Before You Start: One Tip For Playing Journey The Best Way

Here at Kotaku , we like to put together lists of tips for getting the most out of some games . Skyrim , Far Cry 3 , Arkham City , games like that.

Journey isn't really a game like those other ones. There isn't actually a "best" way to play it. But there's one tip that I wanted to share, because I've found myself offering it to more and more people over the last month. Seeing as how Journey has wound up on lots of Game of the Year lists, I get the sense that there are still plenty of people firing it up for the first time.

Here's my tip: The first time you play, turn the PlayStation Network off and play it by yourself, offline.

I don't mean to take anything away from the game's multiplayer features, which allow other players to anonymously drop in and out of your game to spend some time by your side. It's a lovely thing, and one of the smartest and most distinctive things about Journey . But the first two times I played the game, it was essentially solo—I was playing ahead of release, for review, so there weren't too many people online. It was just me, and the mountain. And it was amazing .

I recently came back to the game to give it another run (more or less to see how it was to come back to it, now that it's GOTY time), and found that the experience is markedly different alongside others. I got all wrapped up in trying to follow the person who'd joined my game, and at one point a maxed-out player in a white cloak and I worked for about five minutes to get me up to a platform so I could snag a collectible glyph. The game is interesting and beautiful with others, but I wouldn't have wanted to experience it that way the first time through.

So: If you still haven't played Journey but think you're going to, consider tackling it alone. Turn off your network connection and play it by yourself, at least the first time through. (And if you've played it once but it didn't quite grab you, consider making a second time through solo.)

Don't worry. It's a game made for multiple playthroughs, and there will aways be time to experience that neat multiplayer, and maybe even to earn a white cloak of your own. In fact, just like in life, playing with others can give you a new perspective on being by yourself .

But the first time you walk toward the mountain, walk alone.

Journey is an adventure game developed by ThatGameCompany and released by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2012 on PlayStation 3, as a Sony Exclusive title.

Due to its ongoing success, it got ported to several platforms:

• See Release dates

Since the very start, the game had a very strong community, people that fell in love with the game and playing it all over again. Over the years, they discovered many interesting things and are still playing it. Journey is a very special game, it's best enjoyed "blind", with no knowledge about it before playing it for the first time.

The Journey effect [ ]

"According to Chen (one of the founders of TGC), the company focuses on creating video games that provoke emotional responses from players." [1]

You will be thrown into a scary, yet, wonderful new world, with no idea who you are or what you're doing, besides one singular goal.

Even worse: there is no guidance, no helpful hints to bail you out: you have to find out everything by yourself and make your way through the what seems like an endless desert.

The stunning visuals (best enjoyed on a big screen, played with a controller) and the Grammy nominated soundtrack will do their part to cause a wide variety of emotions.

Beware: Journey is a beautiful game, but it often manages to cause emotions like despair, confusion, fear or sadness too. This is part of the experience.

Journey is all about empathy and respect. Upon meeting a figure like you, you are forced to make decisions. Sometimes, they want to go further or go on an endless exploration. If both are stubborn, they will part ways.

Just like finding a new friend in life, you might walk for a while, lose contact or stay friends until the very end. You will enjoy the time spent together and probably respect each others flaws.

Journey is also a game about sand, cloth, and various creatures you meet on the way.

The more you play Journey you will discover slight differences or see things, that seem new. It may be hard to describe, but here are some expressions from longterm fans of Journey :

• Does this look different now?
• This never happened before.
• It's so scary.
• I have never seen this.
• It is a hard game. (meaning not only gameplay, often the game causes emotions and not all are "nice", just like experiences in life)
• I want to learn more about this.
• Interactive zen video. So relaxing.
• Everytime something new.
• It's so funny.

Journeys success continues through the years, it received over 100 awards. Several "Game of the Year", many BAFTA awards, the soundtrack got nominated for a Grammy (Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media ) and so on.

Fallout’s 10 Best Songs That Play On The Radio, Ranked

Fallout 4 player's creative playthrough gives in-game order to eliminate todd howard, paper mario: the thousand-year door continues an awful nintendo tradition.

The PlayStation 4's Play At Home initiative is meant to encourage people to stay at home with free games, including developer thatgamecompany's beautiful Journey . The unique, emotional game earned praise for its art-worthy visuals and award-nominated soundtrack, but one of its most notable features is its seamless, wordless multiplayer. Without text or voice chat, though, it can be hard to tell if Journey' s other player companions are real people or A.I. fakes.

Along with Journey , the Play At Home program includes Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection in an effort to keep players busy and entertained while practicing COVID-19 social distancing. Both games are free to download and keep for all PS4 owners - regardless of their PlayStation Plus subscription status - if secured before May 5. The Uncharted games are single-player, which has its own appeal during social distancing and self-quarantines, but part of what makes video games appealing in the current pandemic is their ability to connect people separated by physical space.

Related: WHO Recommends Playing Video Games To Stay Safe Against Coronavirus

Journey' s multiplayer does just that, but it does so in a way few other games have. Multiplayer is seamlessly integrated, with players simply happening upon each other in the game world, and players have only simple chirps to signal to one other. Journey has no chat system of any kind, and it doesn't even have an emote system to allow for more complicated silent communication, leaving some players wondering if they're actually playing alongside real human beings.

Is Journey's Other Player A Real Person Or An A.I. Companion?

