A Long Journey [v0.8.1] By Marvellous Lunatic

Marvellous Lunatic Games released a new game called A Long Journey and the version is 0.8.1. The game’s story is about It is 2048. Life on Earth for humankind continues on a downward spiral. The people live in dangerous, cramped megacities as the environment degrades around them. Backed by government forces, the giant Hawkink Tech corporation has completed the first colony ships and launched them towards distant habitable planets.

MC is a bright young software engineer who has chosen to risk his life as a colonist in order to escape the dying earth and follow his dream of building a new society. But something goes wrong, and he wakes from cryo-sleep too early, finding himself alone on the giant empty ship as it hurtles through the void. Soon he learns he is not the only one awake when he meets another person, a beautiful young woman with flaming red hair. She is angry and damaged from already spending many months awake and alone. Can they work together to find a way out of their trap? Or is there more to the situation it first appears…

Important for Android

• If you get the “App not installed” error you need to uninstall the old version. BEFORE you probably need to backup your user data. It should be located here:
• storage:/Android/data/com.MarvellousLunatic.ALongJourney/files/userData
• After installing you need to paste it there again. I haven’t had the time to investigate it further at the moment but I’ll pick it up again and check why it can’t be replaced like the last times.

Developer Notes:

ABOUT THE GAME-PLAY

This game is a visual novel / sandbox. The first act will be quite linear and more in a visual novel style with only minor choices and with the second act, there will be more sandbox-elements and more dating sim elements.
The MC didn’t go alone on his journey but has a few companions (relation is configurable).
There will be some Mini-Games, but no grinding. I know there are people who don’t like mini-games in such games so they will be skippable with ‘cheats’.

ABOUT THE ENGINE AND FEATURES

The game is written in Unity but will feel very much like renpy. You may ask why not renpy then. Simple reason, I already knew Unity and C# and thought it would be easier for me.
