About the Game

Nothing but desert wind, cactuses and the scribes writing down your every move for miles.

HeatStroke is barely a game and could only really be enjoyed by masochists, tasking you to transcribe an entire short story while driving down a seemingly endless desert road.

  • An excess of typing.
  • A landscape that grows progressively stranger.
  • A dynamic radio you can tune into at any time.
  • An original short story.
  • Absolutely no save function.
