Value puts it in the top 32 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre. Summerland (free, scores 77) outscores it, and so does This Bed We Made ($24.99, scores 54). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

open roads was a game that felt really good after playing many long games and it became a game that will stay in my mind for a long time. at the beginning of the game i thought i would just find old letters and secrets and finish the game, but as i played more i realized that the game was about much more than that. i think the relationship between tess and her mother was the best part of the game. seeing them slowly...
A slow paced and relaxing narrative based game, which takes you on a nostalgic journey. Visually, the game is beautifully unique, with the characters and the worlds being in two different art styles. It took me 3hrs to complete and I am the type of player that looks at everything possible and collects all the achievements. Although the game is quite short, it is still worth it in my opinion.
