Desolate Roads is a first-person psychological horror vignette. You’ve run out of gas in the middle of nowhere, and all you can see are empty roads, a dark forest, and the endless thick and strangling fog.

About the Game

Desolate Roads is a short first-person psychological horror vignette.

Your car runs out of gas in the middle of nowhere - a nowhere that’s full of many kinds of nothing. Empty roads, a dark forest, endless thick and strangling fog, and an even darker nothing beyond. You have no choice but to explore this seemingly forgotten place alone.


The game can be completed in under an hour - but we hope your brief time in this world will stick with you for much longer.
