Road 96 starts in the summer of 1996 in the fictional authoritarian country of Petria. We take on the role of a teenager who wants to leave it. During her travels, the protagonist meets many interesting people, some of whom will want to help her, others not necessarily. The fate of the girl and perhaps the fate of the world depends on our choices.

Digixanrt has paid a lot of attention to creating an eye-catching and pastel-coloured graphic design, and its style reminds us of the game Firewatch.
