Description

One fine fall day, Tess Devine and her mother, Opal, discover a cache of old notes and letters carefully stashed away in the attic of their house. Hints of deep-rooted family secrets, decades-old burglaries, a lost treasure somewhere near the Canadian border... What they uncover suggests a much darker mystery, best left well enough alone.

But that’s not going to happen.

In Open Roads, Tess and Opal embark on a road trip adventure to explore a series of long-abandoned family properties, unearthing the past. They’ll search the ruins of these places that hold buried memories, things Opal has tried for years to forget. And in this search, they'll discover not just the truth they've been seeking, but each other.

Featuring star performances by Keri Russell (The Americans, Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker) and Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart, Uncharted 4).

Features:
• Experience the story of Open Roads as 16-year-old Tess Devine, on a road trip with her mother to discover what has been left behind in evocative places forgotten to time.
• Bask in classic road trip vibes as you chill in the car en route to your next destination, fiddling with the radio and chatting with your mom.
• A groundbreaking art style melds detailed first-person environments with beautifully hand-animated characters, bringing the adventure to life.
• A unique and engaging interactive dialogue system moves the narrative along, exposing character flaws, secrets, and buried truths.

It tries hard to appeal to your emotions and sense of melancholy to make the experience feel meaningful, but it doesn’t really deliver. The gameplay feels empty. There’s little real mystery or challenge. It mostly comes

Cute little walking sim with some emotion. It's very slow. I never found myself bored, but I would've like a sprint button or something. The walking speed is just a bit slow for my preference. One of the more subtle

This is like a solid 5.2/10. It has just enough interesting character work and story progression to angle my thumb just barely above the horizontal, but it's also got extremely cringe dialogue that feels like a

I am a big fan of walking simulators, with Gone Home and Tacoma being some of my favourite examples of environmental storytelling, so I was hyped to try Open Roads by the same developers. It’s hard for me to say how the

So... Open Roads - the game I really wanted to enjoy, but unfortunately I did not really. To preface, the game is really short, which is not necessarily a bad thing if handled well, but important to note nonetheless. I
