Heartwarming and simple adventure
A Long Journey to an Uncertain End is a visual novel, a simple management game, and a road trip story in a sci-fi setting. You play as a sentient AI ship running from both an abusive relationship with a human and the law. As the story progresses, there are opportunities to recruit more crew members who can be recognised by their high-quality sprites. The management part is fairly easy on the default difficulty, with the fuel, supplies, crew’s morale, and, most importantly, time being the only resources. The crew members can be sent to various jobs on the planets visited. Aside from the main story ones, the jobs felt pretty random and largely meaningless. There are 2-3 options on how to proceed during a job and usually the one that requires a skill check is the better one. The Game Over timer is ever-present and not possible to stop completely, which can be stressful, though it has never run out for me. While the setting is more or less established, there are not particularly many opportunities to interact with the crew nor do they have any side quests after the initial recruitment. It is possible to talk to them and switch between 2 very good-looking skins. The avatar, on the other hand, is significantly more customisable (including the body type but not the ship body), though the result looks a bit worse than the companions. There are dialogue options, but most of them did not feel significant to me up until the ending. The system requirements are reasonable, the settings are very limited (as the game uses mostly the mouse). The game supports the single auto-save system (+1 manual save per playthrough), so a file management system is required for the save file management. The visual and sound design are outstanding.
