Typo? Went from section N, where we'd pulled over to help some people, to hearing a noise and choosing to take off mask, which lead to section L....which somehow popped us back in the car and pulled over by cops. Is this a typo? Was section N's choice to take off mask, leading to section L correct? It didn't make much sense to us.
This is a game played in a car, where you play as a driver transporting a mysterious cargo in a sticky atmosphere, with a system based on the FM band navigation... As it is, the game is not far from a "Choose your own adventure" system, and probably causes some dissonance between what the text tells and what you live behind the wheel, but it makes me dream of other more interactive proposals based on the same model...
Something about Trunk just really works for me. The cover is perfect, and the design and styling throughout is irresistibly grainy and evocative. The narrative is compelling, with just the right amount of detail.
Two big standouts here are the FM randomiser, which is surprisingly elegant and serves the theme exceptionally, and the structure of playing with one driver and one passenger. I’m looking for an excuse to schedule a drive just to give this a spin.
