Sometimes, the best part of a

0:02

secret is being part of its reveal. And

0:05

it's even better if I can solve a

0:07

mystery or two of my own along the

0:09

way. When I'm looking to escape reality

0:11

and bring out my competitive side, I

0:14

turn to a tale of murder and

0:16

romance in June's journey. It's a game

0:18

full of secrets, where every clue

0:20

brings you closer to the truth.

0:22

June's journey is a hidden object

0:24

mystery game, where you play as

0:26

June Parker as she uncovers scandalous

0:28

family secrets at her sister's estate.

0:30

I love playing June's journey because I

0:32

get genuinely invested in both the

0:34

storyline and my ability to spot

0:36

all the clues at each level.

0:39

Each chapter brings you deeper into

0:41

the story. Plus, it's set in

0:43

the roaring 20s, so beyond discovering

0:45

clues, you can explore stunning scenes

0:47

from New York parlors to Parisian

0:49

sidewalks. They get more complex the

0:51

further along you go, and it's

0:53

so fun to compete with friends

0:55

and other players for the fastest

0:57

case solving and highest scores. How

0:59

sharp are your observation skills? Put

1:01

them to the test in June's journey.

4:09

away from the trees

4:11

for now, but we're

4:13

not safe. We're away

4:15

from the trees. Back

4:17

up, back up. Keep

4:19

moving toward the shore.

4:21

Do the old street.

4:23

Go. Kidlads, help the

4:25

girl back where we

4:27

came from. Go! Come

4:29

on. We're going to

4:31

that stone wall. Go.

4:33

You need to prove

4:35

to me, you're her,

4:37

that you're Idina. What?

4:39

Oh, okay. You can't

4:41

hear me. Uh, uh,

4:43

uh, uh, uh, she,

4:45

uh, uh, from where,

4:47

or where I broke

4:49

my tooth, with you

4:51

and dad on chocolate

4:53

lake. She knows we

4:55

can't hear her. But

4:57

I know what she's

4:59

saying. It's her. Little

5:01

Eerie. So much to

5:03

see for us. You

5:05

look like him, but

5:07

with a little less

5:09

scrap and dirt. How?

5:11

I haven't showered in

5:13

days. I can't... I'm

5:16

so thankful you're here.

5:18

That you'd come for

5:20

me. Thanks. Thank you.

5:22

This is Adele. And

5:24

this is Kidlet. He's

5:26

been helping me for

5:28

a few years now.

5:30

Arena, you've got quite

5:32

the godmother. Apparently. Now,

5:34

where can we go

5:36

to secure a location?

5:38

This structure won't work

5:40

for long. Looks like

5:42

it was a boat

5:44

or ice house. But

5:46

the trees will get

5:48

closer. How are those

5:50

things from the lake?

5:52

What? I thought we

5:54

just needed the helicopter.

5:56

Where did the helicopter

5:58

go? You got here

6:00

in one, so let's

6:02

just get on and

6:04

leave. The helicopter couldn't

6:06

land. We jumped down

6:08

to the top of

6:10

the quarry. We could

6:12

try to call him

6:14

back in, but odds

6:16

are that helicopter is

6:18

never going to touch

6:20

down here. Not with

6:22

his weather and not

6:24

with those things. Sending

6:26

him back to Alagash

6:28

saved his life. Fuck.

6:30

So what do we

6:32

do? What's our next

6:34

step? First we find

6:36

somewhere defensible. We have

6:38

ammo for now, but

6:40

not forever. We need

6:42

to find a secure

6:44

place to plan. We

6:46

don't know the area

6:48

well or have all

6:50

the information we need

6:52

to find a good

6:54

way out. I found

6:56

what looked like an

6:58

entrance earlier. Mine's? Underground,

7:00

isn't it worse? It's

7:02

just for now. Kitlett.

7:04

Yeah. Here, it's loaded,

7:06

but the safety's on.

