A Long Journey to an Uncertain Endis an upcoming strategy management game from recently-founded studio Crispy Creative.
Whats interesting aboutALJis that its essentially a queer video game.
Crispy Creative describes it as radically inclusive.
I say itsessentiallya queer video game because I think calling it that relegates it to undeserved nichedom.
Calling it a queer game is like callingHaloa game that makes good use of the color green.
Youre not wrong, but its not necessarily the most important takeaway.

Even in the early demo I played, the talent level was evident.
Its already a polished, engaging game and its sure to get better as development continues.
The story inALJis funny, clever, and poignant.
Youll spend your time in game managing your diverse crew and trying to avoid your abusive ex.
This isnt the biggest game coming out this year, but it might be the most fun.
And the music, composed by Jesse Myers according tothis page, is absolutely fantastic.
The ambient, chill soundscapes inALJwould be perfectly at home inJet Set Radioor aPersonagame.
I definitely got some ramen shop vibes while clicking through the games menus.
Finally, the gameplay is stellar.
The writing is simply fantastic.
To harken to my earlier point, this isnt just a game for queer people.
Its a game about people who are, for the most part, queer.
According to the page, the developers currently expect to release it in November.
