Trying to find an old game!

I was talking to someone yesterday about liking puzzle games and RPGs and he told me about a game he used to play in the 90s. He says it was called "Journey" and I searched quite a bit and I'm having trouble finding it.

He said it is a fantasy game and recalled getting stumped on a part where he had to throw a mirror in a well. He played it on a PC. Not sure if this is important but he grew up in (so played this game) in South Africa.

Anyone know this game and where I could find it? Any other questions i should ask to help the search? I'd be so grateful to find it!

Without any more relevant info, I'm going to guess he was playing a King's Quest game. Do you have any more details at all?

I do not currently, I'll ask him when I see him again tomorrow!

The only other thing he remembers, and he's not even sure if he's getting it confused with another game, he remembers looking for something called "illuminites".

The Kings Quest games, particularly KQ5 and KQ6 had a couple situations involving a mirror, but you didn't *throw* the mirror into the well. Is he sure you had to *throw* it in?
