Voyage, the debut game from Swedish sibling duo Venturous, is out today on PC and available for purchase on Steam.
Described as a ‘cinematic adventure game,’ Voyage drops players in an alien world to trudge a pair of survivors through arresting landscapes, unearthing ruins, and unraveling mysteries, with the ultimate aim of finding a way back home. Free of combat and leveraging its hand-drawn art, Voyage uses the environment to tell its story in what Venturous calls a ‘wordless narrative.’
Voyage has something of Thunder Lotus Games’ enviable output, if only in its carefully curated aesthetic. There’s also a smattering of the blind exploration of Mobius Digital’s stellar Outer Wilds and the timeless blueprint for affecting video games, Journey. Whether intentional or not, the two titles share a thematic. This may point to where Venturous drew some of the inspiration for their freshman effort.