7:09

It's small, but has

7:11

a strong recoil. Hold

7:13

it with both hands,

7:15

and don't turn off

7:17

the safety until you

7:19

need it. Don't worry,

7:21

I've got another. Earlier,

7:23

with the shotgun, you

7:25

were shooting fire. Yes.

7:27

These incendiary shells use

7:29

magnesium shards to burn

7:31

at around 2,000 degrees

7:33

Celsius. Pure impact doesn't

7:35

work too well on

7:37

the things, but it's

7:39

better than nothing. And

7:41

the fire dazzles the

7:43

senses on the creatures.

7:45

We believe they mostly

7:47

use vision to hunt,

7:49

not sure about the

7:51

trees. That's new. If

7:53

we're going back, we

7:55

should head out now.

7:57

Right. It's not dark

7:59

with the lake light,

8:01

but visibility is shit.

8:03

Irina, stay behind me,

8:05

and Adele, don't leave

8:07

Irina's heels. Kidlet will

8:09

take the back. Don't

8:11

look at anything except...

8:13

to call out where

8:15

it is. Don't focus

8:17

on it. Don't listen

8:19

to anything. Put these

8:21

in your ears to

8:23

hear us and then

8:25

cover your ears as

8:27

much as you can.

8:29

Okay, all right. Mr.

8:31

Ghana, there's someone talking

8:33

in the earpiece? What?

8:35

It's not you, is

8:37

it? Right. Take them

8:39

out. Don't listen to

8:41

it. Now. Something's approaching.

8:43

Where? It's Jason. And

8:45

one of those... Shh,

8:47

shh, shh, shh, listen.

8:49

I can still help.

8:51

I can be there

8:53

for you. Forget. All

8:55

right. I understand. Go

8:58

ahead. Go inside. Time is

9:00

running short. I've done almost

9:02

everything else. It's leaving. Tell

9:05

me everything about Jason. Fast.

9:07

He's crazy. And he killed

9:09

my sister. We thought he

9:11

was going to help us.

9:13

And then he betrayed us

9:16

and killed Mika, her sister.

9:18

He's working with those big

9:20

creatures and the trees. They've

9:22

been digging a hole in

9:24

the lake ice. Technically, not

9:27

a lake, but yeah. And

9:29

I think he kills a

9:31

few other people too. Can

9:33

we shoot him? Yes. We

9:35

know that helicopter didn't land,

9:38

but you made it here.

9:40

The Savior arrived, rain and

9:42

fire. Taking a del away

9:44

from him. We're here, she's

9:46

going to go down there.

9:49

Happy to give you a

9:51

demonstration of that fire in

9:53

person. You

9:55

saw the branches try to rip

9:57

her into the sky. You saw

10:00

the great guardians as you... I

10:02

moved across the lake, but you

10:04

don't seem surprised. It's taken a

10:06

lot to get where I am

10:08

now. Bit of a mistake, huh?

10:10

But I got a call from

10:12

someone important, and here I am.

10:14

Seems that over a decade of

10:17

this shit, a decade of knowing,

10:19

not to look for what's out

10:21

there, didn't end up making me

10:23

all that much wiser. But I

10:25

said it was okay if it

10:27

came to bite me in the

10:29

ass. Me, not her. But there

10:32

have always been rules. Some insane,

10:34

some asinine, but consistent. So what

10:36

the fuck is happening here? All

10:38

this time, you're thinking it would

10:40

make you wise? I'm sorry to

10:42

say it, it always does the

10:44

opposite. I'll be the judge of

10:47

that. Now stop messing with the

10:49

system. I can't figure shit out

10:51

if it's changing. Really? That's selfish.

10:53

Why would you want things to

10:55

continue like that? No,

11:14

no, these, you don't need

11:16

to see that. Don't, don't

11:18

look in there. Stay back,

11:20

it's for the better, come

11:22

in there, stay back, it's

11:25

for the better, come with

11:27

me. Wait, what happened to

11:29

Alionna? Stop trying, alone is

11:31

dead, and it's crucial. Grateful,

11:33

they just don't usually take

11:36

hearts, they're more subtle, psychological.

