Description official descriptions

Voyage is a point-and-click adventure inspired by Jules Verne's two novels From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon. But unlike those two books, the main character actually makes it to the moon surface, although his two companions do not survive the trip.

As the game begins, Michel Ardan explores the space capsule in which he and his co-travellers arrived. The time period is the early 20th century and the interior of the capsule is depicted with plush velvet cushions, brass details and gadgets derived from the science of the time. Eventually, after discovering the cause of his companions' deaths, Michel can leave the capsule and explore the moon. Strange landscapes and unusual creatures and beings await him.

Eventually Michel will discover Selenite City, home of the Selenites, an ancient and highly intelligent lunar race. With each step of the journey, questions arise as to the fate of the Selenite people. Did they deteriorate, like so many of the statues they left behind? Did they leave the surface to seek refuge in the center of the moon? Once players answer these questions, they may find their way back to Earth with news of their fantastic discoveries.

Intermixed into the storyline are various types of puzzles that involve logic and deduction. Communications and finding important inventory objects to use are included in the puzzle mix. You'll also find several puzzles based upon sound and music. Learning an alien language also comes into play. As you discover new things and solve the various challenges, you'll receive points that increase Michel's IQ. As that IQ rises, more complicated solutions become available, supposedly adding to the replay value of the game.

Original adventure freely inspired from Jules Verne

The Good
You discover little by little an interesting story with a classic-style humor.

The graphics are rich and you have sometimes different ways to solve the puzzles.

The puzzles involves some chemistry and physics knowledge, but at a very basic level.

The Bad
Some puzzles aren't at all intuitive so you can spend a lot of time running in circles.

The Bottom Line
This Journey to the Moon is only inspired by the Jules Verne work, the story being totally different from the original novels. But the game tries to keep the feeling of a 19th-century adventure.

I liked this game, it's not very difficult compared to the Myst-like games but it's more complex than the regular point-and-click adventure game.

Some puzzles are even time-limited or asks you to perform some jumping or catching, but you can't lose lives, you simply restart the puzzle. Anyway, it's a good idea to save often as you can try other ways for solving some difficult situations. Many puzzles can be solved in different ways and that’s giving the game some replay value and a non-linear path. This is quite rare in the adventure game world.

You start into the space capsule (well, the cannon bullet imagined by Jules Verne) with your two (dead) companions. Eventually you’ll land on the moon, not after taking some difficult decisions.

From this point the story becomes totally different from what Jules Verne imagined. You'll find strange plants that will be the main objects that you'll use for surpass the challenges that will permit you to go back to the Earth.

On the Moon there are even some strange beings, that aren't very strange with the Earth's human civilization. They seem to have a very low esteem on humans and it's up to you to change that opinion.

So, the story is quite rich and the ending is surprising. The graphics are good and there aren’t major bugs. I will recommend this game to any adventure fan, especially if you can find it at a special price. It's good for kids, too. But can be very difficult for those under 10.
