Surfin' the highway.

<span class="bold">Death Road to Canada</span>, an outrageous road trip simulator about managing a vehicle full of unpleasant people that the zombies still find tasty, is available now for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 10% launch discount.

Crowded vehicles are scientifically proven to bring the worst out of humans and this one is no different; it's full of obnoxious morons who want to cross a sea of undead on a car - and you must help them! Step on it and overrun the brainless hordes, or proceed on foot and throw large pieces of furniture at them. Every now and then your horrible passengers will claw and bicker at each other about how to handle the Interactive Fiction events, so it's again your job to help resolve matters without (much) bloodshed. This post-apocalyptic highway is a regular madhouse: survivors with weird abilities, unusual weapons, rare events, a shotgun-wielding puppy - it has it all! All but a steady hand to sort out the mess and keep the growling pedestrians from jumping on board without a ticket.

Make your way through hundreds of pixelated undead as your car hits the <span class="bold">Death Road to Canada</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The 10% launch discount will last until September 13, 12:59 PM, UTC.

ReynardFox: Given the recent output I thoroughly expected to see Devolver as the publisher, but nope, it's some random new studio...
And it's cool it ain't devolver: no regional pricing.

tinyE: Does that mean I need to retract or apologize for my last post to you? :D
It was about something else .

ReynardFox: Ooh now this one I want. So where is it GOG?
Under a publisher that hasn't released anything on GOG for 2+ years.

I'm a KS backer of this one and have still not received my DRM-free copy. Meanwhile the other service folks have been playing it for ages. The devs promised months ago that we'd get ours with the next big patch, and so far bupkis.

low rated
But is it a low-effort, badly pixelated procedurally-generated permadeath piece of crap?

Because those are the only games I'm into.

You're in luck :D Those seem to be exactly what GOG's famed curation is looking for.

Yay! Was not expecting this game to ever come out on GOG, I'm pleasantly surprised. ^^ Watched TotalBiscuit play this, it's really fun and quirky - and particularly entertaining if you take the time to make custom characters modelled after people you know. :D I'm not usually into zombie content, but I'll be getting this as soon as my funds will allow. :)

Before you arbitrarily call a game a "piece of crap", it would be nice if you took the time to check it out first. :) It's rather unfair to condemn something without being equipped to properly judge it. :)

OOOOH! Such timely and delicious social commentary!

What a perfect time for a game to come out that evaluates a post 2016 US presidential election America and the consequent exodus evacuating the annihilated American wastelands in search of sane harbor in Canada.

While I do feel sorry for Canada having to endure such a tsunami onslaught of refugees, the game representation of it sounds like a trip I could probably get behind. Go ahead and sign me up.

Pixel "art" and procedually generated are an immediate turn-off, but "Use the character creator to put yourself, friends, and family in the game." sounds like it could make this game enjoyable enough to warrant a playthrough. I guess I'll get it later this year, when the obligatory Humble Halloween Bundle features it at the pay-what-you-want tier.

BadDecissions: Or maybe I'll hold off for a while, until I can be sure that these "big monthly updates" will actually come to GOG...
Good point, unfortunately. Still waiting for Nuclear Throne to get an update. Which, according to the devs, is going happen over the course of... last month...

Wishlisted. Good to see it on GOG.
