We first talked about Voyageur [$3.99] in June of last year, as its description as a "literary space exploration game" and "procedurally-generated science fiction novel" really caught our attention. We also found it interesting that Voyageur was part of the Fundbetter initiative put together by Fallen London [Free] developer Failbetter Games. If the masters of narrative and literary games at Failbetter were also backing an indie literary space adventure, well, it seemed like nothing but good could come from that. And as of just a few moments ago, we can finally find out for ourselves as Voyageur has officially released in the App Store.
Your job in Voyageur is to assemble a crew and use the strange alien technology called the Descent Device to travel from star to star, ultimately ending up in the very center of the galaxy. The alien technology has a huge caveat, though: It only goes one way. Even though you'll never return to the world you've known, you can't help but take the one-way trip in an effort to explore the unexplored and find out answers to the questions of the universe, including who the heck invented the Descent Device in the first place. It sounds like a nearly endless amount of adventures are waiting to be had in Voyageur, so if you're into literary games like the aforementioned Fallen London, 80 Days, or the Sorcery! series, give it a shot and then feel free to share your impressions with the community in our forums.