PlayStation's online ecosystem is part of what makes Journey' s multiplayer functionality so vague. Normally, multiplayer gameplay requires a PlayStation Plus subscription , but Journey players run into other player characters even if they're not paying PS Plus members. While this may appear to indicate these other characters are just A.I. facsimiles, it seems Journey' s co-op just doesn't require a PS Plus subscription. According to the game's store page, its online features "require an account," but there's no mention of PS Plus, so this seems to refer simply to a basic PlayStation Network account. Descriptions for games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare , on the other hand, include phrases like "requires PlayStation®Plus membership to access online multiplayer," while Journey does not.

Of course, it's entirely possible that A.I. companions could be substituting for real ones when players' online connections drop, as some Journey -playing forum users have conspiracy-theorized. But there's an easy way to prove this false: At the end of a Journey playthrough, the game tells players the usernames of the others they met along the way. These are real accounts that users can message and send friend requests to, and it's highly unlikely thatgamecompany created fake accounts just to sell an illusion. In fact, it seems that if players lose connection or otherwise don't have internet access while playing, they'll simply go through the game alone, further proving the legitimacy of this must-play PS4 game's multiplayer .

June’s Journey Guide: Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Solve All Mysteries

By: Author Rachel Robbins

Posted on Last updated: February 16, 2024

Everyone loves a good mystery. There’s undoubtedly a measure of excitement in trying to solve crimes, ghost sightings, or other events that need more than commonplace logic to be explained. Mysteries beget intrigue, and humans are inherently drawn toward strange happenings if only to satisfy our curiosity and break the monotony of the everyday.

It’s why cartoons like Scooby Doo or shows like CSI , Ghost Hunters , or even Ancient Aliens have become such hits, there’s always an element of mystery to them, a puzzle that needs to be solved, a story to be unraveled. Of course, one cannot discount the importance of the Sherlock Holmes or Nancy Drew books, which have given readers the chance to step into these mysterious stories long before they’ve become staples of the big screen.

It’s no surprise then that games like June’s Journey can deftly pull players into a world of intrigue, romance, and crime. Set in the roaring ’20s, June’s Journey is a hidden objects game wherein you’re presented with a scene and are tasked to find objects corresponding to a set of words. The mechanics of the game seem simple enough at the onset, but there’s more to it than meets the eye, just like the mystery surrounding the deaths of June’s sister Clare and Clare’s husband, Harry.

Before giving an overview of how the game is played, let’s first talk about the story in which the game revolves so we can have some context into June’s motivation, which, by extension, also serves as your motivation as the player: June’s Journey begins with June Parker receiving news that her sister Clare had been killed by her husband, Harry, just before Harry himself committed suicide.

With their teenage daughter Viriginia left in the estate, June takes it upon herself to travel to her late sister’s house, which also happens to be the scene of the crime. Here, June discovers that her hunch had been right: that there was something awfully suspicious about the circumstances surrounding her sister and brother-in-law’s deaths. Though without any experience as a detective, June has nevertheless made up her mind to find out what truly happened to Clare and Harry.

Determined to get to the bottom of things, June sets off to find more clues, and this is where you, as the player, will come in.

In following the story, you will be, as mentioned, provided with scenes containing a set of words that pertain to specific objects found in that particular scene. Some of these objects can be easily spotted while others are hidden, testing your observation skills. Your goal is to find all the objects until every word in the list has been crossed out.

In some cases, an object included in that list is a clue that drives the story forward. Every time you play a round of a specific scene, the list of words and objects you have to find will change.

For every object that you click correctly, you stand to gain multipliers that will give you bonus points. The faster you click on the right objects, the higher the multipliers and your score will be.

Scores are calculated based on your speed, accuracy, and whether or not you’ve availed of hints. Using hints will decrease your score.

Scenes are considered as levels and playing a single round will require you to spend energy. Completing a round will earn you points that can gain you stars. Each level has a maximum of 5 stars, which will earn you Mastery of that level. There are multiple levels in each chapter and you may only proceed to the next chapter if you’ve achieved all its requirements, which may consist of stars and flowers.

If stars can be earned by mastering a level, flowers can be earned by buying decor for Orchid Island, which is where Clare’s estate is. As June, you’ve become the unofficial caretaker of the estate. Every piece of decor costs a varying amount of coins, which can be earned by completing rounds. Placing certain types of decor will also yield a varying amount of flowers. Aside from being used to access new chapters, flowers are also needed to level up your overall account. Increasing your account level will grant you access to more decor, more levels, more chapters, and so on.

The estate itself, which is considered an individual building, can be leveled up. Completing rounds may get you construction materials, which are necessary for the upgrade. Only specific decor can be leveled up, which can yield flowers after the upgrade has been completed. Buildings also passively produce coins, which can be collected after a waiting period.

Additionally, you may eventually expand accessible spots in Orchid Island when you collect compasses, which are used in exchange for expanding your plot. Reaching certain chapters in the main story or getting enough stars will also grant you access to different places around Orchid Island, such as the lighthouse, the hangar, or the shipyard.

Of course, you can get all of these rewards and open up more locations when you play the main hidden objects game following Clare and Harry’s murder mystery. But while the mechanics of the game sound rather simple, just find an object and click on it, it’s a lot more challenging than you might think.

With our beginner’s guide for June’s Journey, we’ll teach you some tricks to find objects in the fastest way possible, as well as tips to get those high scores, not waste a drop of energy, and decorate Orchid Island into a vintage paradise that will be the envy of your neighbors, and solve the murder mystery along the way, of course.

Spend Your Energy Well

As we mentioned earlier, playing a round will always require energy. As a beginner, you have roughly a maximum of 110 energy points. Each round costs a minimum of 15 energy points. Depending on how well you do in a round, you can either gain a star or portion of a star.

