Ithaca is a mysterious road role play from Bury Me, My Love studio Pixel Hunt

How far will you go to save the planet?

In Ithaca, Penelope ' s road trip began when he stopped at the gas station, called a friend and found a guy who was tied and blindfolded in her car trunk. She seemed surprised by the situation, but she closed the trunk and drove to the front seat.

Ithaca is a road role-playing game made by The Pixel Hunt, a French studio that developed a heartbreaking narrative game, Bury Me, My Love, not just to feel the wind blowing through open windows and sing with your favorite improvisation song. The main character of the game, Penelope, was a 30-year-old environmental lawyer who was tired of the system of protecting the polluters in the business and joined the Earth Conservancy to try to counter it in a new way. She was on her way to meet with other members of the United States Environmental Protection Agency at a place called Isaka and suddenly found the owner of a large oil company in her trunk. Apparently she didn't put him there.

The game takes place in the driver's seat, where Penelope can look for clues about what she's really doing and can call and text her friends and family. Penelope had to pretend that he was not involved in a large-scale eco-terrorism plot, while at the same time talking to the organizers of EPA and developing interpersonal and reasoning skills. Penelope can talk to more than 30 NPCs and have a full set of voice-players.

The scenery on the windshield is one of the seven final destinations of a programme-generated windshield, a whistling bridge, a mountain entrance and a clear blue waterway. Players can decide the path of Penelope through their own narrative choices, and ultimately whether she completes the EPA plan or quits at the last minute.

Pixel Hunt, founder of Florent Maurin, said in the game developer's daylight video, "We won't let Isaac give us the answer." “We have been able to do this because we are experiencing increasingly unavoidable problems related to power, violence, the world we live in and how far we are prepared to go to defend it. It still feels possible when everything seems no longer valid. We want Isaka to be a way for us to think carefully and comfortably in a moving car.”

Ithaca is tentatively scheduled for launch in 2027, and the game is now online in KickStarter and has a Steam page.
