THE LONG ROAD AHEAD is about Great Journeys and Great Sacrifices. Take on the role of wanderers embarking on an epic quest. The Road along which you travel cuts through a world of miraculous wonders, ancient mystery, unrelenting terrors & quiet beauty. A world worth saving.
The logo for the fantasy adventure game "The Long Road Ahead", with the game's subtitle "A Game About Great Journeys and Great Sacrifices". The illustration features retro-style pixel art of four adventurers looking out over a vast landscape. In the foreground, two of the figures seem to be conversing or contemplating while the other two are busy climbing the head of a collapsed statue. Three of the characters are dressed in "genre-typical" fantasy garb, while the one who sits atop the statue's great stone head wears jeans and a backpack, implying they might be from the same world we inhabit. The road before our adventurers stretches far into the distance, where we can see the land itself extending out into the sky. This world is a ring, the road continues forever without end.
