Finally played Road 96 and I was hooked, finished it in three evenings, it was awesome!
I’m looking for recommendations of games with this main feature: replayability with different paths/choices that allows npc related story meta progression
Sorry for the convoluted description but hopefully you get what I mean. I don’t remember playing a game with such a structure before, where you’re playing different teenagers but meeting a recurring cast and seeing how they evolve. It was awesome, it’s kind of a rogue lite, but also more story / visual novel focused.
I guess Hades would fit? But I’m not necessarily looking for games with more emphasis on the roguelike part, nor a fully story focused game like Life is Strange, just the right mix between the two 🤔
I’ve always heard good things about it, thank you for the suggestion!
The way the turn based combat plays out is not for everyone - it didn’t vibe with me personally - so don’t feel bad if you end up playing it on Easy just for the story.
Everything besides the combat is absolutely phenomenal, though. Beautiful hand drawn art, gorgeous music and a very well written story with a somber and melancholy tone that has plenty of interesting characters - and many impactful choices for the player that leads to actual consequences one way or another.
