Now, you are entirely on your own – and the only way back leads through the vast unknown of outer space.
On your strange journey, you will encounter unforeseen obstacles and unimaginable treasures. You will fail and you will pick yourselves up again. You will suffer painful losses and also make new friends – in a vibrant universe that changes its design with every new journey. Your most important goal: Bring your crew back home to their families and friends.

Storyline
The Long Journey Home is a space exploration adventure that begins with humanity's first great leap into the stars. The player takes command of the crew of Earth's first jump-capable starship, embarking on what should be a historic maiden voyage. But the inaugural jump to Alpha Centauri goes catastrophically wrong, flinging the ship and its misfit crew clear across the galaxy and leaving them stranded impossibly far from home. Marooned in uncharted space, the crew must find their own way back, navigating a vast and procedurally generated universe governed by unforgiving, realistic physics that demand careful use of gravity and momentum just to travel between worlds. Along the way they encounter a diverse array of alien species, each with its own culture and customs, who offer quests and opportunities as often as they pose the risk of misunderstanding. Every choice shapes the voyage as the crew struggles against isolation and vulnerability in the long and perilous journey back to Earth.
