How does your game fit the theme?
It gives you the literal atmosphere/experience of the calm before an actual storm. And the story itself is portraying the calm before the eventual final decision of the game (the storm)
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Code yes. For assets we used a lot of online stuff

I'm a sucker for late night drives while contemplating shit. I really liked the atmosphere of this game. I do also agree that adding more sound effects would increase the feel of the game. Would be cool if there were more people we could talk to on the phone and maybe hear their stories or experiences.
I agree about the more conversations with people/more people to talk to. I personally don't know if I will keep working on this as I have other ideas of games, but Dan might(not definitely, just a maybe) continue working on it. Thanks for playing!
I'm a sucker for relaxing driving games. The files doesn't seem to work, if you are able to fix it I'm more than willing to give this game a go.
Cheers!
Thank you, we just updated it!
Nice! I'm glad you've made it.
So I've played it till the -I'm assuming- end three times. The atmosphere is great, I wish there were more sounds though (maybe muffled raindrops, the engine of the car etc.). I have recently tried to makea driving game and I must say, the way you guys handled the driving was pretty smart, but it kinda feels off at the start.
The phone mechanic was interesting and gives you a subtle message about driving while looking at your phone. I explored all the messages and apps in it and it was nice, good work on the fred's voice too!
Spoilers for people who haven't played!
I can't seem to be able to call Fred back though. I always end up in the dead end side of the road. I tried to steer left to the main road, but it seems impossible. And the two choices in that road only lead to the game over screens. If I choose keep driving I die in an accident, if I choose to call Fred, the game immediately returns to the main menu (which isn't there when you first start the game) and there's a tip that says you shouldn't use your phone while drivinig. Maybe I missed something?
Overall, this game looks promising! With the right amount of polish, it can deliver a simple but powerful story.
Good work, cheers!
Thank you for leaving feedback, and we are glad you enjoyed it! The ending was kind of slapped on at the end because of time, so I apologize for that. As for Fred, the original idea was that there would be more voicemails and messages that would continue the story, and you would be able to call Fred back, but again, we couldn't do that because of time. Thank you so much for playing, and have a great rest of your day! :)
I tried to give this game a go but I don't think the playable build is in the files uploaded. If you upload a new build please give me a reply and I'll come back for it!
Thanks so much for trying. We uploaded the correct version today! Thanks!
