Upcoming post-apocalyptic title Broken Roads made an appearance at this year’s Gamescom week. Team17 and Drop Bear Bytes expect to release it on Steam and various console platforms sometime next year.
Broken Roads aims to be a narrative-rich experience set in Western Australia, which is even more post-apocalyptic than usual. The isometric role-playing game includes real-world locations and Australian points of interest that serve as immersive background for the world and its survivors.
The Moral Compass acts as the game’s morality system. There are four major schools of thought and philosophies: Humanism, Utilitarianism, Machiavellianism, and Nihilism. Each brings unique traits to gameplay. At the start of Broken Roads, players will answer a few questions to determine where they start on the compass. As they make choices throughout the game, it will shift in different directions to accommodate your character’s evolving worldview. This has an impact on quests, dialogue, and, naturally, your character playstyle and development.
One can Wishlist and follow Broken Roads now on Steam through the official Steam page. You can also follow the official Twitter account to get the latest from the team. Don’t forget to watch the trailer which debuted yesterday, linked for your convenience.
