  • Summary: A narrative road trip game set in the roaring Italian 70s, it tells the story of Lella, a restless woman driving on the roads of the western coast of Italy, the famous "Via Aurelia".

    This is an interactive fiction in the shape of an isometric driving game and with a focus on replayability:    A narrative road trip game set in the roaring Italian 70s, it tells the story of Lella, a restless woman driving on the roads of the western coast of Italy, the famous "Via Aurelia".

    This is an interactive fiction in the shape of an isometric driving game and with a focus on replayability: every playthrough lasts about fifteen minutes and there are sixteen different endings to discover.

    The 1970s in Italy were a time of terrorism, kidnappings, and political turmoil. Based on your choices and the places you'll decide to visit you may end up in car chases, illegal street races, or in tense debates with a catholic priest, and more from a cast of characters that you have never met before in a video game.    … Expand

    While I'm not usually big into interactive visual novels, Wheels of Aurelia is an exception. I'm loving the visual style of the game, and the music is delightful. Controls are simple enough for everyone to enjoy, and the character development and endings are done well. The game's all about the journey rather than the destination, and I think that's a great outlook on life in general. I may not have been on an actual road trip yet, but this game gives me a sample taste of it.

    Wheels of Aurelia is a game that leans heavily on its style and setting to create a compelling experience. Its mechanics aren’t complicated, and its story mostly exists to paint a picture of Italy circa 1978, but the end result is a game that can still draw you into a world that is rarely—if ever—explored in games, and that's something worth celebrating.

    It's still well worth playing for those seeking a new narrative-based game with a fresh angle, but it feels like it's being held back by a dodgy engine component.