This means that if a level has a maximum of 5 stars to achieve Mastery, you likely have to play it more than 5 times as completing a round does not automatically mean gaining 1 whole star. Sometimes, you might gain only 12% of a star or 30% of a star.

Again, it depends on how quickly and accurately you find all the objects included in the word set. If you do extremely well in a round, perhaps even get a “Perfect” rating, then you might be able to get, say, 50% of a star.

However, if you do poorly, you might get only 12% of a star, for example. If you consistently get low percentages, this basically means that you’re spending a lot of energy without getting much in return. Additionally, 1 energy point regenerates every 2 minutes so waiting times can feel quite lengthy.

This brings us to the two ways you may choose to approach the game so you can allocate energy points in the most productive way: you can either gain mastery of one level at a time or find all the clues first to complete a whole chapter.

What difference do these two approaches make? They both have their pros and cons and here’s what sets them apart:

Gaining Mastery of a Level First

Gaining Mastery of one level means earning all 5 stars for that level. Again, this will likely take more than 5 rounds as the game doesn’t seem to let you earn 1 whole star with every round, even if you do manage to get a “Perfect” rating.

This can seem a little tedious at first, but the advantage of gaining Mastery of a level is that you’re only focused on one scene and though there will be objects added to it every time you play a round, you’ve already become familiar with most of where the objects are hidden that you’re more likely to get Perfect ratings even if the difficulty increases. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, so playing a level over and over to earn all 5 stars is definitely good practice.

Eventually, you would become quite familiar with the scene and the locations of objects that you’ll complete rounds faster without using hints. This then maximizes the energy you spend. Additionally, after attaining Mastery of a level, you get to open a 5-Star Box, which often contains Rare, Marvelous, and Special items.

The downside to this approach, however, is that the story won’t progress as fast and you won’t be able to unlock other areas in Orchid Island until later.

Finding Clues First

On the other hand, you may opt to complete searching for clues first then moving on to the next level instead of earning Mastery for one level. The way the game works is that in every level, you get to find 2 clues, the first of which you’ll encounter upon starting the level and the second when you’ve reached a certain number of stars for that scene.

Once you’ve found all the clues, you may unlock the next level (provided you also have enough of the flowers required) and proceed to play that scene. The advantage to this is that you’ll be able to drive the story forward and unlock more levels, chapters, and other features of the game such as unlockable locations around Orchid Island.

The downside is that most of the time, accessing the final level of a chapter requires a certain number of stars, which you’ll have to earn from previous levels. This means you may have to gain a Mastery rating of certain levels anyway.

Between these two approaches, gaining Mastery of each level may be the more productive approach when it comes to maximizing your energy points. It might seem slow in terms of story progression, but you won’t have to worry about going back to previous levels and trying to reacquaint yourself with a specific scene all over again.

You only have to focus on one scene at a time, raising your chances of getting a high score and Perfect ratings since you’re already familiar with the objects that can be found in the scene. Additionally, stars (alongside compasses) are also required to expand the plot around your estate, which is surrounded by fog. Certain decor items may also be unlocked when you earn a number of stars.

That said, you can consider gaining Mastery as the slow but steady approach that will ultimately lead to more rewards in the long run. All you need to do is be patient about your progression.

Thoroughly Study the Scene

As mentioned, high scores for each round depend on how quickly and accurately you find the right objects in a scene. During your first few tries, this can seem a little difficult and may take some time getting used to.

Many objects are cleverly hidden wherein some are shrouded in shadows, placed behind a more prominent object, or look as though they’re part of what our vision perceives as the background. Thus, you need to thoroughly study the scene to become familiar with what objects it contains from the get-go. But how exactly do you do that? Here are a few tips we’d like you to consider: 

Pick the Image Apart

The first time you encounter a particular scene, you’ll be given an overall view of what it looks like. You’ll quite literally get to see the entire picture but not all the details, at least, not immediately. Upon encountering a scene, we strongly recommend zooming into it first before clicking on any object as listed in the word set.

This is because clicking an object automatically begins the round, and how fast you find objects will be taken into account when tallying up your final score. Thus, it’s better to pick the image apart first before beginning the round so you don’t waste time zooming the picture in and out when the invisible timer has begun.

When zooming into portions of the scene, try to be methodical about it. One thing you can do is try to imagine lines dividing the picture into several parts. Let’s take this scene for example:

As you can see from the image above, we’ve divided the scene into three. Let’s look at the rightmost portion first. The most obvious objects are the big ones or those closest to the foreground, so take note of those first:

Smaller objects which may be mistaken as part of the background or can be easily overlooked include:

• Easel on the balcony
• Water tower beside the trees
• Crown on top of the fountain

At the center portion, the most obvious objects may include:

• Hanging flowers
• Flower bush

Further breaking the image into smaller objects, we can see the following:

• Lights on the second floor
• Clock on top of the front door
• Heart shapes on the front door
• Horn at the side of the car
• Steps to the entrance
• Golden decor on the balcony

The left side of the image also has a lot of small things that may be included in the word set:

• Basket on top of the car
• A stack of books on top of a suitcase
• Flowers of different colors
• Foggy windows from the car
• Small balcony
• Exclamation point

You might think that the last item sounds strange, but there will be times when numbers, shapes, and even Zodiac symbols will be part of the word set. This is why it’s important to take note of every small detail that you come across since they might be included as an object you have to find.

