Journey: The Quest Begins
Part I of the Golden Age Trilogy
Have you mettle enough to make siege on the Dread Lord himself? ...We shall see.
If you've been spellbound by a fantasy story, captivated by a role playing game,
or enthralled by interactive fiction, Journey will rouse your imagination to new heights.
Join us in our Journey. Travel beyond the known boundaries of interactive software into a new
world of computer storytelling. Marc Blank -- the pioneering co-author of the enormously popular
Zork and Enchanter trilogies -- weaves a fabuous tale of great adventure, drawing from the
highest art of storytelling and the excitement of role playing games to create a fascinating
new kind of computer entertainment.
In Journey, you become part of a mesmerizing epic created in the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien's The
Lord of the Rings. For five long years, failed crops, tainted water, and sickness have blighted a
peaceful land. Brave villagers have set forth to find relief for their suffering region, but none
have returned. Now, yet another small band is preparing to begin the odyssey. You'll share the
adventures of Tag, Praxix, Bergon, Esher, and Minar as they solve puzzles, overcome obstacles,
explore unknown lands.
Pass into the world of Journey with ease. The game is simple to learn, your challenge lies in
choosing the right path, casting the best spell, and knowing whether to lie or tell the truth.
Your imagination will be taxed ore and more with each passing day as the difficulties become
increasingly complex.
As the tale unfolds, you become acquainted with the characters and their personalities. Each
character acts on his own, sometimes advancing the quest, sometimes hindering it. You help them
decide where to explore and what actions to take, taking part in their strategies and problem-
solving.
The intrigue of a masterfully told story. The thrill of being a part of a great adventure. The
challenge of leading the tale to its climactic conclusion. This is what makes Journey a uniquely
compelling entertainment.
