Why part of SLG catalog:

AT SLG we always try to deliver a diverse library of video games, if the occasion arises. And what game would be more perfect than The Journey Down? It not only is an inspired effort by an indie developer, but manages to surprise with its fresh Afro-Caribbean setting and striking character designs inspired by real mask crafted by indigenous African artisans. The backgrounds are hand drawn and also draw inspiration from a variety of sources such as obviously real cities such as Kingston, but also movies like the Maltese Falcons and even Blade Runner. The music fits the Caribbeanflair with its jazzy vibes and really puts you in the mood. Combined with the gameplay and humor, inspired by adventure games in the vein as Lucas Arts’ classics and the top-notch voice acting, which features voice actors that have matching backgrounds to their characters, this was an opportunity that we couldn’t pass up.
