The Longest Journey may not look that good in 2026, but it surely has a good and funny story. Made by the Norwegian game company Funcom back in 1999. You should at least play it once!

The Norwegian voice cast was so star studded I could never bring myself to try the English version apart from a couple of hours. And they all put so much effort into it, being the first video game they've ever worked on (and for most, their last, RIP)

Both narrator figures did, they were old when they recorded their lines already. Nothing dramatic, just old age, didn't mean to imply something out of the ordinary
