I went into Open Roads pretty cold, knowing only that it was a story-driven road trip game with some element of mystery to it. The mystery is really just a backdrop, though – a device to better bring forth the themes of family and secrets. Most specifically it’s about mother-daughter relationships, as we join single mum Opal and her sixteen-year-old daughter Tess on a short (from our point of view) but bittersweet road trip when, going through Opal’s mother’s home post-funeral, they discover she may have had an affair decades before. Can you ever really know the people you love? Does it matter? If you left your daughter’s early-00s flip phone back at the motel, would you turn around and lose four hours, or hope it’s still there on the way back?
