Ithaca is a road-trip RPG from The Pixel Hunt, the French studio behind the heartbreaking narrative game Bury Me, My Love, and it's about more than just feeling the breeze through the open window and singing along to your favorite jams. The game's protagonist, Penelope, is a 30-something environmental lawyer who's fed up with a system that protects corporate polluters, and she's joined the Earth Protection Association in an attempt to fight back in a new way. She's on her way to a place called Ithaca to meet other members of the EPA when she discovers the boss of a huge petroleum company in her trunk. Apparently, she didn't put him there.
The game plays out from the driver's seat, where Penelope can look for clues about what's she's really doing, and also call and text her friends and family. Penelope has to pretend she isn't getting swept up in a large-scale eco-terrorism plot while also navigating chats with the EPA organizers, building up interpersonal and deductive skills. There are more than 30 NPCs for Penelope to talk to, with a full cast of voice actors.
