Today, The Long Journey Home from German publisher Daedalic Entertainment and its in-house developer Daedalic Studio West launched onto PC accompanied by an official launch trailer.

For those that don't know: The Long Journey Home is a space exploration RPG that picks up after a short test run -- a quick flight to Alpha Centauri (mankind's first experimental jump drive) -- goes wrong, leaving a misfit crew trapped on the wrong side of the universe: alone, injured, and falling apart. The only way back home -- is through the universe.

In the game you will be exploring an endlessly shifting, procedurally generated universe, form alliances with strange aliens, from the noble Wolphax Knights to cruel-minded Ilitza slaver empire. Further, you will harness your crews skills in everything from research to archeology to diplomacy. And along the way you will have to learn the laws of an often hostile universe, and make tough decisions that may change it forever. All with one goal in mind: get back to Earth.

According to Daedalic, The Long Journey Home combines the endless freedom of space with a new open questing system that always leaves you in command. For example, do you deliever the stranded Glukkt to his homeworld as he asks, or to your new slaver friends. The choice is always yours.
