Get to know about Aylah!

Hello intergalactic travelers! This year we are part of the Visual Novel Festival! A Long Journey to an Uncertain End is a narrative-heavy game, with an eclectic cast of characters that accompany the player in their adventures through the vast space. While it’s not exactly a visual novel, players that enjoy visual novels will enjoy our space opera game! What drove us to create a narrative game were the inclusive themes we could explore in a game like this. The diverse crew joining the player in their journey is a great example. All our characters were inspired by people our development team has met in real life. A Long Journey to an Uncertain End is an homage to the diverse people that have influenced our lives: Today, let’s dive into one of the game’s main characters: Aylah Tress.

The second person, Kylan’s former boss, was “one of the few mentors I’ve had who really catapulted my personal and professional growth. I’d watch her navigate outright hostile work situations with a degree of empathy and shrewdness I haven’t seen since. Within all of this piercing intellect, there also seemed to be a bit of hippy, flower-power energy from somewhere long ago. This was an ardent, hopeful energy that had stood the test of time somehow.” Aylah Tress is the first human crewmember to join the player in this Long Journey. Maternal but tough, strong but caring, Aylah is a hopeful advocate for a better world. If you have not played the game yet, A Long Journey to an Uncertain End is on sale right now! You can meet Aylah and the rest of the wonderful cast that will join you as you travel through the galaxies!
