ROAD HOMEWARD

UPDATE (nov. 27. 2019): The dev made a completely new version. The game is still short, but the graphics are fantastic. You need to play it. UPDATE (dec. 21. 2018) The dev. updated the game and it is much more playable now. Still many situations where the car can get stuck, but you learn this positions and can avoid it next time. I have to say, i had lots of fun now, playing the game, finding the right way. So i recommend it now for a buy. But keep in mind, it is still buggy and the english voice is hard to understand. But the gameplay is something fresh and nice. I hope the dev. will fix the remaining problems, but he is on the right way. New gameplay video (sorry for the bad quality): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weD6DQAVdUw Outdated first review: I really can not say much about this game. You are driving a car in a foggy night on a field of planks between rocks. But every time i move a few metres the car stucks on anything which is near. Then, it needs a level reload. Tw...

The dulcet tones of solemn russian man's voice sets the tone for an adventure of a lifetime. Beset by fog on all sides, a car lazily drifts down a field of planks wedged between the solid rock of the cliffs of FATE! One wrong move and the car will become stuck, no way to escape. Is this the end of the game, did it bug out? Or are you meant to sit and contemplate your own existence? You be the judge 10/10 a game for teh thinking man (or woman)

So first off, let me start off by saying, I bought this game and didn't read that the English language was not supported. So yes, opening the game at first I was a bit confused why I couldn't select English, not sure why they even put that as an option. lol Once I got playing though, I'm glad I didn't have to tweak any visual settings or anything to get this game running. I got to part 2, and I crashed. Not knowing the language this game was using, the real challenge was just trying to get reset. After about 2 minutes of figuring it out, I finally got reset and I found out it resets you to the beginning- but that wasn't the real challenge, the real challenge was just figuring out how to restart. Besides the language barrier, and the inverted controls, I could not make it past the third part probably because the dude tells you what to do, but obviously I didn't know much further. Went down somewhere where I couldn't get back up out of from.

It`s quite nice. You search on each map the exit which spawns you to the next of the 5 or 6 maps (that I went through). The maps are openworld so you can do a bit of exploration besides the actual task to find your home. This task is not that difficult:( I didn`t get lost that often. The hitboxes are sometimes bad and the mapdesign somtimes boring. Instead of just a flat way there could be way more offroad stuff in your way. The playthrough happened in 25 minutes. And i did sometimes have to respawn because i jumped on a high obsticle or because of a fence pice which rolled me, when I was speeding over it. So you could do a fast run in maybe 15 minutes or so. The physics are good and thanks to the openworld design you have some replayability. But don`t expect it to be played regulary. I bought it for 65 cents in a discount. The 3 € are a bit much for this game so I would say: what for a discount and then get it.

If you love grinding to get a move just so you will devour this game. That said, for me the tunnel drive from the in car perspective was the best part. I kept getting stuck in the same place on the rickety span so I called it a day. Still, if you love that sort of thing you'll enjoy this and the tunnel is a not miss.

Update (December 31, 2018) - I would like to say that the developer is very responsive and passionate about making video games. I was able to make it past the troublesome spot. Reminds me of the Souls series, unforgiving but, rewarding once you master the area. Normally, I would not write reviews on games but I feel this could be a great game if more constructive critism is offered. Please, please fix the issue of getting stuck. I cannot get past the first thirty seconds as I keep getting stuck. My suggestion would be to start out "easy" / tutorial of sorts that gets progressively more difficult. This is so the player can get used to how hard it can be to control the vehicle. Otherwise, keep up the work as releasing a game is better than not finishing one... I know. :( I would recommend others to play the game as we can make it great. Note to developer - Offer a demo of a first level. Else, I would not recommend it until it is more polished.
