The player controls Bwana, a rasta-styled character who runs the gas station Bwana's Gas 'n' Charter with his partner Kito.
They are visited by Lina, an assistant at Agibo University.
In the introduction the office of a professor is raided by two criminals.
Lina visits to find an old book that belongs to Kaonandodo, a former sea captain and the owner of the gas station, who disappeared one day when the two were just kids.
He took Bwana and Kito under his wing when they burgled the gas station and then raised them and convinced them to become his employees.
The book Lina is after is called the Journal of the Journey Down, a collection of notes and scribbles on how to reach the Underland, a part of the world past the edge where a powerful firm attempts to prevent people from visiting.
Lina wants to get past the edge using Bwana's plane.
Most of this first episode is spent restoring the main parts of the plane and it ends when the three manage to take off.
The game is played as a classic point-and-click adventure.
Players guide Bwana through different scenes and text appears over objects that can be interacted with.
There is only one action possible, so conversations, examining, using or picking up are triggered automatically based on the context.
Items can be gathered to be stored in an inventory near the bottom of the screen, where they can also be combined.
Most of the puzzles are based on interaction with the environment, but there are also a few that require some more thinking.
Conversations have different options and it is not possible to die in the game.
About Xbox One
Microsoft's Xbox One launched in 2013 alongside the PS4 and leaned heavily into backwards compatibility and subscription services like Game Pass. Because so many Xbox One owners moved to all-digital libraries, physical Xbox One cartridges — sorry, discs — in good condition are comparatively less common on the secondhand market than their PlayStation equivalents from the same era.
Gamevaro tracks The Journey Down: Chapter One for Xbox One with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Journey Down: Chapter One to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This XONE release dates back to 2012.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for The Journey Down: Chapter One — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
