You find yourself driving down a foggy forest road when suddenly something changes...

Follow along to the radio to find your path and seek out the winning numbers to the radio station's "contest of a lifetime."

The main thing to listen out for are the road directions. The winning numbers are recorded down for you. Apologies for the lack of subtitles. Be careful as the car CAN be flipped if you turn too sharply, and that does require a restart sadly. You can press P to skip dialogue if needed.

I really like the concept but crashed in to the wall and got stuck lol!

I enjoyed playing this game but the whole time I was expecting something unusual to happen and it was giving me a weird feeling; fortunately I didn't encounter any jump scares so I'm currently feeling safe :D Nice job

Oooh, this really gave me twilight-zone vibes. All the way through, I felt totally unsettled! Really appreciated the Easter egg station on my second play-through. :rofl: Seriously amazing work for such a short amount of time!! Bravo!!

Ahaha, I saw "the car can be flipped" and with the driving took that as a challenge rather than a warning, lol. I really liked this vehicle (as it were) for storytelling. Steering is a little wonky for sure, but the atmosphere is great and I enjoyed it!

This is a really great and unique idea, I think it took a lot of creativity and talent to implement this as well as you did. Thoroughly enjoyed!

This kept me engaged the whole way through, I was 100% excpecting a jump scare though and at one point i heard a weird sound and thought for sure there was like a ufo behind me lmao, i dig it

Thanks for the kind words❤️

I did want to add more scary/moody elements but ran out of time. If the sampled number clips weren't obvious I definitely took some inspiration from David Lynch lol. Gonna play a bunch of others' games tonight!

A really enjoyable game, the turning seems to get a bit aggressive at times, but other than that thoughroughly enjoyed it, well done on a great entry.

Great entry! For me it really swayed between cozy night / scary night. Anytime the radio went silent it got scary :laughing:

This has such an immersive feel in fullscreen. The ending is really surreal too :) Two times I tuned in to a station and the static went away but there was no announcements, so I just picked a path and went with it, fortunately guessed correctly.

A neat little adventure. I was expecting a monster to attack me.

Creepy little game, I like the core concept a lot and the driving is smooth. I beat the game but there was no real ending? Not sure what happened there. The game loop was pretty meat. changing stations and driving at night, extremely moody. It felt like it was just a little bit too long but other than that I liked it a lot. Good work.

Great feeling while you're playing this game. But quite a few times I've reached the forks and didn't have any radio messages on where to turn (even though I was on right radio channel), kinda weird. Too sharp controls of course, but otherwise pretty interesting. However more interaction with player is definitely needed. Good luck! Thanks!

Was expecting the game to turn to horror at any moments, especially after the night appearing suddenly at the beginning and the cracked phone screen. The idea of a quite chill road trip with the narrative being done through the radio is really good. Though it felt a bit long as the environment was too repetitive and there was no real interaction except switching radio stations and following the road.
