Description

I recommend playing 'Journey' by ThatGameCompany. It's playable within one lonely hour, but has the world in it. :iconloveloveplz:
Sadly I don't possess a PS3 nor I think it would be connected to internet if I had one.
However I watched a Walkthrough from SnakerPace on youtube.com, and it's very sweet one,
because in the middle of the game this gamer gets a companion that sticks till the bittersweet end.

What truly captured me with this game is not only the gorgeous soundtrack (go listen to it!)
or the good-flowing animations of the game (I especially love the flying!!),
but also the imprinting simple character design (after just vaguely looking the walkthrough, I was able to draw them almost accurately)
and - last but not least - the interaction between player.
There's no speech in the whole game, so you have to express yourself through action.
And you're starting to get attached to your companion, you're looking after him and you're sad if he suddenly leaves the game.
You form a bond with them, although you don't know them and you probably never will.
And the game itself as well... what is the purpose of the game if in the end you die and travel back to the start?


The game is deep, much deeper than normal games probably could get.
No speech, no explaining, only history and visual signs and a goal to achieve.

The companion is everything you need.

The Red Cloaks (or however they're called) belong to ThatGameCompany.
Art is done by me, please do not steal.

If you want to tell story, to share the feelings of wonder and awe you have experienced, to show others what you have seen, you may discover hidden talents.

Expressing how you feel with the use of art, shows your love for Journey, not only as a video game, but also as a piece of art. While may will say that Art Games are walking simulators showing off ramdon stuff, vaguely story and saying that it is "Art".

Journey is Art and it does tell a story, your story, everyone who played this game has his own unique experiences and heart-rending stories to tell. While many poeple have play the same game, walked the same path, but it is their stories, their journeys are all different, each unique and emotional.

Like the old saying goes; the Journey more Important than Destination.

If you so inspired by art, may it be a statue, a painting, a book, a movie or even a video game, and you put you heart and soul into it than you will creat your onw piece of art.

In other words; it looks great, you got potential. Keep up the Good work.
