The Journey Down: Chapter One is a point and click adventure game where you play as Bwana, who runs a struggling gas station with his brother Kito. They find themselves on an adventure when a scholar named Lina arrives, looking for information about the mysterious Underland.
This is really only the beginning of the story, so we only get introduced to the characters and the premise. Bwana is funny and likeable, and while we spend less time with Kito and Lina they seem likeable as well, and the group seems to have a fun dynamic. The story at this point gives us a lot of questions. What is the Underland and why is the Armando Power Company so keen to keep everyone away from it? Why did Bwana and Kito's father leave behind information about the Underland, and did it have anything to do with his disappearance? There are no answers yet but it's a compelling beginning.
Gameplay involves exploring the town and solving puzzles. The puzzles didn't totally hold your hand but were definitely on the easy side. There were a couple of places where I had to backtrack because I overlooked something small, and one place where I got a stuck because I didn't realize you could walk to part of the screen, but other than that, everything was pretty straightforward.
I really liked the soundtrack and the art style. The backgrounds are hand-drawn and look really nice. The characters and all the animated objects in the game are 3D. The 3D elements sometimes looked a little odd with the flat background. The characters designs are really cool; giving Grim Fandango vibes but taking inspiration from African masks. The voices aren't lip-synced at all, which was a little jarring at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly. The soundtrack has jazz and reggae influences, which went well with the setting and was nice to listen to.
The Journey Down: Chapter One isn't a complete game, but is a really solid beginning. Although it was fairly short, I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the next two chapters. 8/10
