broken roads skillfully combines traditional and all-new role-playing elements atop a classless system that offers nearly limitless character development options based on four philosophies: humanistic, utilitarian, Machiavellian, and nihilistic. Furthermore, the game offers players an original morality system: the moral compass, in which dialogue options and decisions about quests influence and are influenced by a character’s philosophical inclinations and the difficult decisions they make along the way. Plus, the in-game locations are all authentically recreated from the team that visits cities and landmarks in Western Australia, taking photos, videos and audio recordings to make it as true-to-life as possible. Moreover, even the game’s atmospheric soundtrack, composed by Tim Sunderland, is composed with instruments made from everyday objects, giving an entirely unique and distinctive tone to the game.
“Versus Evil has a history of working with some of the best creatives in the industry and publishing highly engaging RPG titles enriched with deep storytelling and great visuals. Drop Bear Bytes have a clear vision and collective talent that will be an exciting addition to the Versus Evil RPG family of published titles and we look forward to sharing their passion for project fans of the genre” said Steve Escalante, general manager of Versus Evil.
broken roads is another compelling addition to Versus Evil’s impressive RPG catalog and joins other critically acclaimed titles in the genre such as The Banner Saga Trilogy, Merlin’s hand and Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.
