The brevity of scenes means it’s possible to have a complete adventure within the space of an hour
The journey, not the destination. That’s what a good road trip is supposed to be about, isn’t it? But while DigixArt’s game has plenty of tales to tell along the way, it has its eye firmly on the end of the road. The multiple trips you take across Petria are always headed for the same terminus: the country’s northern border.
It seems that the entire teenaged population of Petria has had the same idea. As you travel, you meet a selection of itinerant under-20s, all of them headed north. You play as a few of them, too. At the beginning of each session, you pick a new teenager from a selection of three silhouettes, differentiated only by their distance from the border, the contents of their wallet and their remaining stamina. Then you lead them to the border and, hopefully, across it.
