Journey

Journey is a third-person adventure game in which the player, controlling a robed figure, makes a pilgrimage through a desert landscape to a rugged mountain with a beacon of light in the distance. Along the way the player uncovers the history of their people, rescues and cooperates with friendly creatures, avoids predatory ones and communicates with other travelers. The player soars above ruins and glides across sands to discover the secrets of an ancient, mysterious world. The game can be played alone or in the company of a fellow traveler, and the two explore the world together. Other travelers join and leave over the network without a menu, and communication is limited to calls and the figure's glowing scarf, since there is no text or voice chat. The scarf recharges from cloth and floating symbols found in the level, which lets the figure leap and fly for a short time. There are no enemies to fight with weapons. Progress comes from moving through the landscape, finding the next landmark and working with the traveler nearby. The game supports a gamepad, a full controller setup and Steam Cloud saves.