Take your time when doing this and go back and forth zooming in and out of the scene until you have a good grasp of all the objects you can possibly recognize. Don’t start until you’re confident that you’ve managed to discern most, if not all, objects in the scene.   

Take Note of Additional Items

Apart from recognizing hidden objects, the other challenging aspect in this game is that every round you play may have other objects added to what you’ve already encountered. Take for example these two images below:

It can be rather subtle, but the scene on the right has more objects in it, any one of which may be included in that round’s word set. This brings us back to our first tip, wherein it’s a good idea to pick the image apart as thoroughly as you can.

Additionally, you need to treat each round as though you’re encountering a new scene since objects will occasionally be added or even removed from it. Reacquaint yourself with the scene each time you play it and take note of what’s been added or what’s been removed. This way, you don’t get caught off-guard when a new word suddenly springs up from the word set. 

Remember the Words and Their Locations

Now it can be extremely difficult to memorize each and every object in every scene. Fortunately, some words get repeated, allowing you to better remember the object corresponding to this word.

Aside from just knowing what the object looks like, also take note of its general location. Keep in mind that you have about 2 to 3 seconds before bonus multipliers disappear, which may be enough time to find a specific object when you know its general location.

As for encountering new words in the set, their location might not always be where you expect as some objects are placed in spots that don’t always make sense, like a letter M on a fireplace…

… or a figure eight on a sofa.

If you’ve zoomed in and out of the scene before beginning the round, these odd locations can work as markers that will help you remember an object’s general location better.

Don’t Just Click Objects at Random

You might think that it’s a clever move to just start clicking at random and hope to find the object indicated in the word set, especially if you’ve been staring at the scene for what feels like ages. Surely, you’re bound to get lucky and click on the correct object, right?

While that may be somewhat true, keep in mind that accuracy is also taken into account when tallying your overall score. This means that for every mistaken click, you lose points.

How many points are lost seem to be arbitrary, but suffice it that they do affect your final score, thus lowering your chances of getting a high percentage when it comes to earning stars. That said, it may be better to lose just speed points instead of losing both speed and accuracy points. After all, you’ve already spent some time trying to find the object that you might as well click on the right thing.

Use Hints Only When Necessary

Sometimes, there’s just that one object you can’t seem to find in the scene. You’ve zoomed in and out of the image, stared intently at the picture, but this particular object remains hidden from view. In this case, you may click the hint button, which is the light bulb on the lower right-hand corner of the screen. Upon clicking the hint button, it will illuminate the object you’re looking for, allowing you to spot it. Below is one case where we used the hint button because the chapel was extremely difficult to see and looked deceptively part of the background.

Of course, using hints will decrease your overall score. You may use hints multiple times but the button has a waiting period before it can be used again. That said, use hints only when absolutely necessary. If you really can’t find the object, then it may be time to use a hint, especially if it’s the last item on the word set.

Similarly, you may want to use the hint button if the last word on the list is one you’ve yet to encounter and you don’t want to lose the speed multiplier bonus. Click the hint button just before the multiplier bonus appears so you can still at least have a decent high score even if some points will be deducted.

Don’t Expect Items to Look the Way You Imagined

As we’ve mentioned earlier, June’s Journey is set in the 1920s, so characters, scenes, and other features of the game are all made to align with this era’s vintage aesthetic. This poses a new challenge as objects from the word list might not look like the way you imagined.

For instance, in Chapter 1, in the Old Garden Gate (Level 4), you might be asked to find a thermometer. Of course, our idea of a thermometer looks different from the way it used to in the 1920s. This is how it’s presented in the Old Garden Gate:

You’ll encounter a similar instance in Chapter 2, when you play the scene for Harry’s Yacht (Level 7). Here’s how the thermometer in this scene looks like:

Neither of these images look the same, and neither of them are likely familiar to people today, but both of these images will be listed as “thermometer” if they pop out on the word set.

On the other hand, you might encounter a word that may be totally unfamiliar to you. One example is, again, in Harry’s Yacht (Level 7), where the word “Amphora” might spring up. Amphora isn’t an everyday word so we had to use the hint button to find out where the corresponding object is. It turns out that an amphora is an ancient Greek or Roman jar with a narrow neck and two handles.

Other times, the word included in the list can also be pretty vague or just simply isn’t what you’d expect. For instance, the word airplane or plane is something you might encounter once or twice, but it can mean either an actual plane, a paper plane, or even a poster of a plane.

The word star can mean a literal star in the sky, a carving shaped into a star, or even a starfish. Grapes can mean the literal fruit or might even pertain to stone grapes that are part of a statue or decor.

You won’t really be able to tell unless you’ve actually found the object for a particular scene so it’s best not to associate a certain word with what you might think it looks like since this can keep you from finding the right object when your eyes are looking for a specific appearance based on word-image association. As much as you can, keep both your eyes and your mind open to all sorts of possibilities so you can find the right objects even if they can be tricky.

Don’t Panic!

Last but not least, panic is definitely your worst enemy! With the way the game operates, you’ll be put under time pressure not to break your streak and the pressure to click objects correctly every single instance just to get a high score and earn bigger portions of stars. You’ll soon discover, as we did, that the game can be a little stingy when it comes to earning stars.

In this case, panicking won’t help as it can sometimes lead to paralysis and you’ll lose the chance to find an object as opposed to when you approach a scene calmly and methodically. When you don’t know which object a specific word is referring to, leave that word for now and move on to the other two words flashed on the screen.

