The Journey Down is an episodic adventure video game for Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and iOS by Skygoblin. An Android version is currently in development.
The Journey Down: Chapter One was based on a low-resolution freeware adventure game, called The Journey Down: Over the Edge.The Journey Down: Chapter One improves on the freeware version with high definition graphics, full voiceovers, plus some additional locations and puzzles. The rest of the chapters will be presented in the high definition style of the commercial remake of Chapter One.
The game is going to be released in chapters. There will be three chapters in total.
A pair of mobsters storm the office of a university professor only to find the professor missing. The trail eventually leads to the waterfront Gas 'n' Charter, which has been run by Bwana and Kito ever since they were mysteriously abandoned by their adoptive father. When given the opportunity to help a young woman named Lina, the pair jump at the chance, as they are seriously behind on their electric bills. Lina is seeking a lost book that may hold the illegal secret to reaching the Underland. Unfortunately, their airplane hasn't been flown in years, and will need a variety of parts and repairs in order to take off.
The group heads to the gloomy, mist shrouded town of Port Artue. Upon arrival, the trio find themselves confronted by local police. Bwana and Kito are thrown in jail, and Lina is taken away by the police chief. Bwana and Kito then attempt to find a way to escape from prison, find Lina, and attempt to discover how their adoptive father was connected to the mystery of the Underland.
The low definition freeware version of The Journey Down: Over the Edge was released in 2010. The commercial high definition remake of The Journey Down: Chapter One was originally scheduled to be released in March 2012, but the release was pushed back to May 2012. The first chapter was included in the Indie Royale summer bundle in June 2012. The second chapter was released for Windows, Mac, Linux, and iOS simultaneously in August 2014.
On October 1, 2015 a Kickstarter campaign was started to raise funding for the third chapter of The Journey Down (with a goal of about 32.000 Euro).
