Beautiful game with a great take on the narratives, well done to the three of you !
The narrative and voice acting are superb! I like how each details emphasizes the theme, and how coming in terms with things that just don't work anymore was portrayed. Playing this game also feels as if you're watching a short film, it just works. Great work to the team behind this art!
Thank you very much for the feedback!!
Pleasant atmosphere and much more, even more interactions with the car.A pleasant visual part of the game, the gameplay.
i love the story!!
very beautiful game, i chose to exit the heighway and go back, i needed holywood dreams!
I love the narration it is very unique from all the other games so far. The story really kept me hooked. Also nice attention to detail with the mirrors and how they actually reflect!
Thanks for the feedback!! 😊
Very beautiful, very atmospheric, what a great presentation!
Really interesting experience! I got a little distracted trying to keep the car straight because after I touched the controls it seemed impossible to go properly straight again. The narrative was engaging, and Drew has a great narrator voice!
Thanks for the feedback!! I tested it so much without moving the car, by the end I just got used to only moving the mouse 😋
Really got drawn in. Relatable because we're also near LA... and similar circumstances.
I stayed in the right lane.. and the game faded out.. is there more if you decide to head toward LAX?
great job!
Thanks for the feedback!! If you change lanes there's just another text for the ending, but both fade out.
nice! Yeah my gf (who's not a gamer..yet..she did the art for our game and is hooked so it's inevitable) was watching me play and she's like "what that's it?! That's not a game!" And I snapped back with "YES IT IS and it was great!" Then I gave it high ratings while she watched. :D Was the only actually touching experience I've had reviewing submissions so far. So thanks for that. Well done
I'm so glad you liked it!!!
I'm really curious how it'll end for our protag!
Nice narrative game. Pretty rare to see a game that's narrative focused in a jam. The environment looked great as you were driving by and the little slow down effect as the player reached the two possible options was great. The narration was nice as well as the addition of subtitles. The controls tutorial was a really nice addition and the little polish touches were great such as functioning side view mirrors
Thanks for the feedback!!
Great voice acting!
This was a very enjoyable experience. I'm not sure if I made the right decision but it sure felt good!!
The lighting and voice acting was very well done.
The right the decision is the one that doesn't involve taking the curve. F**king curve...
I clung to the past and failed :P
That was fantastic voice acting! I like the way you told the story, and the graphics are crazy good!
Thanks for the feedback!!
Nicely done! Someone has been clearly working hard!
I really like the creepy vibe the game gives off
Maybe 🥺❤
Well, I have to love another game that used the theme as narrative! I tried to do the same, but I feel like yours nailed it.
Like others have also mentioned, the atmosphere is fantastic both visually and the calm, contemplative voice acting.
Even though the actual gameplay is simplistic, I loved the crossroads slow-mo, felt very cinematic and artistic. Oh, and thank god for the respawn button! :)
The respawn button is a must in every game. I never leave home without it!
REALLY good atmosphere for a jam game
Thanks a lot!!
This was a great experience. I would call it more of an interactive story than a game, but the vibe, the voice acting, and the style were fantastic. Thanks for your entry into the jam. I stayed, by the way. Not sure why, LA is a cesspool. :D
Thanks!! I usually tend to go to the airport, that curve is NOT easy to take.
Very interesting approach and atmosphere. Personally, I am a big fan of games like walking simulators, or driving simulators, or anything that provides an opportunity for meditative gameplay with immersion in the atmosphere and story. There were some bugs in road generation - sometimes road sections overlapped each other, or road joints were visible, but overall it was a very atmospheric work.
Thanks!! Yeah, road generation was a bitch, but I'm happy you liked it! :)
This game is amazing
