The game has a beautiful, simple, yet emotionally capturing artstyle, which highlights the world around, experienced by teens, elegantly.
How accurate some of the movements of landscape, cars, trucks, characters, are? They aren't always the best, but it doesn't matter, because the core of it all matters, rather than if the tires of a truck move correctly.

- 4.5/5

The design, and the mechanics of the game are very integrated to the visuals, making a smooth experience.
And the idea that every single trip is different, based on your choices, it makes the game feel like...it lives.
Very, very, very rarely, the options float with some very rapidly moving characters, possibly making you misclick at the wrong option that you didn't want to choose, but this is, as I said, is quite rare, so it will not affect the rating.

- 5/5

As for sound design, I do not know anything about sound design in general, but I do like the voice actors! >X3

- 4/5

And at last, but not least, the story. SPOILER FREE!
I think, the story is so memorable, rebellious, fun, and even, very beautiful.
All of the characters have very touching backgrounds, and as they are not superheroes, they are just ordinary people, making the characters feel very real and living.
The idea of making the game about teens, people who should be having fun with friends and growing up in a safe place, gives the feeling of extreme empathy towards the characters.
Amazing slow worldbuilding which makes you immerse in to the mysterious and twisted world of Petria.

- 5/5


The game is an artistically beautiful and immersive game, filled with beautiful moments, hard choices, and fun interactions. The game goes deep under you skin, as you create an emotional bond with the characters. For now, I think this is, in my opinion, the best game ever.






this is 1984 orwell ahh in 1996

**7.5/10**

Road 96 has some of the best atmosphere I've experienced in a game. The scenery, music, road trip feeling, and overall vibe are incredibly relaxing and often make the journey itself more enjoyable than the destination. Traveling through Petria and experiencing the different locations creates a unique sense of freedom that few games manage to capture.

The rest of the game is more mixed. The characters are decent and some moments are memorable, but the overall story and character development range from average to good rather than exceptional. The main plot is interesting enough to keep you playing, though it wasn't the strongest part of the experience for me.

If you're looking for a game with beautiful atmosphere, relaxing moments, and a memorable road-trip adventure, Road 96 is definitely worth playing.

**Score: 7.5/10**
