About the Game

On Roads Between is currently in ALPHA and will not be released until complete. Free demos will be available forever but will have limited cross-play with the final game.

Monsters are attacking New Zealand, and the newspaper is paying good money for photos. Grab a camera, a couple mates and your high-school car, to be the first to capitalize on it.

On Roads Between is a co-op horror game set in 1980s New Zealand with a unique papercraft art-style. Drive anywhere from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South to capture anomalies and Lovecraftian horrors on fresh film.

On Roads Between features a massive map (won't be in demo, still squashing bugs,) where you can drive from town to town. Restock and replenish your items in the small towns before venturing out into the native bush to get paid. Keep your car topped up and repaired, just in case you need a quick getaway.

You can drive almost anywhere, and where you can't, you can hike. Keep in mind that you drop your items when you die, so don't go too far from you camp.

Camps are how you respawn friends, save progress and pass the time. This is the 1980s, so you have to pass time by playing instruments, sports and maybe a few pranks on your friends. Remember, time flies when you're having fun.

Soon enough, night will fall. And with it, monsters and anomalies will be more common. Get your cameras ready, and hope you have enough spare film to catch them all. And don't worry if a Scuttler or a Merchant takes you out. You can still help your friends from beyond the grave.

With your new found dough, put together the slickest outfit you can. Stick stickers all over your character to build a unique look. Yes, I know what you guys will do with this feature, and you can disable seeing other's custom costumes. Please don't make me regret adding this.

Also, I am going to look into making the stickers tradable, with a foil and aging system. Keep an eye out for rare stickers, because you might be the only one in the world to have it.
