If I could choose one piece of media to forget and experience again for the first time, this game would be one of the first things that came to mind.

Hands down the most touching gaming story I've ever come across was the letter a 15 year old named Sophia wrote to Jenova Chen and thatgamecompany about how that game changed her life and made the final weeks of her terminal ill father's life better. I don't think there is a better compliment than that for any game creator and I'd have that letter framed on the wall if I worked for thatgamecompany. Even after all these years, I can't read that letter without getting emotional.

My gosh. The length was intimidating, but I finally got around to watching this all, and... my gosh!! Just when I thought I'd seen everything, knew everything, heard everything... You found so much information I'd never been able to find on my own! I can't believe there was so much I didn't know still out there! The love, care, and time that went into making this is obvious. It's heartbreaking to see the view count, how few have watched it through. There are some companies that are paid to make game documentaries like this and they, with all the resources and money at their disposal, often cannot create something of this quality. Thank you so much for bringing this to life. Journey is something dearly precious to me, and to experience something new with it again is a beautiful gift. I cannot describe how amazed I was watching this video.

I'm glad you have enjoyed watching this video as much as I enjoyed making it! Thank you so much for your comment! It's heart-warming and worth more than 1K views :D

Very insightful and educational, I think I've learned a lot from this, and it makes me appreciate the game even more than I already did. Thank you for making this compilation!

This is a video I come back to every once in a while. Does anyone else feel nostalgic about the early versions, even if you hadn't seen any of it until you saw it here? There's something weird about it. It's still one of my favorite games over 10 years after playing it for the first time.

[@KingHayabusa384]

One of the most amazing gaming expiriences I ever had. Played it through multiple times and loved it every single time.

Great video and editing! It was really cool to see the JOURNEY of this game!

[@whatdothlife4660]

Watching the pitch reel, I wonder if Sony would have gone for it without Austin Wintory's score. It's one of my favorite musical pieces of all time.