Find the objects that are most familiar to you or those whose locations or appearances you can remember best. Upon correctly finding an object, a new word will be flashed so you can turn your attention towards that first until such time you can focus on an object or objects you’re not familiar with.

Additionally, it’s easier to be calm and find the right objects when you’re in an environment that has minimal distractions. If you’re the type to concentrate better in a quiet place, play the game at a location without too much noise. You may even choose to mute the game altogether if you find the music distracting (although this is hardly the case as the music playing for each scene is rather soft and relaxing).

Also, try not to play when you’re sleepy, if your eyes feel tired, or while you’re in a spot without ample light to avoid straining your vision. Your environment may play a significant role in keeping you calm and focused so it’s best to play in a setting that fosters these.

All in all, your performance in each round will rely on your skillfulness as an observer. It can take some time getting used to but it’ll be easier once you get the hang of things. Keep our tips in mind and don’t panic!

Claiming Rewards

Though June’s Journey can be a little bit stingy when it comes to giving rewards, there are a few avenues in which you can get some extra coins, energy, and other items just by playing the main game. Here are a few of them:

Opening Boxes

Occasionally, you’ll be able to earn both 1-star and 5-star boxes during and after playing scenes. Naturally, 1-star boxes typically give out common materials and are earned at random. On the other hand, 5-star boxes are usually earned after gaining Mastery of a level. Upon acquiring boxes, they’ll simply be kept unopened in your inventory so make sure to open them up when you’ve finished a round or have run out of energy to play.

Both 1-star and 5-star boxes have a varying chance of giving the following items:

• Coins: Used to purchase decor for Orchid Island.
• Gems: Used similarly as coins, but may also be spent for speedups and other purchases like decor.
• Compass: Used in exchange for expanding plots in Orchid Island.
• Energy: What you spend playing scenes.
• Construction materials: Used to upgrade certain buildings and fixtures in Orchid Island.
• Character cards: Can be collected so you can discover more about the characters indicated in cards. When you complete character cards, you’ll be able to play a mini game where you’ll put a fragmented picture of the character together.

Once you’ve acquired a number of these rewards, you may be able to play more scenes with additional energy, buy more decor, expand plots in Orchid Island, or get additional story-related information.

Daily Deliveries

You can get random rewards from the Daily Deliveries every day you log into the game. Fortunately, the reward counter won’t reset if you forget to login and you’ll simply be able to claim the next delivery. Any of the items mentioned above can be earned through the Daily Deliveries. At the end of five days each week, you’ll be able to get a special prize and a fancy decor item by the end of 30 days.

Opening Mail

There are times when you’ll receive letters from other characters, even those you might not have met yet. Included in these letters are small rewards such as a handful of coins. That said, check your mail from time to time in case you have a letter alongside a tiny reward.

Decorate and Expand Orchid Island

Speaking of decoration and expansion, these are two important activities that you need to accomplish aside from playing scenes and finding clues. As we briefly mentioned in the beginning, decorating Orchid Island will let you earn flowers, which are needed to level up your overall account. Flowers are also required to unlock levels, particularly the last level of a chapter.

You can earn flowers by buying decor, which will often cost coins, though some can be acquired by spending gems. You will gradually unlock more decor when you keep playing scenes and earning stars.

Some decor can be expensive but yield more flowers, while cheaper decor will only give you a handful of flowers. Often, decor that earns a lot of flowers will ask you to accomplish a long waiting period, which can last between 2 to 12 hours or much more.

Taking waiting times into account, it may be best to accumulate as many coins as you can so you can afford more expensive decor items instead of buying a multitude of cheaper ones. Basically, you can play the hidden objects game over and over to earn coins and open boxes, then buy the more costly decor by the end of the day so they’ll be ready the next time you log back into the game.

On the other hand, you can still buy cheaper decor if you only need a very small amount of flowers to level up your account or unlock a particular scene. This way, you don’t have to wait too long for just a handful of flowers to progress.

Upgrading your estate, too, requires a certain waiting period, but this is something you can start anytime, provided you have all the required construction materials. Upgrading your estate or other buildings like the fountain will take several hours so the earlier you can begin this, the better.

When this is done, you’ll be able to collect extra coins from these spots. The higher the level of these buildings, the more coins you can get.

Barring aside how many flowers you can earn, you can always just have fun decorating Orchid Island and the area surrounding your estate. Of course, you will need ample space to place all the decor you’ve bought, so don’t forget to click on the foggy areas to know how many stars and compasses you need to unlock those spots.

Each expandable spot requires a different number of compasses and stars so you technically can’t choose which foggy area you want to access first because of these varying requirements, unless you skip the expansion for one spot and pick the one you desire when you’ve earned enough stars and compasses for it. Otherwise, keep playing the hidden objects game and claiming rewards so you can accumulate expansion requirements.

Similarly, progressing the main story by unlocking more chapters may also give you access to other spots in Orchid Island. For instance, you can start renovating the lighthouse when you reach Chapter 3. When you reach Chapter 7, you’ll be able to access the hangar to the west of the island.

Some other spots, on the other hand, will require the complete renovation of other areas to be accessed. For example, this cottage on the northeast side of the estate can only be accessed when the lighthouse has been completely renovated.

On the other hand, the airplane on the east side can only be unlocked when you’ve earned 60 stars.

Occasionally check what needs to be upgraded and renovated in Orchid Island so you can unlock more features and, consequently, more modes and rewards.

