The Journey Down has returned to our Linux gaming boxes with the promise of more pointing and clicking. With zero negative reviews so far on Steam it does seem like it's a hit.

If you like point & click adventure games then you should really give this series a go. The production values are pretty high and the graphics are really quite crisp. It's good to see these types of games make a come back, and especially when they are this good.
The developers are pretty good guys too, as they actually used a ton of their pre-order money towards building a school:
The TJD2 pre-order campaign raised $4,213.81, exactly half of which will go to the construction of Mavuno Secondary School in Tanzania. :D

I totally agree, flesk. Chapter 2 feels like such a leap beyond the first chapter (which was already good to begin with) in terms of structure and execution. It's a worthy successor which raises the bar on all levels and I can't wait to see where it goes from here :D