11:38

They took a fucking heart,

11:40

where is Mikhail, her assistant,

11:42

has any... Don't see Mikhail.

11:44

Go help Tamar, please. No.

11:47

Others can, but we are

11:49

sticking together. Do not leave

11:51

my sight and don't go

11:53

anywhere with anyone alone. Something

11:55

did this. Come on. I

11:57

know you don't. participate to

12:00

the sacrifices, but this, the

12:02

removal of their heart, the

12:04

pure violence of it, you

12:06

know, this is forming their

12:08

work. Forming? Here. No, no.

12:11

We are too far from

12:13

a site. Only Crippler will

12:15

operate outside of sites. But

12:17

with things changing... What about

12:19

the new clippler? The one

12:22

that followed us here? We

12:24

don't know if all clippler

12:26

there acted the same way,

12:28

not now. We can't assume

12:30

anything. By that logic, we

12:32

can't assume that form either

12:35

or tight closely to sites

12:37

anymore, either. This, we need

12:39

to leave. This is just

12:41

an easy hunting ground now.

12:43

We are all targets. What

12:46

has happened? Someone, something killed

12:48

Aljona. Her body is in

12:50

the conference room. Her heart

12:52

is gone. Aljona, what are

12:54

you saying? Why is she?

12:57

Has anyone found a fool?

12:59

Fuh! We're telling Ali! Bow,

13:01

don't run off! Shit! Oh,

13:03

we're gonna get up. Hell

13:05

them in the leagr. Let's

13:08

get back to the sweet.

13:10

We can't help Aljona. The

13:12

police are coming and we'll

13:14

just be in the way.

13:16

We have our own problems

13:18

to worry about. Yes, of

13:21

course. Yes, their disappearance prevented

13:23

Eloise and Miho from finding

13:25

them. But where did they

13:27

go? What have they been

13:29

up to? You have Lincoln

13:32

on you, yes? Always. Don't

13:34

let her go. Are you

13:36

okay? I'm fucking terrified. Her

13:38

heart was gone. Fuck. These,

13:40

I have a son. You

13:43

have kids. We could die

13:45

here. We knew that. Thank

13:51

you for

13:54

not letting

13:58

me see

14:01

that. Yeah,

14:05

of course.

14:08

We're here.

14:12

Really, go

14:15

there. Far,

14:18

no. Stop

14:22

back. Close

14:25

the door.

14:30

What does the hotel think is

14:32

happening? I don't know, an attack

14:34

in a missing heart, maybe a

14:36

wild animal or a psychotic killer.

14:38

Maybe they think it's terrorism. And

14:40

with what happened to Lenaya? Yeah,

14:42

the hotel is probably in a

14:44

panic. Help me check the rooms

14:46

for the missing creeper village. They

14:48

may not have gone far and

14:50

the whole suite didn't get searched

14:52

before we heard Tamar scream. Was

14:54

it just Tamar we hurt? Not

14:56

Aljona. I don't think about it,

14:58

just get looking. Who's

15:06

there? Yours was

15:08

the only sweet

15:10

we knew belonged

15:12

to another of

15:15

the families. We

15:17

are sorry for

15:19

the intrusion. Do

15:22

you have your

15:24

cripple with it?

15:26

Your artifacts? Oh,

15:28

yes. I'm sorry,

15:31

but we would

15:33

not feel comfortable

15:35

without them. We...

15:38

There is too

15:40

much at stake

15:42

and we need

15:45

their protection. That

15:47

is fine. Just

15:49

fine. But know

15:51

that we have

15:54

ours as well.

