Note: I had to set the version to the "beta" branch and then had no issues playing on a modern PC with Windows 11. I decided one day to just play through The Longest Journey in its entirety and record it for Youtube. And it was one of the most fun adventure / point-and-click games I've ever played! You have a likeable protagonist in a unique setting consisting of a futuristic/sci-fi world that finds a way to travel between it and a more medieval/fantasy world. Completing the story requires spending time in both worlds, meeting different characters, learning about the lore of the world, and finding items and solving puzzles. The game is not particularly difficult, at most there was a few moments where you have to be quick to react to something. I found I had to look up a walkthrough a few times to help me ensure I was headed the right direction, but I would always have one nearby for games like these to make sure I'm not stuck. I was pleasantly surprised with graphics, voice acting, music, and the simple controls. I am not sure I'd say any of these were 'amazing', but it all worked together to make it a great experience and a believable world. I'd say if you love point-and-click games, adventure games, or just love a good story about magic mixed with technology, this is a must-play. There are also two sequels in Dreamfall: The Longest Journey and Dreamfall: Chapters. A fourth, "final" chapter is sadly not a reality, but the series is worth it.

This is one of the most compelling and well written stories ever told, if your on steam deck clean install, and use Proton 8.0-5, when the white box pops up bring up the keyboard and press Y for yes or N for no. Dont miss out on this classic just because your on steam deck

Disclaimer: This is a point & click game, so this will already dissuade most people from playing. On top of that, it's older with very dated graphics. And there's not really much action or anything too exciting. What makes this game a classic isn't the graphics or gameplay, but the spirit, characters, and story it possesses. It's also quite long (as the title implies). Relatively speaking, it's not that long of a game, however it feels quite long for an old school point & click game. For some reason the game has really lingered with me after playing it... There's something about it that really resonates with me personally. It's probably a mixture of nostalgia & beauty - it was a very memorable experience. It's an interesting time capsule into the past. As someone who grew up in the late 90s, it encapsulates the feeling of the time when the punky, angsty, sarcastic Gen X attitude was still dominant in the zeitgeist. It has a really great conceptual design, and environments to explore. The atmosphere is something that's unreplicated, even with the later entries in the series. The city of Newport's Venice portion that you walk around in is so ambient, serene, and beautiful. Other parts of the city are very "Blade Runner-esque." Arcadia is universally very beautiful; Marcuria being my favorite. April is kinda whiny at times, and the dialogue is very dated. I'm sure that at the time it was released, the dialogue felt very fresh, but now it feels contemporary to the 90s. And by contemporary, I think the word "cringe" is an apt term for many dialogue options. But that's what adds charm and quirkiness to the game. Many of the puzzles are extremely obtuse, and unintuitive. As the game progresses, they get easier, but initially they are very strange puzzles. There's a lot of backtracking as well which is frankly a little annoying. The character animations and movements are super slow. There's the occasional "hiccup" where a character becomes bugged momentarily (nothing that will break the game or crash the game). And sometimes the arrow doesn't light up when it's supposed to. This game DESPERATELY needs a remaster. Many elements are very beautiful, and the vision is there... but a lot of things are really dated looking. The backgrounds and character models are pixelated and very low-resolution. It could really just use a polish on some of the character models, and backgrounds to really give the game a 'pop' in the modern age. There's a fan made HD Mod Available that upscales everything, it looks amazing, and it's the superior way to play this game. This game would be perfect for a Nightdive Studios treatment.

even months after beating this game, i still find myself thinking about it a lot. i think about april, the setting, the dialogue, the feel of it. despite its age, and despite encompassing many classic fantasy tropes, it manages to be so wholly unique and enthralling, totally charming with a very memorable protagonist. i personally love the back-and-forth setting between a classic high fantasy world versus a grim cyberpunk one. it's such a fun, fascinating dichotomy that i just wanted to keep exploring. and i ADORED april. not just her dialogue and journey, but her VA manages to convey all her lines with such memorable charm. while this game does have its issues, like some really obtuse puzzles that you kind of have to find a guide for, or the fact that, on its own, it really struggles to run properly (100% recommend getting the ScummVM upgrade/HD upscale, as it fixes a LOT of the technical issues), they are absolutely worth pushing through for this truly special game. i cant recommend it enough, and i'll definitely be replaying it again in the near future.
