My biggest gripe with the game is its artstyle - the combination of hand-drawn character models with environments and interactable objects that might as well be taken straight from the Unity Asset Store felt off and I wish the developers had come up with a better way to combine the early 2000’s nostalgia evoking cartoons and the plain, ubiquitous 3D assets. Other than that, I was left quite satisfied with ‘Open Roads’ - for most of its 3 hour ‘runtime’ I felt almost as if I was watching a Sundance indie movie. The mystery at the center of the plot isn’t particularly high stakes, but it doesn’t need to be - it provides a good excuse for a mother-daughter road trip where they can bond and learn more about each other. The dialogue is mostly well-written and the two voice actresses work really well together.
