'Road to Guangdong' (ALL) Also Comes To Switch and PS4, Gets Release Date - Trailer

by Rainier on July 7, 2020 @ 9:00 a.m. PDT

Road to Guangdong is a story-rich management game where you join Sunny and Guu Ma on the journey of a lifetime, as they travel across China in their aging but beloved family car.

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.

“Though diversity and inclusivity are terms that are at the tip of everyone’s tongues today, it is still rar e to see true engagement with it. I know that the game will only be a glimpse into Chinese culture, but I hope that it is enough to open up a new world of experiences that are more engaging on a human level and less about the entertainment tropes that encourag e stereotypes.”

Road to Guangdong will launch on 28 August, available digitally on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PS4.

A special boxed version, including exclusive recipe cards and a booklet will also be available on Nintendo Switch (£24.99 / €29.99), PS4 and PC (£19.99 / €24.99).

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.

Currently available through Steam Early Access, Road to Guangdong is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC (Stea) on August 28, 2020.
