About the Game
In the Republic of River, the law is simple: if you hit a person with your car, even slightly, you are treated like a murderer.
The Way Home is a strange casual driving game about a driver who just wants to get home.
On the road home, you will face unexpected pedestrians, the so-called "Smart Guys" glued to their screens, drunk-driving cyclists, and even sacred electric scooters.
So drive carefully.
Stop before you hit them.
Collect valuables along the way.
Earn money.
Buy a supercar.
Then keep driving toward a better home.
If you want a calmer ride, take the highway.
There are no pedestrians there, so you can listen to music and relax.
If you want something faster, enter the racing track.
Only supercars are allowed, and the law does not apply during the race.
Even if pedestrians wander onto the track, you do not have to worry about becoming a prisoner there.
After all, what kind of fool would step onto a road where no law protects them?
There are prizes for the winners.
