Canadian writer and cartoonist Bryan Lee O’Malley stated in his third ever graphic novel that ‘his only goal in life was to become rich.’ The book in question was the second instalment of the smash-hit series of Scott Pilgrim graphic novels. Joking or not, the Pilgrim series and the Edgar Wright adapted film have surely and undoubtedly made O’Malley a very rich man indeed.

The Journey Down: Over The Edge is a point-and-click adventure game created by Theodor Waern, with music by Simon De Souza. Five years in the making, this isn’t just any freeware Adventure Game Studio project either. Over The Edge has been put together so expertly that one could be forgiven for thinking that it is in fact a long lost LucasArts classic from the glory days of the adventure gaming genre. There is artistry amidst its pixels, beauty within the world portrayed. Welcome to The Journey Down.
