Weird games have a weird effect on people. Normally, gamers can’t put together an Internet sentence without emanating some serious psycho vibes but games like Journey compel them to type out words like “beautiful” and “wondrous” and “art” and all that other vocabulary they only use while stoned. All of the sudden, they become these intellectual connoisseurs of all things sentimental, analyzing the stink out of every detail of this “amazing journey”. In the meanwhile, I’ve been really scratching my head thinking “Am I the only one who sees this?!”
Shaz from GL: "The way Journey evokes emotions through its narrative without using traditional storytelling methods is something no game has been able to replicate."
The composer behind Journey, Austin Wintory, recently had a chance to revisit the classic game, just in time for its tenth anniversary.
My fav indie game ever, played this on ps4 and ps5. Too bad it does not have a plat trophy.
Jenova Chen told us about the development of the game.
