Over the years, video games have allowed players to discover many worlds with different stories. This is the case with Road 96, an adventure game set in the 1990s, developed by Digixart and published by THQ Nordic. Currently 75% off on Steam, it’s priced at $4.99, while its original price is $19.96. And this offer is valid until March 19, 2026, according to SteamDB.

The story takes place during the summer of 1996, when several hitchhikers decide to flee the authoritarian nation of Petria. Indeed, the regime deprives people of their freedom, and running away becomes the only option. However, it won’t be easy, as the journey will be perilous and full of obstacles.

You embody several hitchhikers, and you'll meet people who will help you or try to stop you. In an ever-evolving adventure inspired by Tarantino, you’ll discover touching stories and will have to make important decisions for yourself, but also for others. But be careful, because every decision has consequences, and you’ll need to keep in mind your quest for freedom.

Released on August 16, 2021, Road 96 has 91% positive reviews on a total of 24,245 reviews on Steam. On Metacritic, players have also enjoyed this game, as it has a Metascore of 79 and a user score of 7.7. Consequently, its distinct universe and 1990s-inspired atmosphere have been well-received. It’s also worth noting its soundtrack and its story full of twists and turns, such as Jarod’s.

As for its flaws, the mechanics remain the same, and it’s a narrative game. In other words, there are very few action scenes. Additionally, issues with saves have also been reported. Finally, despite this 75% discount on Steam, it hasn’t reached its lowest price, which was $3.99 on June 26, 2025, with an 80% discount.
