The Longest Journey (Norwegian: Den lengste reisen) is a point-and-click adventure game developed for the PC by Norwegian studio Funcom. First published by IQ Media Nordic in Norway in 1999, it was later localized for and released in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada, Spain, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, and the United States. The game was originally written and recorded in English, though most of the localizations were released before the English version.
The game drew praise from critics for the protagonist April Ryan, considered one of the most memorable female characters in the history of adventure games, and also for its enigmatic, complex storyline and high production values, but was criticized for some of its more obscure puzzles.
A sequel, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, was released on April 20, 2006.
In October 2011, it was announced that The Longest Journey was being ported to iOS, with the article mainly focusing on the iPhone.

Famous quotes containing the word longest:
“The longest day must have its close—the gloomiest night will wear on to a morning. An eternal, inexorable lapse of moments is ever hurrying the day of the evil to an eternal night, and the night of the just to an eternal day.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
