This was a game I was introduced to a little while ago, but I've never gotten the chance to play first-hand, since I don't have a compatible phone.
Anyhoo, this is a location based adventure game developed by a company called Mopius.
As we talked about in class, location tracking opens up so much in the way of development.
This game knows your location in the real world, and translates that into a location in the game world.
Here is a brief excerpt from a players first-time expierience.
"My own experience with Journey was a great one. I started playing about midnight one evening in my sixth floor apartment. This apartment became associated with the in-game detective office where the game starts. When it came time to travel to a nearby bar in search of clues I actually had to pick up my increasingly hefty behind and march down the block to the nearest subway station where it suddenly recognized a change in location and told me I had arrived at the bar. Perhaps looking foolish I stood at the subway entrance questioning my in-game suspect and when he then suggested a search of a nearby location was called upon to move along again. While this might sound irritating, it actually was quite fun and kept me entertained for most of the next afternoon as I marched back and forth around the real city finding people (in game) and sometimes being found by them."
The Journey was more of a technology demo, and a sequel has since been developed titled Journey II ( big surprise no? )
