SkyGoblin, the developers behind The Journey Down: Chapter One, have been hard at work on the second chapter in the point-and-click saga, taking their time to ensure that they didn't just re-do what they did with the first game. Today, they've released a bunch of screenshots for The Journey Down: Chapter Two, showing off some of the environments we'll be able to wander around in.

The Journey Down Hearkens Back to the Glory Days of Adventure Games

Posted by Rob Rich on December 26th, 2011
iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad

Rob like-a-the point-and-click adventure games. He's also rather fond of hyphens. Only one of those things is on SkyGoblin's agenda right now, but it's the more important of the two by far.

The Journey Down is (surprise, surprise) an adventure game that looks like it would fit right in with any of those classic Lucasarts titles. Seriously, Bwana there looks like he'd fit right in with the likes of Guybrush Threepwood and Manny Calavera. In fact, the use of African masks as artistic inspiration (coupled with the use of some reggae and jazz music) isn't all that different from Grim Fandango's incorporation of the Dia de los Muertos motif.

Episode one, which is slated for a Q1 2012 release, sees Bwana and his sidekick Kito getting torn from the drudgery of their down-and-out gas station and thrust into a web of intrigue and corruption. No word yet on pricing or a more solid date (or high resolution in-game footage), but The Journey Down definitely seems like a game worth looking out for.
