I came across this game while looking for some free adventure games and I’m very glad I decided to download it. This game is more of a story than a game, you really don’t have to do much of anything. But it is a wonderful story of life told without any words and I find it relaxing. The visuals are very calming and the music fits really well. This is definitely an experience more than a game. Introverts and visual artists will especially love this. There are parts that are louder than others (like in the teenage stage), but generally the audio is soothing and calm. Also: If you like this game, I recommend the game Lost Tracks. It’s a bit more interactive but it’s about a journey within oneself and facing anxiety. Lost Tracks has very similar visuals but they are colored, and a bit more detailed.
Overall I really enjoyed this game, and I think you will too. And if you do enjoy
Long Journey, then I recommend checking out Lost Tracks as well. I wish there were more games like this.

Moving - I will play again and again.
In fact as I walk I play. This is high art and cinema and drama as much as it is a ‘game’. The rules are simple. Always move forward. Sometimes there are helpers. Sometimes you must go back for people for them to come along. And in the end we will all reach the end of our journey. Thank you for building this.

Visual artists & introverts will love this!
A beautiful, relatable, & emotional experience that evokes all the senses. This app feels like a marriage between a movie, picture book, and game. I recommend opening the app for the first time at night, in a quiet place, with headphones on. The audio experience is just as important as the visuals! From there just go with the flow. Being the introverted & introspective type of person I am, this is very easy to appreciate and love.

Such a beautiful game!
Set sails and let the journey begin! This game is stunningly beautiful and relaxing. The music is amazing and the graphics are unique and refreshing; along with its simple gameplay this story allows you to interprete life and your journey through it using clever metaphors that will keep you thinking on this blissful quest through out life's ocean. Replay value is guaranteed for this one.

Most thoughtful art piece
This is a gorgeous artwork. It let you recollect the precious gifts along the path you are coming from and prepare you for the road ahead. It's like a meditation of your life. Take a deep breath and set aside your busy daily routine and start this long journey. You will discover more than you would imagine.

Don't play this game if you cry easily
I would call this the most inspiring game I've ever experienced. After my husband and I played the game we realized life is such a long journey full of love and joy. We would definitely recommend every couple or family to play it together

Long journey
Was easy going, quiet, nice, but when I tried to download it and re-install it, it only gives me a little box in the upper left corner of my iPad. Needless to say, I am somewhat disappointed. I tried to erase it and d/l it 3 different times to no avail. Sad sad me....

Kinda boring
Ok, and I know someone’s mad at me for this, but this game is boring. I was done in like 20 minutes and I don’t know if this is supposed to be sad or something but it’s not, it took the smallest amount of time, and I was still left waiting for something at least a bit sad. Also I don’t think the music is all it’s cracked up to be. But I do like the boat idea, so I’ll say it has potential.

It was a such beautiful and sad story
This explain us to enjoy last time. Life short to realize that. There are so many problems we faced to it. This game are telling us life too short. I end up tears when the game said death. Farewell.

Nice music but probably not worth the purchase
After reading the initial reviews I was immediately interested in trying this app. Although it did lull me into some level of deep thought and reflection the quality of the app itself was not worth the purchase. As I mentioned in the title the music was very nice and did add to some of the experience. I'm just glad I didn't spend the $3 many others did.
