Detours
It’s time to move across the country, and the only person with a car is your ex-partner. Suck up your pride and play through your trip and relationship’s road bumps, obstacles, and detours. Witty dialogue and moments of quiet, human connection are interspersed on a trip that reflects the oddities and struggles of Midwestern drives.
Out now! Artbook and OST available on itch.io.
About
Combining narrative and adventure, this game follows the common pattern in road trips of driving and stopping for breaks. We began our journey in the summer of 2020 for Code Coven's summer program and we released the game on Feb 10, 2021.
For this project, I worked as a narrative designer and writer. I wrote and designed the core game progressions and branching narrative paths. I also wrote and scripted all character dialogue, item descriptions, and pre-game questions.
“Detours” was made by Mismatched Games (Autumn, Kinsey, Roscoe, and Sam) as part of Code Coven's 2020 Summer Program.
