Road to Guangdong is filled with visual charm and personality, combining bold colours with a low poly art style. The visuals are underscored by a score that evokes the 90s setting, and explores the tensions that exist between tradition and modernisation – themes which are at the heart of Sunny and Guu Ma’s story.

Join Sunny and Guu Ma on the journey of a life time, as they travel across China in their aging but beloved family car. Can they maintain their beloved car and overcome their personal history to save the family restaurant?

Drive across China in the beloved but weathered family car, ‘Sandy’. Take care of your tyres, fuel consumption and engine condition as you navigate the beautiful province of Guangdong. An epic journey in such an old car isn’t going to be easy – be prepared to take a look under the hood. Add oil, manage petrol, maintain the engine and build a stock of useful parts to avoid calling out the mechanic.

Road to Guangdong will receive a major overhaul later this week, ahead of a free weekend on Steam.

During the free weekend, the game will be available to purchase and keep for just $4.94.

To follow, a substantial content update will drop within a few days after the free weekend, continuing Sunny and Guu Ma’s journey across Guangdong.

Week of 2 December: Road to Guangdong update launches, making the game feel much more open and seamless, with gas stations now appearing at the side of the road and players having to pull in and pull out of stations. This update also revamps the game’s core inventory and management system, plus elements of the narrative have been re-written.

December 6 – 8: Road to Guangdong free weekend promotion takes place on Steam, alongside a 67% discount.

Week of 9 December: Road to Guangdong receives a substantial content update with new story content, continuing the heartfelt story of Sunny and Guu Ma as they take a road trip across China.

Play as Sunny, a 23-year-old art graduate, as she joins 68-year-old aunt Guu Ma on a road trip to rekindle her family restaurant. Unexpectedly inheriting her family’s restaurant, Sunny is tasked with reigniting relationships, and establishing her place in the family, on her quest to secure and recreate secret recipes.

Navigate narrative puzzles and moral choices as you select dialogue and shape Sunny’s character. Sunny and Guu Ma’s relationship will be tested and evolve throughout a road trip that will change both of their lives.

Road to Guangdong is now available through Steam Early Access at £11.99/$14.99, and will remain so for several months, after which it will arrive on Xbox One in early 2020.
