Heading Out

Heading Out

Flee your fear and carve your story. Blaze a trail across mythic American highways, where choices twist your tale and danger’s always in the rearview mirror. With roguelike routes, limited resources, and breakneck chases, this isn’t just a drive—it’s your legend in the making.

“Came for retro atmosphere and a good road story. Got repetitive gameplay, shallow racing, and more political agenda than actual content. The art style is cool. Everything else underwhelms.”
