Broken Roads

Broken Roads is an upcoming 2023 video game by independent developer Drop Bear Bytes to be published by Versus Evil for Windows, Xbox Series X/S, and the Nintendo Switch. Described as a post-apocalyptic computer role-playing game, Broken Roads is set in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. The game has been compared to non-traditional dialogue-based role-playing games, such as Disco Elysium, in featuring a mechanic described the 'Moral Compass', that responds to moral choices made by the player. Gameplay Broken Roads is a role-playing game in which players will accompany a party of up to five characters and participate in a "blend of turn-based tactical combat (and) traditional and original" role-playing mechanics. The game will feature a 'Moral Compass' system in which player actions, including choices made in dialogue and quests, are represented on a map between four quadrants, 'utilitarian', 'humanist', 'machiavellian' and 'nihilist' positions. The player's position on the Moral Compass will provide the player with traits affecting gameplay mechanics. The player's companions and key characters feature their own compass, which will affect their reaction to the player's statements and choices. Development