15:56

Of course. Do

16:00

you know what happened? With

16:03

Aljona, just that Tama was

16:05

first to find her in

16:08

a conference room. The Zima

16:10

were meant to be with

16:13

the Gulit Dani and Sina

16:15

Venna representatives. Well, it was

16:17

Tamar who found her. Has

16:20

anyone seen Mikhail Marcio Ritalo?

16:22

Why would they have gone

16:25

back to the conference room?

16:27

There's no way they could

16:30

have searched a single room

16:32

in that short of time.

16:35

The hotel wouldn't give me

16:37

the room numbers if I

16:40

asked anyways. Certainly not now

16:42

during all these incidents. Asked

16:45

I shouldn't. Yes. Did either

16:47

of you see her? Oh,

16:50

you know? I did. Was

16:52

it... Was it a person?

16:55

It looked like the work

16:57

of a guardian. I'm calling

17:00

Sijia. They need to know

17:02

what's happening here. I would

17:05

like to call back home

17:07

as well to update them

17:09

and inform them of our

17:12

current danger. May I use

17:14

the other room? Of course.

17:17

Our whole tech team is

17:19

poring over the Linnea videos,

17:22

and everything is revealing one

17:24

catastrophe after another. Are you

17:27

in DC, okay? They're fine

17:29

for now. Why not speak

17:32

Icelandic? Certainly the conversation will

17:34

be more comfortable. Do not

17:37

change on my account. Mattel

17:39

doesn't speak Icelandic. He is

17:42

Austrian of the phorado, but

17:44

married our matriac. Mattel, we

17:47

are here with Koski of

17:49

the EY. There has been

17:52

a death of a true

17:54

daughter, Aliana Sima, and the

17:57

hotel is on lockdown. We

18:00

have more problems here. We got

18:02

news an hour ago about an

18:04

earthquake. 7.3 in the northern Santa

18:06

Cruz Providence of Argentina. It shook

18:08

the excavation of the damaged Sina

18:10

Bennet site and broke several pieces

18:12

of mining equipment. Also, I don't know

18:14

if you've seen the news, but Mount

18:16

Edna has started spewing gas and they're

18:18

saying that a major rupture on Sicily

18:21

is now considered imminent. Same here with

18:23

Katla. We're all preparing for lava

18:25

flows and possible air closures. But

18:27

everyone is safe and prepared. The

18:29

kits. Yes, the family is safe, so

18:31

tired. What else? I know that can be

18:33

all. There's a cold air mask coming

18:35

down from the Arctic that

18:37

split east and west of the

18:40

Atlantic, post to settle over mainland

18:42

Europe and over eastern Canada

18:44

and the US northeastern states.

18:46

Current expectations are freezing rains, blizzards

18:49

and high winds, with the possibility

18:51

to first let me write

18:53

down your updates. It's a

18:55

lot. I'll forget. Please repeat

18:57

what happened. Slowly. Slowly. But

18:59

I'll write fast. Quick version. Linnea

19:02

and Harold Volsigna were brought

19:04

to hospital. We don't know

19:06

why. Linnaeus' emails were sent

19:09

out shortly after. Ruikau-Fu and

19:11

Lamsira Gultani went missing. Sina

19:14

Peni representatives finally arrived and

19:16

recounted events from the destruction

19:18

of their site's access point

19:21

and the recent misfortunes. We

19:23

voted to look for evidence of

19:25

guilt regarding the attack on the

19:27

well sickness and the disappearances. So

19:30

we split into parties of three

19:32

families each and went to search

19:34

our sweets. During the search of

19:36

our sweets, we heard Tamar Gulani

19:38

scream and rust back to the

19:41

conference room to find Alionazima there

19:43

with Tamar's body. Then we broke

19:45

off from one another again and

19:47

here we are. Aliana was dead

19:49

in a tear. Her heart would

19:51

be moved. That was a lot

19:53

of blood. It looked like a

19:55

guardian attack. When we returned to

19:57

our suite, the hotel went into

19:59

light. Mio and Kowski Evai are locked

20:01

out of their room, so they are

20:04

here with us. We heard the scream

20:06

in the hall recently. Sound like a

20:08

man. Did you get all that? Yeah, I

20:10

just recorded it instead. On our

20:13

side, we're still sending more devout

20:15

out to the site, but nothing

20:17

has stopped the activity. Attempts to

20:19

quell it, only seem to have

20:22

made it worse. We've even gone

20:24

out looking for the survivor scene

20:26

in Volsigna's videos. It's possible they

20:28

may need to be returned. What?

