Along this path, brave heroes venture forth, each journeying to distant, mysterious lands.

But in the end, only one will be remembered as a legend. Journeys Afar: The Ketsueki is a sandbox game of epic adventure, where the journey matters more than the destination. Each player is a unique hero from a distinct world.

As heroes travel across The Ketsueki, they impact the worlds they visit and discover who they truly are.
