The Journey lets fans experience the story of rising Premier League star Alex Hunter, both on and off the pitch. Performances on the field and player decisions influence Alex's story. For example, the decision of which of the 20 Premier League clubs Alex should sign his first professional contract with. Record champions Manchester United are the fan favorite with 18%, followed by Liverpool FC (11%), Leicester City (11%), Arsenal (10%), and West Ham United (8%). Regardless of the club, fans worldwide have celebrated 560.000 Premier League titles and over one million FA Cup victories with Alex Hunter.