Complete Challenges and Tasks

As with any mobile game, tasks and challenges will spring up from time to time. These are avenues from which you can earn additional rewards apart from playing the main game. During our run, we were able to catch the event for the Elegant Gazebo, which is an exclusive decor piece you can gain by earning points from buying specific decor.

Basically, you simply need to buy the decor indicated in the list to earn the Elegant Gazebo. Each time you buy these specific decor, you gain points that will fill up a bar. Once the bar has been filled, you’ll be rewarded the Elegant Gazebo, which will give you an extra 100 flowers.

Similarly, we also caught the Help Wanted challenge, which is a set of tasks you can accomplish to earn rewards like energy or coins. Tasks can include just about anything, from finding a certain amount of hidden objects to playing a number of scenes, and so on.

Frequently check which tasks are needed to be fulfilled so you can gain additional rewards. Don’t forget to claim these rewards as well so the task will refresh into a new one. Upon claiming rewards for a completed task, you will have to wait a few hours to view the new task, unless you watch an ad.

Watch Ads for Perks

Ah yes, ads, they’re a staple in mobile games. Though they can sometimes break your immersion from the game, ads in June’s Journey are helpful in that they offer a handful of perks in exchange for 30 to 45 seconds of watch time. Here are just some of the things that you can gain whenever you watch ads:

• Reduced energy expenditure: Before playing any scene, you can click on the purple button at the lower right-hand side of the screen so you can watch ads. Doing this will lessen the cost of playing scenes from 15 energy to just 10 energy for a duration of 10 minutes. Once your 10 minutes are up, you may watch another ad so you can bring the energy cost back down to 10 once more.

• Building renovation: Let’s say you’ve unlocked the lighthouse, which is in need of renovation. The only way you can actually renovate this spot is by watching ads. Depending on how far you’ve progressed into the renovation phase, you’ll need to watch a minimum of 1 to 2 ads. Once the renovation phase is completed, you’ll have to wait around 20 hours to be able to continue renovating the area. This way, you don’t have to watch ads continuously and the game actually gives you sort of a break from playing.

• Refresh tasks instantly: This one specifically applies to when you’ve encountered the Help Wanted challenge or other similar challenges. As we mentioned in the previous section, you’ll have to wait a couple of hours before you can view new tasks. However, you can skip this waiting time once you watch an ad for each new task you want to view instantly. Between waiting a couple of hours and watching a short ad, the latter sounds like a reasonable compromise so you can continue completing tasks and not waste energy without gaining additional rewards.

This brings us to the conclusion of our beginner’s guide for June’s Journey! Hopefully, our bag of tips and tricks are able to help you find objects faster, complete scenes with higher scores, maximize your energy points, and earn more rewards!

Originally posted by CardiacShotgun : It's technically always online as long as you are online on Steam when you launch it. What they were talking about is that it plays like a singleplayer game, but that at any point during it, you can meet people who are at roughly the same point in the game as you are. The games networking will automatically join you with a random person playing that area of the game. The whole game can be completed either on your own or with any of the people you meet, that part is up to you.

Originally posted by raving_madness : i mean you could be brave and use journey to overcome those problems. often my companions are nice, might be that i always find something that i like at them. lets say, they run away "wow they must be curious, lets see where they go". i could get angry at times too "oh they are ignoring, how they dare to not like me", then i realise its me and how i react to situations. that guy might not know i am a human player, doesnt know how to play offline, or some other reasons. who i am, to be mad at them. we just got thrown into that together. we can either make the best out of it or we both will be alone (until we run into the next person)... journey is a mirror often, and not always we like what it shows :D

Posted by: BlueStacks Content Team

Editor’s Rating:

Apr 15, 2024

Welcome to June’s Journey , a game where you hunt for hidden objects, like finding Waldo in Where’s Waldo? But this game on PC is even trickier than the books because it has extra stuff that can confuse new players. But don’t worry! This guide will explain everything in an easy way.  June’s Journey is available on mobile platforms such as iOS and Google Play and PC using an Android emulator.

In June’s Journey, unlocking new puzzles isn’t just about finishing parts of the main story. There are other ways to unlock new stages and game modes. If you’re new to the game, keep reading this guide to avoid getting lost. Here are some simple tips to help you get started.

Embarking on a Journey of Mystery and Intrigue

June’s Journey invites players into a world shrouded in mystery and intrigue, where they embark on a quest to uncover the truth behind a tragic family incident. The game’s captivating narrative weaves a tale of suspense and drama, immersing players in a richly detailed storyline filled with unexpected twists and turns. From the moment players step into June’s shoes, they are thrust into a gripping adventure that keeps them hooked from the very beginning.

Mastering Hidden Object Puzzles

At the heart of June’s Journey are its challenging hidden object puzzles. Players must use their keen observational skills to locate specific items hidden within each scene. With a limited amount of time and a list of items to find, players must race against the clock to complete each puzzle. However, players can also use hints to aid them in their search, though excessive hint usage can lower their overall score. Mastering hidden object puzzles requires patience, persistence, and a sharp eye for detail.

Mastering the Gameplay Mechanics

As players navigate through the world of June’s Journey, they must master its intricate gameplay mechanics to progress effectively. Managing energy levels becomes crucial as players tackle hidden object puzzles and unravel the mysteries that lie within. Balancing resource management with puzzle-solving prowess is essential for overcoming obstacles and advancing further into the storyline. With each puzzle solved, players gain valuable insights and unlock new avenues of exploration, keeping the gameplay fresh and engaging.

