  • Narrative
  • Choices
  • Road trip

It's the summer of 1996 and you guide several teenagers fleeing an authoritarian country towards the border: on foot, hitchhiking, by bus or by taxi, keeping an eye on their money and energy. Your choices sway an election and the ending.

Why play it now

When you have an hour to spare: according to Analog Stick Gaming, each trip to the border takes about that long.

Who it's for

For fans of choice-driven adventures, with characters who keep turning up and minigames between conversations.

When not to pick it

If heavy-handed political messages tire you, or replaying scenes to reach other endings does.
