At this year’s D.I.C.E. Summit, Jenova Chen gave quite an amazing talk on Journey’s development and philosophies. The topics he discuss range from how terrible the original game was, to the parallels between the Monomyth and the Three Act Structure of most modern movies. He also brings into light some of the struggles That Game Company faced forging the feeling of companionship that is so refined within Journey. The entire video is fascinating and required...

At CES 2012 I was able to get sometime...
Journey is the third game from Thatgamecompany and is on par with the uniqueness and subtle craziness that we have come to expect from them. Your character is a nameless cloth person with no distinct featured other than, well, being made of cloth.
