Road 96 is a procedural narrative adventure where you must escape a country on the brink of collapse and reach the border, thousands of miles away in the mountains.

The country of Petria has gone to hell. The Regime is out of control. Time to escape, head for the border, the free world. The last of your parents' savings in your pocket, thousands of miles at your feet, and a small hope of crossing the border alive.

Hitchhike your way across the country in the first ever procedural narrative game. Meet memorable characters, discover secrets, learn skills, to help you cross the border to freedom.

Road 96 is a homage to road trip movies and series, the films of Tarantino, the Coen Brothers and is filled with ‘90s flavor. You will travel multiple times to discover the games’ secrets and reveal the true personalities of this nation's inhabitants, their unique storylines, hidden connections and maybe change the country through the decisions you make. 

You play as a broke teenager, trying to get freedom and safety past the country border. As you get closer and the summer passes, the plot intensifies, presenting deep moral dilemmas, dark and intense moments, lots of encounters, places, means of travels and crucial choices that might change your initial goal.

Your choices change your adventure, change people, change the world. There are thousands of routes along Road 96. Which one will you take?

“For our third game we wanted to recapture the road movie atmosphere in a video game, a genre that I'm particularly fond of. Our main focus was to recreate the experience of random human encounters, and design an emotional journey that would be both special and fits everyone's tastes. After a lot of prototyping, we managed to build a narrative system that is really promising and powerful.” Yoan Fanise, DigixArt creative director

“We are thrilled to support the incredible vision that Yoan and DigixArt have for Road 96 and what it offers by giving every player a personal ever-evolving journey. Bringing Road 96 to as wide as audience as possible while also offering fans more opportunities to connect with the game in new and engaging ways, such as with OMEN Gaming Hub, is incredibly exciting for us.”  Judy Johnson, OMEN Director Gaming Strategy
