About Big Journey to Home

Welcome to the world of adventures!


 
You play as Jake, a simple guy who accidently got into trouble. What will happen to him, how he will behave, will he get home or not, all that depends on you. You will encounter a variety of creatures along your way, from roaches to huge scorpions, lizards and even small hamsters! Apart from living beings, you will see a variety of complex mechanisms. To overcome snow, forests, deserts and underground areas, you will require a good weapon. Though you already have that - a well-sharpened blade that will slice (almost) every monster.
The game requires you to plan every step, so that monsters won't have you for dinner. However, if you stand still, the monsters won't touch you. The "Hardcore" mode won't let you sleep, though, it will require your full attention.
If a friend of yours keeps bothering you, you can play a separate story about Jake and his brother together. You can walk through the same far-away places and see the same monsters, however, they will behave differently. If your friend gets lost, you will be able to show him where to go using the built-in chat and marker.
The game has an achievement system - try to unlock them all! If you want to stay in this unusual world, you can extend the fun with usermade levels that people just like you can build. Thanks to the convenient level download system, you won't be leaving the game for a long time.
 

A brief history of development


 
The game was developed for the duration of five years, gradually improving. Different people contributed to the game and the development team changed over time. Some people worked on level design, some others did art. As of right now, the game has only one developer left: Vyacheslav "Silver Sword" Mironov. I have started this game and I have led it to its release.

Even with the new update. This game is very broken and unplayable! Some of the pop-up windows are in Russian and not English.

Game boots and I can mess around a bit but the UI is unbearable, I ran into bugs already on level 1-4, and when I ran into monsters I was unable to fight them because the attacks keys which I think are S,D,F do not work. I want to play the game, but for now it will be abandoned until its fixed I guess.

"Mostly Negative" seems overly harsh to me. From what I can tell based on reviews, there were various issues that have since been corrected. It may still be a little rough around the edges, but I'm liking it so far (just finished level 1) and I plan to keep playing.
