The Journey Down is three chapters long, with each chapter playing out over its own distinct game. The story is centered around Bwana, a lovable goofball of a gas attendant and sort of “pilot” who gets swept up in a conspiracy laden race to find a book with his adopted brother Kito. Solid writing and an excellent soundtrack stands out in chapter 1, but the location, and the pace of the story are much more improved in the second. It’s in the second chapter that you really become invested in the well being of Bwana and with each new revelation, more committed to seeing the story through. The final chapter doesn’t disappoint, continuing along with strong writing and a perfectly paced conclusion to the story. It does a wonderful job of not only introducing a few new characters that are interesting, but circles back to some old favourites from earlier on. Again, the puzzles are tricky enough to make you think but still manage to avoid frustrating you with counter-intuitive solutions.
