About the Game

A little boy, in a beautiful world. Why is he here? How did he come here? This is the story of Anish, as he finds himself lost in an unknown world. He does not know where he is, and also seems to have forgotten who he himself is. It is now up to you to help him rediscover his story, and in doing so, help him recover from something dark. Venture through breathtaking environments, engage in unique gameplay and experience the enchanting soundtracks in The Long Road Home.

Note: This game is currently in its early access Alpha version containing the first 2 Days of the 4-Day experience. Final release is scheduled to be in January, 2025, although this might change later down the line.


  • No Clunky UI: Minimalistic UI design and full-screened, no obstruction gameplay ensures maximum immersion.
  • Beautiful Worlds: Explore through lush forests, flowery meadows and foggy nights along your path.
  • Stunning Music: Experience everything from uplifting guitar music to uncanny piano tunes.




  • Why is Anish in this mysterious world? How did he get here? Why does everything feel so weird? There is an answer for these all. Not a single thing in the game is unrelated to the story at large, including collectables and easter eggs.
  • Help Anish reach his home through an environment that gets progressively darker and more thrilling, and in the process discover something eerie and dark.


  • Collect material and craft items to unlock chapters and chests.
  • Build your campsite each night, by venturing into the dangerous night and collecting materials.




  • Branching Storyline: Toward the end of the game, the storyline may branch and you may have to play wisely to get the best ending.
  • Organic Choices: No pop-up choices or dialogue. Your destiny is defined by how you play, your actions and where you go.
