help The Longest Journey FAQ
Who is April Ryan in The Longest Journey?
April Ryan is an art student in Newport who discovers she can move between Stark, a technology-driven world, and Arcadia, a magical one. She is the protagonist of Funcom's 1999 adventure game.
Is The Longest Journey a Norwegian or Swedish game?
The Longest Journey was developed by Funcom, a Norwegian studio, with Ragnar Tornquist as its writer and director. The game is often discussed as a major European point-and-click adventure from the late 1990s.
Do you need to play The Longest Journey before Dreamfall?
It helps a lot. Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, released in 2006 for Windows and Xbox, continues the setting of Stark and Arcadia and brings April Ryan back alongside new leads like Zoe Castillo.
Why is The Longest Journey important for LGBTQ+ representation?
The game includes Fiona and Mickey, a lesbian couple connected to April's life in Newport. For a major story-driven PC adventure released around 1999, that kind of casual LGBTQ+ presence was still unusual.
