About the Game

In the not-so-distant future, humanity pushes deeper into the unknown reaches of space.

During a routine exploration mission, you become stranded after missing the only ship that could bring you home.

Alone, adrift, and running out of options—can you find your way back before it’s too late?

  • The Long Way Home is a game where your goal is to safely return to Earth from a distant starting planet.

  • The journey can be perilous, shaped by comets and powerful gravitational fields in space.

  • Using only the mouse, control the gas to push and pull the player, and guide them safely back to their destination.
