Independent game studio, Drop Bear Bytes, is proud to reveal their upcoming isometric RPG, Broken Roads, is a finalist at the Game Development World Championship 2023 Winter Season for the Best Studio Award – celebrating the best commercial game of the Season made by larger development teams.
Broken Roads is a narrative-driven RPG that brings exploration, strategic turn-based combat and meaningful philosophical choices to an all-new Australian post-apocalyptic setting. Broken Roads skillfully blends traditional and all-new role-playing elements on top of a classless system offering near-unlimited character development options built around four philosophies: Humanist, Utilitarian, Machiavellian, and Nihilist. Furthermore the game presents players with an original morality system: the Moral Compass, which sees dialogue options and questing decisions influence, and be influenced by, a character’s philosophical leaning and the tough decisions they make along the way.
Broken Roads’ locations are all authentic recreated from the team visiting towns and landmarks in West Australia and taking photos, videos and audio recordings for it to be as true as possible. Furthermore, even the game’s atmospheric soundtrack composed by Tim Sunderland is composed with instruments constructed from everyday objects which brings a wholly unique and distinctive tone to the game.
You can wishlist Broken Roads for PC via Steam right now as well as play the free demo. For more information, visit Instagram, X-Twitter, and Discord.
