Interesting concept that sets up a really evocative impression of a late-night hitchhike that maybe is a little more than the driver expected. Dialogue on top of maintaining a passive driving action, Desert Bus style, makes for a nice gameplay loop. Super interested to see what comes of this guy and his unusual story!
Thanks for submitting Deadhead Haul to the jam!
This is really fun and well made, congrats! The dialogue is well written, very spooky game.
Creepy game. I think I went through the dialogue quicker than you expected because there were some loong stretches of driving between events for me.
The dialogue was fun, characters were creepy. The driving mechanic was neat as well. It might have been nice to have had more oncoming traffic, though. Also, the engine audio was a bit much.
Overall, good game. Reminds me of some classic horror stories.
Really good game and fun game! It is a good idea and I liked a little tension built up before the police chase! Hope you make something longer like this it would be fun to play!
Really cool! Loved the mechaninc of needing to watch the road while it still felt like I wanted to keep an eye on the hitchhiker, really great idea that I think you should expand on, super spooky! :)

I'm not sure if I had a bug or not but at one point the conversation just ended and nothing happened for a minute or 2 so as any normal person would do I took a hard left and crashed both me and the hitchhiker into the sun. Overall I really like the theme of the game I always love me a good hitchhiker horror story keep up the great work :D
Nice game, had a interesting story. Got the good ending so I think he was carrying a dead body.,
Great game! Love the art style, and the misleading hints the hitchhiker drops throughout the drive, it definitely adds to the suspense. I had a small issue with the camera being only able to look to the left instead of the right at one point but that was likely just caused by the cursor not being disabled. Awesome work ! :)
It sounds to me like that issue the cursor is not being captured in the browser version of the game, and can hit the boundaries of your screen. Something we plan to fix. Thank you for the report!
Our writer, Cole, did an excellent job with the dialogue, and I am glad to hear you enjoyed it. He wrote much more that did not make it into the game, but will make it into a later release, so stay tuned! :)
Thanks so much for playing!
