Short and sweet. Open Roads is relaxed and feels a little like a visual novel. Felt the central mystery was interesting and resolved in a satisfying way.

As Tess you explore your environments and examine items to learn more about your relationships and family history. After exploring an area, the story progresses based on chats with your mother, Opal, and texting on your phone.

You will usually have several different dialogue options in conversations. Choices don't seem to impact the overall story/conclusion but can lead to greater insights into family secrets along the way.

7'5/10. I waited for this for years. Was so excited when it first got announced, and then I went into doom mode thinking, with all the issues that arose in Fullbright, that his would never see the light of day. But I'm so glad I was wrong!

It's exactly what I wanted it and expected it to be. It scratches the same kind of itches Gone Home did (And I LOVED Gone Home, AND Tacoma), but the voice acting in this one definitely made the experience different enough, but still exactly as sweet.

I guess it's not a game for everyone. You just go around, pick up stuff, read notes, talk to your mom about the history of your small family, and the end is just... It just ends, and you don't really know what happens to the characters. But as I always say, isn't that exactly how life is?

I think it's a really good game, short, full of charm, and if you're into walking simulators I totally recommend it.

I can only recommend it, so go and play it yourself.