Crafting Your Personal Paradise

Beyond the main storyline, June’s Journey offers players the opportunity to craft their own island paradise through the Island mini-game. Here, players can customize and upgrade their personal retreat, unlocking new features and rewards along the way. From building structures to decorating the landscape, players have the freedom to create a unique sanctuary that reflects their style and preferences. The island serves as a tranquil escape from the main storyline, allowing players to relax and unwind as they immerse themselves in the beauty of their surroundings.

Unveiling Hidden Truths Through Character Portraits

Throughout their journey, players collect character portraits that offer deeper insights into the game’s richly detailed world. These collectible items unlock additional backstory and character information, rewarding players with valuable resources and enhancing their understanding of the narrative. As players piece together the fragments of each character’s story, they gain a greater appreciation for the complexities of the game’s overarching plot, making each discovery feel all the more meaningful.

Tips and Strategies for Success

Players should keep a few key tips and strategies in mind to excel during the June tour. First and foremost, players should focus on completing story stages to uncover new clues and advance the story. Managing energy levels is also important, as healing energy can stop progress in the game. Additionally, players can prioritize collecting characters and earning stars to unlock new items and earn greater rewards. Ultimately, hidden object puzzles require practice and patience to master, so players should take their time and carefully examine each scene for clues. Here are some of the best tips and tricks  that will help you become better at June’s Journey. 

Maximizing Points and Rewards

The key to winning the June trip is scoring points, as player positions are determined on the leaderboard. Players can maximize their points by completing puzzles quickly and accurately, avoiding mistakes, and using hints sparingly. Additionally, earning stars from hidden object scenes unlocks new rooms, furnishings, and bold items for The Island. By managing their resources and successfully completing tasks, players can unlock new items and progress further in the game.

With each hidden object discovered and each puzzle solved, you draw closer to the heart of the narrative, uncovering secrets that will leave you spellbound. Whether you’re exploring the lush landscapes of the island or delving into the depths of the main storyline, may your adventure be filled with excitement and discovery. Embrace the challenge, cherish the journey, and remember, Play June’s Journey on PC  with BlueStacks for an enhanced experience on a larger screen with keyboard and mouse controls! Uncover mysteries and dive into the adventure like never before.

Share All sharing options for: How to start new game plus in Elden Ring, what you keep and what you lose

New game plus is a core component of the FromSoftware “Soulsborne” experience, and Elden Ring is no exception. Playing and replaying games like Elden Ring is crucial to maximizing your character’s potential while facing new, more difficult challenges in a second (or third… or fourth…) playthrough.

In Elden Ring ’s new game plus experience, you’ll start the game fresh, with all bosses and enemies respawned — and they’ll return with more health and deal greater damage. To compensate for these stronger enemies, you’ll retain your character’s level, weapons, summons, spells, and abilities, but you’ll lose some key items and the ability to teleport around the game’s map at Sites of Grace.

New game plus in Elden Ring is worth experiencing when you’re ready for it. For a full explanation of what new game plus in Elden Ring means — including details about how to start new game plus and what carries over in new game plus — check out our guide to what you can expect.

How to start new game plus in Elden Ring (aka “Journey 2”)

Once you’ve defeated Elden Ring ’s final boss and seen one of its six endings , you’ll have the option to continue with your current playthrough — helpful if you want to clean up anything you missed — or begin a new journey. You’ll be presented with the following prompt:

Begin Journey 2? If you do not start over now, you can choose to begin Journey 2 later at the Table of Lost Grace in Roundtable Hold.

If you select “No,” you’ll continue in your original playthrough, where you can explore further and complete any remaining side quests or tasks. When you’re done with everything you’d like to do, you can visit the Roundtable Hold, where you’ll have the option to select “Begin Journey 2” at the Table of Lost Grace.

If you select “Yes” from that prompt or choose “Begin Journey 2” at the Table of Lost Grace, you’ll restart Elden Ring right from the very beginning, at the Chapel of Anticipation, where the Grafted Scion probably killed you in your first boss battle. The good news is that you’re far better equipped to dispose of that boss this time.

Choosing to start your new game plus journey will write to the same save file you’ve been using thus far; the game won’t create a separate save file for you.

What do you keep in Elden Ring new game plus?

In new game plus, you will retain your Tarnished’s current level, any Runes you had when you finished your original playthrough, and much of your inventory: weapons, shields, spells, talismans , consumables, arrows and bolts, upgrade and crafting materials , Remembrances , Spirit Ashes , and Ashes of War. You’ll also keep many key items, like your cookbooks, pots, perfume bottles, crafting kit, Crystal Tears , and Memory Stones.

You also get to keep some important key consumable items, like any Dragon Hearts, Larval Tears , and Stonesword Keys that you had in your inventory at the end of your first playthrough.

Lastly, you’ll retain your view of the game’s map , and the key locations you discovered in your previous playthrough will remain visible.

What you lose in Elden Ring new game plus

Though you retain the full view of Elden Ring ’s map , you’ll lose access to all the Sites of Grace you visited previously; you’ll need to unlock them all again in your new game plus playthrough. Any unfinished side quests from your previous playthrough will also be reset.

In terms of inventory, you’ll also lose access to key items that are generally part of side quests or game progress. That includes literal keys (like the Academy Glintstone Key and the Dectus Medallion halves) and items that progress questlines, like the Fingerslayer Blade and Pureblood Knight’s Medal. You’ll also lose Great Runes acquired from boss fights and Mending Runes earned through questlines.

Any Bell Bearings you unlocked or turned in will also disappear, though they’ll be available for purchase through the Twin Maiden Husks’ shop in the Roundtable Hold if you turned them in during your previous playthrough.

