Today, indie French studio DigixArt revealed the launch date of its upcoming "procedural road trip" title Road 96. The game is said to offer players an ever-evolving story-driven adventure inspired by Tarantino, The Coen Brothers, and Bong Joon-ho. A new trailer was released for today's announcement:

​

Road 96 is a procedural narrative game with survival elements in which players must escape a country ruled by an authoritarian regime that's on the brink of collapse.

It will be also available as part of the Hitchhiker bundle, which includes the OST featuring 9 artists and an original Game eBook key stories from 10 years before the events happening in the game, for 29.91 USD | EUR.

nvm i just didn't look at the trailer yet.

looks good. i'm hoping it's like an 'every playthrough is different' game or something

I can't say I expected this sort of game to become the indy genre of choice.
I mean I don't object and would rather this than "small child in scary dark world" for the 5000th time. Smashing papers please/this war of mine into the long drive (or maybe Beware, Jalopy) and a dose of Neocab as well as Death Road to Canada... I can see it.

Aww, from the title I was hoping for it to be like Desert Bus

Watching the trailer, that's the vibe I get from it.

I am so excited to see how this turns out. My expectations are very high.

So I guess the title 'Road 69' was already taken.

I imagine that would be a very different game, but perhaps they could still make it procedurally generated.
