Road 96
Achievement guide · roadmap · tracker
Road 96 is a crazy, beautiful road-trip. The discovery of exciting places, and unusual people on your own personal journey to freedom. An ever-evolving story-driven adventure inspired by Tarantino, The Coen Brothers, and Bong Joon-ho. Moments of action, exploration, contemplative melancholy, human encounters and wacky situations. Set against a backdrop of authoritarian rule and oppression. A stunning visual style, a soundtrack filled with 90s hits, and a thousand routes through the game combine so each player can create their own unique stories on Road 96.
Road 96 is a stylised, procedurally-woven road-trip adventure: it's 1996 in the authoritarian state of Petria, and you play a string of teenagers all trying to reach the border at Road 96, meeting the same cast of drifters, cops and rebels along the way. Your small choices ripple into the country's fate. Around 8-10 hours.
Most achievements come naturally as you play through several journeys - reaching Road 96, meeting the characters, seeing Petria's fate. A handful are one-off actions that are missable on a given run (pet the cat, call home, blow on the campfire, donate to a campaign), and two are grinds: reach Road 96 six times, and add three stones to the cairn (one per visit). The big one is Collect 'em All - all 18 cassette tapes, which spawn randomly, so save-scum on the spot and know that progress carries into New Game+.