20:31

No! They've already suffered enough. And

20:33

the madness alone does not mean there must

20:35

be sent to the sites. We are trying.

20:38

We need to consider every option

20:40

we can at this point. Any

20:42

conclusions drawn from their videos

20:44

and photos, Linnya released yet?

20:46

The changes to the madness, the verse,

20:48

and the compulsions all began around the

20:50

same time. And seems to correlate

20:53

with the strengthening of radiation

20:55

at several official locations. And

20:58

new locations are

21:00

cycling up and

21:02

out quickly across

21:04

everywhere. You said up

21:07

and out, are

21:09

the not remaining

21:11

active? Coroji Shindo.

21:13

Are any? Koske! Everyone

21:16

get down, under

21:18

the table, go!

21:20

What? An earthquake?

21:26

Is everyone okay? Yes,

21:28

that's all built to

21:31

withstand our earthquakes. Thank

21:33

you for the warning. Line's

21:35

gone dead. Yes, thank you.

21:38

We need to get out

21:40

of you. Listen, I know

21:42

Cynthia sent Thomas to Japan.

21:44

We should have been more

21:46

open about it. And I

21:48

understand you are worried about

21:50

Jason, but we had nothing

21:52

to do with that. What

21:54

we can't do here and

21:56

now is help each other

21:59

live through this. Whatever is

22:01

happening, it is coming of

22:03

the families and it's going to

22:05

come after us. Here, look,

22:07

this is Linker. She usually

22:09

protects my sister, but the

22:11

day she is here to

22:13

protect me. Tricua has one

22:15

as well, just like you

22:17

do. And our artifacts are

22:19

not screaming. They are not

22:22

hurting one another. And I

22:24

think, be right or wrong.

22:26

or just desperation, I think

22:28

it means they're on the

22:30

same site, which means we

22:32

are too. We want to

22:34

live, and we want our

22:36

families to live, for the old

22:38

ways to stay and to keep

22:40

us safe. I hope you feel

22:42

the same. Miho, can you

22:45

tell you, Taddashi? Mm-hmm.

22:47

I agree. At least for now,

22:49

we are in this together.

22:51

Good. Agreed. Alone. I don't

22:53

think a single artifact can

22:55

fight off whatever is doing

22:58

with, not after what happened

23:00

to Aliana. Together, we might have

23:02

a chance. Just a small aftershock.

23:22

No, no. It's Tashi. She needs

23:24

help. We let you in. Our

23:26

room is on this floor. Sandra

23:29

and Tashi always take the

23:31

elevator. The conference room

23:33

is on this floor. She has

23:35

plenty of reasons to be here.

23:38

Even so long after the alarm

23:40

went off, and I don't think

23:42

it's safe to open the door.

23:45

Even if that is Tashi. We

23:51

just agreed to

23:53

help each other. Please

23:56

trust me. This? The

25:20

Now on to the trailer. I've been

25:22

warned to not tell this story,

25:24

but I think because of the

25:26

way it ends, it's okay to

25:28

tell this story, because some people

25:30

say that with certain entities. to

25:32

like speak of them or talk

25:34

about them or in any way

25:36

like portray them as powerful will

25:39

attract them to other people. The

25:41

creepiest thing about it to me is a

25:43

lot of times it would wait for me

25:45

to notice it like it would just lay

25:47

its arm out like this and then I'd

25:49

be like where is it where is it

25:52

and then I'd see it and then it

25:54

would just slur back. For more information on
