Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

A poetic and philosophical work of art about life and death

Journey is piece of art. It offers a unique kind of storytelling and a relatively easy adventure/puzzle gameplay. The story is told through environmental hints and the philosophical meaning of each section is blended into the overall audiovisual presentation. This is truly a game you should experience yourself.
