The Journey Down - low res prototype

theowaern |

This is the free low-res, no-speech prototype of the coming HD point-n-click game of the same title. The Journey Down is a classical point and click adventure game, full to the brim with puzzles, conspiracies, mystery and adventure! In chapter 1 "Over the Edge" we follow Bwana and his trusted sidekick Kito, as they struggle to make ends meet at their waterfront gas station in an off-beat place called Kingsport bay. When all hope seems lost and the power company is on their case with a mean threat, something promising appears. A woman. A woman with cash. What strings does she come attached with? What secrets are hiding underneath her fair surface? Find out, in chapter one of The Journey Down!
