Prepare to Cross the Country in Adventure Game ‘Road 96’

The Game Awards 2020 took place a few days ago, but we’re all still reeling from the incredible announcements and content reveals that took place during the big event. No matter what kind of genre a gamer is into, there were different games that catered to everyone — from fantasy RPG to survival-horror games.

While many were glued to news regarding highly-anticipated titles, The Game Awards 2020 also revealed several titles that aren’t as well-known. Now, one game by developer and publisher Digixart caught our attention, seeing as it was one of the more emotional titles.

Road 96 an adventure title that puts a lot of emphasis on its narrative, which is basically about a character who decides to go on a road trip in an attempt to run away from a country with an authoritarian ruler.

During this journey towards freedom, you will be able to learn and discover more and more about Road 96’s main character as well as the different NPCs encountered along the way.

Like most games these days, the choices you make play a huge role and every single decision you make or action you move has a consequence in some form or another. In other words, the outcome of your particular playthrough depends on the in-game characters you choose to interact with, the responses you give, as well as the roads you take.

The fact that you don’t know how the game will end is what makes Road 96 so thrilling. In addition, the title doesn’t skimp on the choices — there’s a bunch of choices you can make and that’s half the appeal of the game. Again, all of these choices can impact how your playthrough turns out.

Most of the time, games such as Road 96 wherein players have to tread through sensitive or difficult subjects have a big and impactful effect, and players mostly come out of the other side a changed person.

Without a doubt, we expect that Road 96 will require players to make incredibly difficult choices that will get them thinking deeply — similar to how Telltale Games develops its games. If you are fortunate enough to make the right choices and make it through, then get ready to strap in for an amazing road trip ahead of you where the main character gets to meet all kinds of people.

Road 96 only has one goal, and that’s to cross the border to ensure that the character is far away as possible from horrible tyrannical rule. Along the way, you’ll get to encounter a variety of characters with different personalities and motives.

Some will be pure of heart while others are the complete opposite, as they have no intention of helping you reach safety. As such, it’s completely up to you to decide if someone is worth trusting or not.

If you’re the type of gamer who’s into narrative-based games, then Road 96 is definitely something you should consider getting as soon as it’s released in 2021. The game’s storyline seems interesting and emotional enough to touch the hearts of those who are playing.
