About the Game

The drive home was supposed to be the easy part.

In this psychological horror driving simulator, you are the only thing standing between a safe arrival and a descent into madness. Trapped behind the wheel during the loneliest hours of the night, you must manage your vehicle, your surroundings, and your own deteriorating mental state to make it back to your wife before midnight.

Core Gameplay Features

  • Managing Sanity: Your mind is your worst enemy. As the darkness closes in, you begin to lose your sense of reality. You must complete objectives to maintain your sanity.

  • Managing Fatigue: As exhaustion sets in, you will experience the Blinding Astigmatism Effect. Oncoming headlights and streetlamps stretch into agonizing, screen-filling streaks of light that obscure the road. You must resort to drastic actions to keep your eyes open. Begin by slapping yourself to regain focus, but as your body grows numb to the impact, you are forced to turn to darker means.

  • Point-and-click: Search every inch of your car’s interior. Find items, interact with everything, and find hints and tools to help you survive the trip.

  • Multi-Tasking: Driving is only half the battle. You must manage shifting objectives, pulling up your phone, responding to texts, helping Grandma set up her router, dialing the phone, recharging your headlights, checking your mirrors for things that shouldn't be there, all while staying awake and keeping your car on the road.

  • Atmospheric Aesthetics: Experience the dread of the dark road through a unique, high-contrast pixel art style and a soundtrack designed to heighten your isolation.

Can you survive?

The road is dark, and the journey is long. Don't take your eyes off the road.
