Wheels of Aurelia 1978. is a visual novel based on different moments in time during Lella's travels with Olga and other hitchhikers found along the way. Released on all platforms in 2016. by Santa Ragione.

In this short visual novel, we take the role of Lella, while driving a car through Italy. The game is really short, each of the 16 endings can be finished in 15 minutes. Along the way you will meet different hitchhikers and characters that want to race you, where after winning the race, you'll get a new, faster car to use.
The story isn't voice acted, so you have to read everything while trying not to crash on every corner since the driving part of the game is terrible, the graphics are acceptable, but on higher resolutions they are blurry. The only thing I liked in this game is the Italian music on the radio.
The story isn't really engaging enough for me to try to get all 16 endings, it does point out some social aspects from that time, but they're executed poorly.

All in all, for those who want to get all achievements it is a short and easy game, but you're not going to have any fun while doing it. For others, it's not worth it.
