Without hesitation, you pack a bag and set out on a journey to discover what lies at the end of that road.
As you travel, you encounter a diverse cast of characters.
Each character you meet has their own unique story and background, and the choices you make throughout your journey will ultimately determine your fate. Along the way, you'll face challenges and obstacles, and you'll have to make difficult decisions that will affect not only your own journey, but also the lives of the characters you meet.

Will you make it to the border, and to freedom? Or will you be caught, and forced to return to the life you were trying to escape? The choice is yours in Road 96, an emotional and intense adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
