The Long Journey Home [official site] is a game about being lost in space and being somewhat insignificant against a backdrop of elder species who aren t quite sure what to make of these squishy bipedal nomads called humans. It s tempting to describe the game by breaking down the list of ingredients that appear to have gone into its preparation. There s a dollop of FTL, a pinch of Captain Blood, a healthy dose of Star Control and a little bit of Space Rangers 2. Season with the essence of Thrust and Lander, and there you have it.
Except, no. That s not really it at all.
