The Journey Home (2016)

The Journey Home is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this "art experience". Instead of being a game, The Journey Home is a software application that presents a poorly made art exhibition. This is an attempt to make a VR movie with some of the worst writing and voice acting to ever be inflicted on Steam, and it's not even a game.

We get this non-game shovelware on Steam whenever your usual Starbucks barista/McDonalds frycook art school dropout finally gets a restraining order from the local art galleries so turns to Steam Direct to try get their art published somewhere so they can finally dream of moving out of their parents basement.

Игра «The Journey Home» — это атмосферная приключенческая история о поиске родного дома. Графика вдохновленна анимацией, а сюжет затрагивает темы семейства и утрат.

Подойдет любителям медленных, размышлений, но не для поклонников динамичных приключений.