Elden Ring new game plus difficulty: How much harder is Elden Ring new game plus?

Just as bosses and questlines reset in Elden Ring ’s new game plus, so do the items in its world. That means you can acquire duplicate versions of weapons from treasure chests and boss battles, allowing you to dual wield your favorites. You’ll also get access to additional Golden Seeds and Sacred Tears , making it easier to upgrade the Crimson and Cerulean Flasks to their full effectiveness.

Enemies may be stronger, but they also drop more runes when you kill them, making it easier to level up your character in a second playthrough. That extra challenge is also part of the fun; enemies that felt nigh-impossible in your first run may feel slightly easier in new game plus, while some will be even harder the second time around.

You’ll also be able to see Elden Ring ’s various endings (and unlock their associated trophies and achievements) in new game plus and subsequent playthroughs (Journey 3, Journey 4, etc.). Here’s how to plan your next journey through the Lands Between if you want to unlock all Elden Ring ’s endings .

Mortal Kombat 1 Beta is Coming Soon — How to Get Access

• Author: Olivia Richman

Mortal Kombat 1 is coming soon but it may not be soon enough for fans of the carnage that’s in store. If you are hoping to get your hands on Mortal Kombat 1 early, you’re in luck — a beta is on its way.

The developers behind Mortal Kombat 1 have just announced the dates for the beta. You will be able to play the Mortal Kombat 1 beta from August 18 to 21. Here’s how.

How to Get Beta Access

To get access to the Mortal Kombat 1 beta, all you need to do is pre-order the Mortal Kombat 1 Premium Edition. It’s available for pre-order right now.

The Premium Edition is $109.99. It comes with:

• Kombat Pack
• Early access to Mortal Kombat 1
• Jean-Claude Van Damme skin for Johnny Cage
• 5 new Kameo characters
• 1 week early access to DLC characters: Omni-Man, Quan Chi, Peacemaker, Ermac, Homelander, Takeda
• Shang Tsung
• Access to the closed beta

The Kombat Pack is the first group of DLC fighters . This includes Omni-Man, Quan Chi, Peacemaker, Ermac, Homelander, and Takeda. People are especially pumped to see how violent Peacemaker will be in Mortal Kombat since he’s already tearing people apart in the show and burning them with laser vision. You’ll also be able to play with these characters a week before everyone else.

Early access to Mortal Kombat 1 is another awesome perk. You’ll be able to play the game before everyone else, starting September 14. Mortal Kombat comes out September 19, giving you a few extra days to practice and get ahead of friends.

Where Can You Play the Closed Beta

5⭐️ game easily.

This is a great Company of hero’s style game that honestly in my opinion is just better. Its a fun strategy game that actually does follow a lot of the same mechanics that company of hero’s follows. The upside to it being that it simplifies those mechanics down to the point of almost anyone being able to pick up this game and play it. It allows for a wide diversity in load-outs as there are cards for units. You are allowed 7-9 spaces to build a card deck to take into battle. And depending on the build, you may do good or bad and different units actually do have different weaknesses which is cool. It puts an emphasis on bringing certain units over others. For instance, having an anti-tank vehicle in your deck is always a smart move in case you’re against an opponent who likes armored vehicles. The same goes for infantry and anti-infantry. The maps are fairly big and allow for the building of defensive structures in designated spots, and the structures actually can play a role in winning you the game. By placing them around a capture point you can hold the point to bleed enemy points dry. Overall this game has alot to offer if you’re into RTS games and plays heavily into doing well with combined arms. My review here doesn’t do it justice and I recommend playing it yourself to the have fun.

Great CoH-style RTS!

The game has great, easy-to-understand gameplay. It's very reminiscent of Company of Heroes, and best of all, it's actually pretty exciting! I like how the game makes it so that no units are too overpowered; every unit has a downside, even the most heavily armored tanks can be easily defeated. The game also makes it harder for those who get more firepower, as their army consumes more supply and gives the other player a slight chance to deplete them of their supplies. Another feature the game has is to style the deck according to your playstyle. Want to decimate infantry? Place some MGs, light armor, and artillery on your deck. Want to rush B harder than the Soviets? Make your deck the cheapest and spacious deck possible. The game's decks provides a lot of versatility for people who want to try different strategies. TL;DR: Great game, plays like the average RTS and has versatile cards for you to place.

It's a great review 👍 Thank you! Good luck on the battlefields!

Balancing issues/matchmaking issues

This game is a great game, especially for mobile, in the strategy category. The only issue I have, along with others, is the balancing issue where there seems to be no real matchmaking restrictions, so you end up playing against some vets of the game who have later game troops, as well as troops that are completely mastered. I feel like the mastery system is also a bit flawed if you can only get them through events and rarely in the shop (I have yet to see either but that may just be my own personal skill issue). I would’ve loved to see some other system, maybe involving a dynamic campaign as a way to play single player and earn those mastery points through successful campaigns. These could be based on real life operations involving the factions in-game, which would also allow for more players to play offline and learn the game and some strategies. I know the devs have said they are looking into the matchmaking problem, so here’s high hopes for that, and I do hope they consider a sort of single-player offline dynamic campaign to be able to get mastery points in a way that is rewarding and fair to all players. Still a great game regardless, and I hope it continues to be that. Cheers!

Hi, thanks for your ideas! It's awesome that you want to make the game better. If you'd like to share more information with us, do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. Any feedback is highly appreciated. Good luck on the battlefield!
