Final Entry: Night Cruising
Here is a game, it’s a narrative about a man who has lost something, and is trying to replace it.
Drive down the highway, taking stops along the way. Arrows are all
you need for driving, and use spacebar for story sequences.
You get points for:
1- travelling KM
2- passing cars
3- bonuses
The game is (should be) winnable, I haven’t won it yet but everything
is in place. I’ll have to try it tomorrow just to make sure.
No sound effects, only one type of vehicle, and some other ideas
that I had for it didn’t make it in, but overall I’m quite happy.
Enjoy!
PS: If you’ve got the song “Night Cruising” by Fishmans, that would be
an excellent soundtrack.

this is the most retarded game that i have ever played. it defies any concept of game design or fun, and at the same time it is BRILLIANT. the writing is fantastic, and the concept of using a simple arcade premise to deliver an abstract narrative is excellent, and i have aligned more with the character and the environment than any other game. sure it has its flaws, but night cruising is either the product of a genius or an idiot. if the atmosphere was fleshed out more. and there was more of an objective and narrative than just winning points, Psysal could be on to something great…

I liked it, but there seems to be a bug which apparently makes it unwinnable. No exits ever seem to spawn from range roads or county roads. This seems to be caused by the fact that you only allow exits when the number of lanes is more than 1, and those roads have one lane almost all the time.
