Habe Roard 96 durch. Hatte nicht gedacht dass mir so ein Game gefallen würde l. Aber die Aktualität des politischen Kontexts macht es sehr spannend. Darüber hinaus ist der Soundtrack hammer und die Charaktere fand ich auch ganz interessant.

Für einen Durchlauf braucht man nicht so lange, darum kann man es auch auf kleine Zeitfenster aufteilen.

Road 96 is a cel-shaded procedurally generated first-person adventure RPG set in a vaguely midwest alt-American quasi-dictatorship in the summer of 1996.

It is the third game in the August Humble Choice bundle, and the second of the games that I already owned, having bought it three months after it came out.

You play a succession of teenaged runaways attempting to escape cross-country by whatever means possible to reach the titular Road 96, the one route out of the country.

As you make each journey, you encounter a cast of characters, slowly piecing together their backstories as you make each journey.

Each journey can end in arrest, or (apparently) death, or escape.

So far, my first two chapters have resulted in being arrested each time, so at least I'm not dead?

The soundtrack is quite wonderful, and I find the storyline quite moving.

Between this and Disco Elysium, I think either game justifies this month's bundle, but if you don't have either, it's a definite buy. Even if you do end up with Chivalry II as well.

Road 96 is:
