Watch the Road (DEMO)

About This Game

you're just a humble trucker, used to the lonely roads.

deliver the cargo, follow the route, make quick stops if needed. that's the crux of your typical schedule.

but tonight, a blizzard hails down on you. while you're exhausted, none the less!

through the snow, your headlights glint on something--wait, no,

someone

.

a man stands by the roadside with his hand raised. a hitchhiker.

at this hour? in this

weather

?

will you give him a ride, and if so, how far are you willing to go for a stranger?
