Annapurna Interactive is a pretty prolific video game publisher, even though it’s relatively young as a company. It’s already worked on several significant titles such as\u00a0Journey\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Outer Wilds<\/em>, and it’s going strong overall. One studio that Annapurna has partnered with before is The Fullbright Company<\/a>, which produced the first person adventure game\u00a0Gone Home.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now, Annapurna and Fullbright are working together on\u00a0Open Roads,\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>a mystery game focused on a mother and daughter exploring their family’s complicated past. Details on\u00a0Open Roads<\/em> are pretty scarce right now, but it sounds like it’ll be exploring family ties and what happens when unfamiliar ancestors leave behind baggage for descendants to unpack.<\/p>\n

Open Roads<\/em> does sound a little bit like a completely different game involving family ties.\u00a0God of War\u00a0<\/em>fans probably remember the franchise’s most recent entry, in which Kratos has aged up significantly and has a son to raise. The relationship between Kratos and Atreus<\/a> was a huge focal point of\u00a0God of War,\u00a0<\/em>and the game got a lot of praise for exploring the father-son relationship.\u00a0Open Roads<\/em> clearly wants to do the same thing through a different\u00a0lens of gameplay. The relationship between Tess and Opal Devine will be at the core of everything that happens in\u00a0Open Roads.<\/em><\/p>\n

God of War<\/em>‘s Norse setting<\/a> was full of treachery and danger. It was imperative that Kratos and Atreus work together to survive, even though they didn’t always see eye to eye. Although players see their relationship through Kratos’ eyes the entire time, that means they have more intimate insight on Kratos’ struggle to adapt to the responsibilities of fatherhood.\u00a0Open Roads<\/em> will probably play on some of the same themes of\u00a0God of War<\/em>: only by pushing past their differences and learning to work together can the parent-child pair accomplish their goals.<\/p>\n

Open Roads<\/em> will take a shot at this type of story in a very different way. It’s a mystery game, so it probably won’t be focused on teamwork in battle. Even if there’s no combat, there’s probably still going to be danger to over come, though. A thieves’ treasure won’t be found easily. Additionally, the player character is Tess Devine, the daughter in\u00a0Open Roads<\/em>‘ mother-daughter relationship.\u00a0Open Roads<\/em> might be tonally different from\u00a0God of War<\/em> in some ways<\/a> since the perspective is flipped, compared to Kratos in God of War<\/em>. Even so, the teased tension between Tess and Opal means that the game may share\u00a0a lot of the same themes as\u00a0God of War<\/em> at heart.<\/p>\n

There’s not a slew of games that focus on the relationships within families. However, Fullbright has the necessary experience to get it right. Its previous project,\u00a0Gone Home<\/em>, received\u00a0critical acclaim for its nuanced and sensitive exploration of familial relationships, and what can make or break a family.\u00a0Open Roads<\/em> is probably being designed<\/a> with a lot of the same spirit. Over the course of the game, Tess and Opal’s quest to visit family landmarks and unearth treasures will become the stage where they hash out issues plaguing them, long before they ever started diving into Opal’s past.<\/p>\n

God of War: Ragnarok\u00a0<\/em>is bound to find new ways to explore Kratos and Atreus’ relationship. With a name like “Ragnarok,”\u00a0it sounds like they’ll need each other more than ever.\u00a0Open Roads\u00a0<\/em>doesn’t set up huge stakes quite like\u00a0God of War<\/em> does, but that doesn’t make the small, local stakes of a family in turmoil any less important or moving. Fullbright has a great opportunity to tell a moving story about when two normal people setting their differences aside to achieve something important to both of them.\u00a0God of War<\/em> and\u00a0Open Roads<\/em> might seem like an unlikely pair on the surface, but anyone who enjoyed the narrative of\u00a0God of War<\/em><\/a> should consider giving\u00a0Open Roads<\/em> a try.<\/p>\n

Open Roads<\/em><\/strong> will release in 2021 for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X\/S.<\/p>\n
