Daedalic Entertainment Studio West is at PAX East this weekend, showing off The Long Journey Home, their space exploration game coming later this year to Windows, OS X, and Linux. They are introducing four characters, who are also briefly on display in this recent teaser trailer from the project that also shows off some gameplay. Here's word on the game and its influences:

The Long Journey Home is a Space Exploration RPG that combines the best of classic space adventures like Starflight and Star Control II with the replayability of modern roguelikes, in a procedurally generated, endlessly surprising living universe inspired by beloved modern Science Fiction shows like Farscape and Firefly.

Your goal: to find the way back to Earth. An accident during humanity’s first jump drive test has catapulted you and your crew to the other side of the galaxy, and the only way home is through. Lead your crew as you explore new worlds in search of allies and support. Face searing storms and deadly gravity as you plunder alien worlds for their secrets and technology. Befriend alien races and earn their trust. Keep your people alive.
