About the game
A thoughtful and deeply personal title with stripped-down mechanics. The lack of dialogue or text allows you to create your own narrative through your time with four characters. Each short story will allow players to be swept away by the haunting lyrics of over twenty original, nostalgic songs.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, Intel UHD 630, Geforce GTX 275, Quadro 2000D or equivalent, 502 MB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $2.49, set in April 2025. 48 discounts in the 5 years on record, a median of 65 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart.
On value it sits in the top 21 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 64 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 61 percent. Duck Detective: The Secret Salami ($9.99, scores 74) outscores it, and so does Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping ($9.99, scores 77). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
This is...tough to review. Look, what if I told you that there was a piece of media designed to convey the tedium/monotony of the daily grind, from a variety of perspectives. In order for it to be successful, it would have to illustrate how boring and soul-crushing some of the routines of life can be. The problem is (naturally!) that that means the game itself must be pretty damned tedious itself. Which isn't fun...

At this point im convinced that the Brainwash Gang wanted to make movies/animation, not games. But making movies is expensive and they settled for gamedev. Their visuals and music are great, gameplay is boring or tedious. Longest Road on Earth plays exactly as the name sounds - long holding of Left/Right, spamming space (sometimes even holding space!), that's it. The most exciting part about the game was cool 3d...
Well. I usually don't cry. And i usually don't review games. But this, for sure is not a usual videogame. I would argue that this is also NOT a video game, but this is about definitions. Now if you want a game, that's not it. But if you want to experience a story, a long one, you are in the right place. It is a story, it is an interactive movie, that you get to watch while pressing one or in the best case two...
