The 188th most popular adventure/RPG game on Windows
… More EditThe Longest Journey (Den lengste reisen) is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Norwegian studio Funcom for the PC. First published by IQ Media Nordic in Norway in 1999, it was later localized for and released in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Canada, Spain, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, and the United States.
The game takes place in the parallel universes of Arcadia, a world of magic, and Stark, a world of science and technology. Players take on the role of April Ryan, who is called upon to restore the now unstable boundary between the two worlds.
The Longest Journey features a minimalist user interface, and places the majority of its focus on storytelling. Its use of both fantasy and science fiction elements broadened its appeal and helped to generate widespread interest in the game among the mainstream gaming audience at a time when adventure games were increasingly being forced to compete with the growth of the action and strategy genres.
The game drew praise from critics for the quality of its localizations (having been translated from Norwegian into ten different languages), but was criticized for having what some regarded as an excessive amount of dialogue (the game features almost 8,300 individual voice samples).
A sequel, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, was released on April 20, 2006.

more than half way through!
I'm getting deeper and deeper into it and loving it.
great adventure. Playing now, after 10 years, its still looks great. Awesome characters & story makes this game best quest ever, i think. But puzzles kick my ass sometimes)
One of the greatest adventure games of all time! The sequel, Dreamfall, is also stellar. I can't wait for TLJ3 to come out, it's gonna be like the new Sam and Max, episodic content, but will be just as good, I am sure.
