Road Closed
You slip past the cordon in the early hours of the morning. Somewhere deep within the zone there is rumoured to be a room that will grant any wish. You just need to make it there...
Road Closed is a traditional roguelike about taking a road trip through an exclusion zone. Stop at various procedurally-generated locations to scavenge for supplies and fight or avoid the creatures that reside in the zone.

Death Road to Canada - wait, that's a different game.
Great game! I've been inspired by your work since Meters. Your design decisions seem so simple or obvious but they're so effective. And when I go to accomplish something similar I find it's not obvious at all. You create enjoyable game loops with really elegant constraints. I like how each item, enemy, and stat bar feed into to each other in a way that keeps me pushing to actually win.
I beat it! Great game.
Very fun! I won on my third try, when I stopped playing it like a slasher and started playing it as a resource juggling game with the occasional running-away.
I hope my wish comes true. 😄
somehow managed to freeze here. not sure why. Paying on firefox from Linuxmint.
I also had a freeze at a screen like this. Firefox and Ubuntu
What a nice idea for a game :)
I liked the part where I had to get out of the car and scavenge for resources. It's tough to manage 4 separate bars, but I enjoyed it a lot.
One thing is was missing is movement through 'hjkl' :P
