"Open Roads utilizes a unique and engaging interactive dialogue system that moves the narrative along, exposing character flaws, secrets, and buried truths".[6]
Plot
Open Roads stars actors Keri Russell and Kaitlyn Dever as a mother-daughter duo on a road trip where they learn more than they bargained for.
Development
The development of Open Roads originally began under the umbrella of Fullbright; however, in August 2021, Polygon published a report about founder Steve Gaynor's alleged toxic behavior causing team members to leave.[7] In a Fullbright newsletter sent in May 2023, Gaynor announced that he was no longer working on Open Roads, and development will be credited to The Open Roads Team at launch, while Gaynor will retain the Fullbright name for his own projects.[8][9]
