The Longest Journey is one of the games that will slowly draw you in until you can't escape. The beginning of the game starts off a little slow. You are put in the body of Aprii Ryan, an 18 year old art student without direction and vision. You get aquatinted with her and learn how her everyday life plays out. As this happens you notice strange phenomena around you. Eventually you investigate and inevitably get pulled in to an unknown power struggle of control of two parallel worlds. As April you are aware of all her thoughts and feelings, which guide you though the long and enveloping storyline.

Every character in The Longest Journey is voice acted. This definitely adds to the value and the characters in the game. Every character in TLJ seems to have been given their own background and unique personality, no matter how insignificant they are.

The game play its self is rather simple. Like most Click and Move Adventure games you move your character around, collect items, and solve puzzles. Many of the puzzles are intermediate in difficulty, and some are somewhat difficult. The puzzles are challenging and will keep you entertained

The Longest Journey is a long game. It will take about 30 hours to complete. This is good, although as long as it is you'll be sad its over in the end.

The Longest Journey currently has a sequel, Dreamfall. I highly recommend playing it after the TLJ
