Installation instructions

  • 1. Install The Longest Journey. If you don't own the game, you can buy it on GOG or Steam .
  • 2. Download the main mod and extract the contents of TLJHD.zip to the game installation directory. If asked, overwrite all existing files. Make sure that the path to the mod looks like this: The Longest Journey\mods\TLJHD\ . You can also download a pack of upscaled in-game videos — extract them to the game directory as well.
  • Download ScummVM
  • 4. Launch ScummVM, click Add game... and choose the game (not the mod!) directory.
  • 5. Make sure that Load modded assets option is enabled.
  • 6. Switch to Graphics tab, click Override global graphic settings , then enable Aspect ratio correction and Fullscreen mode options. Enable anti-aliasing for 3D models. From my experience 4x is more than enough.
  • 7. Confirm your settings by clicking OK .
  • 8. Click Start to launch the game.
  • 9. Enjoy the game!

This mod updates adventure game classic The Longest Journey with HD visuals

Upscaled backgrounds and sprites.

the longest journey hd mod

If you were looking for an excuse to replay The Longest Journey, one of the best adventure games of all time , then look no further than The Longest Journey HD, a new mod with upscaled backgrounds and sprites, a redrawn user interface and other smaller visual improvements. 

Modder Faberman used a neural network to upscale the assets, and has done the same with in-game cutscenes, which you can download separately here . Judging by the screenshots of the mod it's definitely an improvement on the original, and environmental details are much easier to see.

To run the mod you'll have to own the base game and also install game engine ResidualVM, because the original engine doesn't support modified assets. The full instructions are here .

Faberman says they will continue to make minor changes to the mod: there's still "room for improvement", partly because the quality of the original assets aren't consistent. Since the 1.0 release they've put out a hotfix for one specific location in the game, for example.

If you've never played The Longest Journey, which came out in 2000, then it's absolutely worth grabbing it on Steam or GOG during a sale so you can explore its two fascinating worlds, one fantasy, one a futuristic version of our own.

Just tried this and WOW! This is truly AMAZING! I can’t believe how good this looks!! Thank you SO much. This is SO GOOD that it should be sold to Funcom and have them use it to remaster TLJ into an official release! WOW!

Wow, amazing! Will it ever be possible to update the 3D assets of the game?

Even Funcom no longer has access to those. I’m afraid that’s impossible. Short of a full remake of course.

Wow, amazing!

If you already know Back Alley Tales free mod games, don’t forget the latest mods are always updated regularly

Is it me or it looks like a painting, especially during the FMVs

The AI upscale doesn’t look so great

Originally posted by Doodlewurst : I don't know anything about those mods, nor which mods. You should be able to launch the VM from Steam using the "Add Non-Steam Program" option under "Add a Game", though it won't log hours that way. If it really matters, you could just idle the Steam version.

Originally posted by Artyom : I got and installed those 2 mods (its really awesome btw!). Im not a programmer or anything and was wondering how it works because you only drop the folders in a mod folder but nothing else. How does the game know to load those files instead of the original ones? I guess residualVM have something build in that loads anything in a MOD folder if its present? I was also wondering if it was possible to still launch the game from steam with residualvm and everything. I just like when steam log my hours played :p I played the game a little when I was a kid but I decided it was time to do the whole thing without a guide and then go for the other games. Its kinda stupid ive never really played this since im a big point and click fan. Everytime I look for lists, this one is near the top if not at the top
