There’s something about long car journeys with a loved one that facilitates deep conversations. A cosy mystery game with a lot of heart, Open Roads (the newest release from indie game publisher Annapurna) is about love, family, the journey – and being really, really nosy.
Open Roads opens with Tess packing up her room. It’s the summer of 2003: the school newspaper on the desk is memorialising 9/11, Tess’s work shirt shows she works at a video store (those halcyon pre-Netflix days) and has an impressive collection of novelty fruit-shaped erasers.
