Ugh, this game is so amazing, that it feels like you might burst if you don't talk about it, so here we go. XD

Even the music by itself is enough to make me bubble (tear up). It's just something that stirs up a lot of emotion as you play through it with your companion(s). There seems to be very few people who didn't enjoy this beautiful game, so if you didn't download it already, then I suggest you go do that.

Seriously couldn't recommend it enough. I've played several hundred different games in my time, easily 300+ and this one is possibly my favorite of them all after just around a week of buying it (did finish it nine times now, though).


I know nobody else here has it yet, but hopefully somebody else will wanna talk about it anyways. :lol:


Here are links to two of the tracks. You should at least do yourself a favour by giving the amazingly beautiful music a chance if you can't get the game.

Yesterday somebody managed to show me how to make yourself fall over (even though you can't talk). Your cloak goes over your head when you're laying there. Seem the creatures you play as are made of some sort of material under there. It's kinda odd, but cute.

Itunes is gonna have the soundtrack on sale the 18th or so of this month. I'm waiting for my chance to get it. Got to do something with all these iTunes gift cards, you know?

Other than that, I haven't gotten a chance to play it... :( But I love the designs of the "journeyers".

Since you've played it so much, have you got the

Thou hast got to get it, Dodie. First chance possible. You'll love it so much. Then there will be somebody for me to go on and on about it to without being annoying as well. :lol:

Getting the soundtrack is definitely a good pick with dem vouchers.

You can get a few free tracks off the artists website if you put in your email. They're all special versions of the music though. But maybe you'll be interested anyway, I dunno. :p

Of course! Got it on my second or third playthrough. :> It's pretty cool, dunno if you know already, but your scarf recharges as soon as you hit the ground with a white cloak. Plus it just looks prettier. <3


Saw a pretty cool Journey cosplay. Pretty cute that they're so short too. It would be too cute if there was two of them. >////<

One of the nicest things is when you finally learn the other players ID at the end and you can mail them. Had the best journey so far last night, but it was with a Japanese player, so I wasn't expecting a response, let alone one I could understand. But this morning I had a message from them waiting for me in English, heehee. <3

I love that cosplay! If I saw that person, I'd probably wanna take 'em home with me. ^^ Probably too old to be adopted....oh well. And yeah, needs another person with them, but overall it's a good costume. Love how the eyes really pop.

Aw, white cloak is Overpowered cloak. :P I kid... I bet the people that travel with you are like "WHOAAAA! This one has a white cloak...better stay with them! Because they are the MASTER!" :D

Have you messaged any of the people that you journeyed with?

Hahaha. :lol: Hmm...yeah...wonder how the heck they managed to get the eyes like that? It really looks as though they're glowing. Could just be Photoshop, of course. >_<

Hahaha, some people are very much like that, especially if you show them where some of the hidden stuff is. Suddenly they become your shadow/start to copy your every move. It's kinda cute. xD
Today was weird on Journey though. None of the people I met were very talkative/chirpy.

Yes, I messaged the people that were nice to play with, thanking them for the pleasant journey. Messaged the person from last night, that's how I got to see their profile. Their only listed language was Japanese, but their English is good, phew. They're a white cloak as well, but they glued to me even more firmly than any red cloak. They were adorable. XD


What do you think the chances are you'll be able to get Journey for yourself? :>

PHOTOSHOOOOOP! :scream: Just messin'. I don't know what they could have done either...unless they had some kind of something that reflect a bit of the light?

Aww... Maybe the excitement is dying down for a lot of people? Or maybe they just had a case of the "mondays". It is the worst day of the week...

That was nice of you. :3 I bet that made them feel good to get a nice message like that from almost out of the blue.

I dunno... I'd say pretty slim... :(

Whatever it is, it's kinda freakishly effective. Maybe they really are one of those creatures. Doesn't really look reflective, but you just never know, huh?

Could be...oh! It is a bank holiday. Everybody hates those.

Thanks. ^//^

Aww...if you still don't have it by your birthday then maybe I, or somebody else will buy it for you. Should be nice and cheap by then. :P

Everybody should get to experience it, for me it is proving some-what life altering. After a while it seems to get to to start thinking about things. It's really fascinating just how much you can communicate without speech, yeah...a large portion of communication is done via body language, but you don't even have your body in this game. Yet you can always get a feel for the other players moods somehow.

It seemed interesting to me, anyway. :sweat:

There's also the whole feeling where it's like you've made a real 'connection' with some of the travelers and new friends. Honestly, if you're feeling lonely it seems like a really good time to go and play Journey (should you have no other options available to you for whatever reason), it's hard to feel lonely when you can easily find a decent 'companion' pretty much any time you like. :>

The cutie pies that try and snuggle up to you as much as possible are clearly the best for this. It's funny how in society today most people are kinda afraid to touch each other becuase, well...the other person might think you're up to some kinda funny business, right? Touching has been made to seem like it's pretty much always a sexual thing for some reason...but in the game most people will try to stay at least relatively close to you.

It's sad when you think about it. Society has become so paranoid and touch-starved that some people will actually pay other to touch them (massage/therapy).



Anyway, better stop there before I really start to dribble on and on. XD
