Open Roads is an adventure game inspired by the road movies. The game was developed by The Fullbright Company, known for Gone Home.
The game tells the story of a 16-year-old girl named Tess Devine who goes on a car trip to discover the secrets of her grandmother's life. In the journey she is accompanied by her mother, Opal.
While tidying up her dead grandmother's things, Tess found her diary. According to it, the woman had many secrets and her life was very different from what her granddaughter imagined. The notes mention a series of thefts and treasure hidden somewhere near the Canadian border. So the girl and her mother go on an expedition to discover the truth.
Open Roads is a narrative adventure, focusing mainly on telling an interesting story. We spend most of the game in the car, where thanks to an advanced conversation mechanics we slowly reveal new facts from the past and slowly get to know additional information and characters.
Players can also interact with elements inside the car (e.g. radio) and a diary. The plot is highly ambiguous. The characters often hide important facts and use half truths, so it takes a lot of effort to discover the truth.
Open Roads offers single player mode only.
The game has an attractive three-dimensional graphic design made in a cartoon style. An additional attraction is that the characters are dubbed by actresses Kaitlyn Dever (known, among others, from the TV series Unbelievable and the film Booksmart) and Keri Russell (The Americans and Felicity).
