Yes, we have written about Broken Roads before, but it is worth keeping this title in mind. It's fair to say that the upcoming game is like Disco Elysium with a combat system. A similar graphic design creates a specific atmosphere, but this time, we will not lead a single character. Our team will consist of up to five heroes, each with their own personality.
However, it's the moral compass that seems the most interesting part of the mechanics. The relations of the whole world with us will be built around this. This compass is divided into four categories: utilitarianism, humanism, nihilism and Machiavellianism. The dialogue options you choose will influence the character's worldview and their place in the moral sphere. A well-crafted system of this kind will build the entire identity of Broken Roads, and it's definitely the most fascinating part of the game.
You cannot forget about what was mentioned before: the script is created with the participation of Colin McComb, who worked on the first two parts of Fallout and Planescape: Torment. It's worth keeping your eye on!
