Introduction
Between science and magic, between order and chaos, between Stark and Arcadia, there is
an ancient Balance. For thousands of years, this Balance has weighed the scales of the
cosmos evenly, ensuring harmony between the twin worlds.
But now, in an age of great turmoil, Chaos threatens to turn the scales and bring our most
terrifying dreams to life.
The Guardian of the Balance has abandoned his throne...
The armies of the Vanguard are advancing...
A storm is coming...
And the fate of worlds is in the hands of one person.
Her name is April. She is a Shifter. The power to walk between worlds is within her grasp,
and her destiny is foretold in a hundred tales. But the tides of Chaos gain momentum
with every passing second, and those who would be gods will not stand idly by. How, then,
can one person prevail against impossible odds?
April's future is shrouded in a veil of mystery, the path ahead treacherous and winding,
and her journey will carry her not only through the twin worlds of science and magic, but
also into her own heart and soul.
This is the longest journey of them all.

The Longest Journey
The Longest Journey
is an adventure game. There are no guns to shoot, no explosives
to set off, no monsters to... Uh, hold on, there are monsters. But unlike most games, in
The Longest Journey
your most potent weapon and your greatest asset is your brain.
Adventure games are all about solving puzzles, exploring new worlds, meeting and talking
to strange creatures both friendly and not quite so friendly, and about figuring how the
heck you're going to get out of the jam you've got yourself into this time.
April Ryan, the protagonist of
The Longest Journey
(and your alter ego in the game),
can't die. We believe it's very frustrating for the player to spend hours solving a puzzle
only to have a piano dropped on her head when she pushes the wrong lever. But this does-
n't mean the game isn't challenging. It just means that, whatever you do, right or wrong,
you don't have to worry about being punished. Games are supposed to be
fun,
not aggra-
vating.
If this is your first time playing an adventure game, good luck! You're in for a treat, and
probably a totally different gaming experience from what you're used to. If you ever get
stuck, take some time out to just look around, experiment with the items in your invento-
ry, talk to people. You may also want to check out the chapter of this manual called "Walk-
Through". Not only does it contain a detailed explanation on how to get through the
Prologue, it also has a few helpful pointers that may get you back on the right track where-
ver you're stuck.
If you
have
played adventure games in the past you probably know what to expect. Or at
least you
think
you know what to expect. Well, good luck to you too.
The Longest
Journey
has quite a few surprises hidden up its sleeves. And while the interface and play
mechanisms will probably be familiar to you, it's still a good idea to read through this
manual thoroughly before playing.
Whoever you are, and whatever your past experience with adventure games, we'd love to
hear back from you with comments and criticisms regarding this game. We're always stri-
ving to make better games, and we can only do so with your assistance. You can find
contact information in the back of this manual.
Thanks for purchasing
The Longest Journey.
And, as the denizens of Arcadia would tell
you, may the Balance protect you and provide you on your journey.
