another massively clueless dumbfuck MC. I was already skeptical due to the fact it was a Unity game instead of Renpy. The last straw was the seemingly obligatory redhead with freckles girl. Deleted the game. Life is too short.
Garbage game. You play an emasculated beta male bitch. The first person you meet after you wake up is a total bitch that slaps you in the face, I would have slapped the freckles off that bitch. Not the MC though, he’s a worthless simp that calls women “mistress”. Like for real, if you aren’t a skinny jeans wearing bitch, this game is going to piss you off. Deleted after around 15 minutes of playing, thank God I’m smarter than to pay for trash like this.
Too much repetition for my taste, I get that it’s supposed to give the impression of time passing, but it’s my life clicking through the same shit over and over.
I am the poster with the android version of the game, since the post posted haven’t shown yet, I’ll just to a separate post. The .zip is actually a zip file that you need to decompress, inside is a .apk file that is 2.43gb and I have successfully installed the game.
Game installer for android doesn’t seem to work, it is downloaded as .zip, I changed it to .apk and it is not working, would try again to see if it works. I’ll post again if it works, if not I’ll just move on
I hope you like blue veins all over your women, otherwise you may be disappointed. The other chick is covered in freckles, but at least that works.
