Though technically still in beta, Wheels of Aurelia is a complete experience that expertly blends a driving game with a focus on characters through the use of a interactive fiction. As their website says, “Based on your choices – and the places you’ll decide to visit – you may end up in car chases, illegal street races, or in tense debates that will make you wonder who your travel companions really are.”\nEach play session takes 10-20 minutes and can be played on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It is available for $4.99 on itch.io. We highly recommend this game for someone looking for a truly unique and extraordinary experience centered around something ordinary we have all done before: having a great conversation while driving.\nLinks for this episode:\n\nGamasutra – Interactive fiction meets arcade racer: Designing Wheels of Aurelia\nPic of the Wheels of Aurelia cabinet at Fantarcade\nDesert Bus (The Game)\nFull Throttle – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\n\nYou can follow our show on Twitter at @_shortgame\nLike the show?
