Dead End Road, how far are you willing to go for one wish? ㅤ The premise of Dead End Road is simple. You are tasked with an ancient ritual that requires specific ingredients, which you have to collect by traveling from town to town in your car and buying the required objects. All while trying not to die from a car crash, go insane, or simply run out of fuel. The money you're given is limited, making it necessary that every decision is made wisely. ㅤ But where the game really charms is in its uniqueness, pixelated style, and trial and error mechanics. The latter might be hit or miss with some players, but the rest still carries it nonetheless. ㅤ The driving itself is simplistic. You steer with A and D and accelerate or decelerate with W and S, trying to dodge obstacles that include random trash, other cars, and people. Meanwhile, the game constantly tries to throw you off with scares that vary from monsters appearing on the road to simple loud noises. It essentially becomes a fight with yourself to stay focused on the driving while not getting spooked enough to crash. ㅤ The art style complements the above mentioned scares extremely well. The fleshy monsters simply look way better in a pixelated environment than they would somewhere else, giving the game even more of its own identity. ㅤ A clear point of contention the game has is its gameplay. As mentioned, it's pretty trial and error, but it doesn't help that winning sometimes feels up to RNG, especially when it comes to being able to afford everything and actually reaching the end. It took me three almost perfect tries to even finish the game, not counting all the flawed attempts before them. I personally think that's okay, but it might still be a major turn off for other players and leave a sour taste. ㅤ Overall, an extremely unique and interesting concept that warrants its price and positive rating.

7/10 [EN] Cursed Driving Every run can be different, and a few things can be based on luck, like the Scratch Cards and the dark alleys (which makes you wonder if it's really worth the risk). The old lady asks you for three items, so make sure you remember to collect them. This game has two endings (if you don't die on the way), so it will depend on whether you retrieve them or not. The runs are short. You can replay and retry. [PT] Condução Amaldiçoada Cada jogada pode ser diferente, e algumas coisas dependem da sorte, como as Raspadinhas e os becos escuros (o que faz-vos pensar se vale mesmo a pena correrem o risco). A velhinha pede três itens, por isso lembrem-se de os colectarem. Este jogo tem dois finais (se não morrerem no caminho), pelo que tudo dependerá de os conseguirem ou não recolher. As jogadas são curtas. Podem jogar novamente e tentar de novo.

incredibly good but unfortunately niche game. the gameplay loop is pretty simple. drive around, try not to die or go insane which will probably also lead to u dying and get to the end with good enough items to be allowed into the ritual. it really isnt more than that. you just need to get a little lucky to get the right items and/or enough money and simply try to stay alive til the end. the atmosphere is a little spooky and so are the events, but it does lose it's effects after a while. there's several different endings triggerable by specific words and all they do is show different ending texts/stories but its still pretty cool to see it's a very good game for it's price but trying to find stuff about it online is a pain because it's so niche, i genuinely hope this changes one day! 8/10, would recommend!

Solid game. It has a creepy atmosphere and pretty unique gameplay. On top of that, I really love the graphics personally. The game definitely had some good ideas. In my opinion, a few things could have been executed a bit better, especially since some parts can be quite frustrating. Overall though, it was still a very good experience.
