A few weeks ago I have found a very nice jam on itch.io called Road Trip Game Jam 2025 which was really inspiring and chill. At the time there were already a lot of really good little games and, as a racing / car games enthousiast, I decided to hop on and try to submit something nice. I am a full time developer but didn’t want to bother with a video game project since I am an awful artist and didn’t want to work in a team on my free time. So I went a physical game path and wrote a solo TTRPG Focus on the Road.

It’s a chill game about driving across a big country, meeting interesting people and visiting some cool landmarks. You will take some pictures of your new friends and visited places using an instant camera and try to continue your trip before the gas tank is empty. As many solo RPGs it’s not really a game you can win or lose, it is mostly a tool to narrate a cool story while listening to some old rock music. The main mechanic is interacting with any hitchhikers you might take with you, trying to find a good discussion topic, listening to the radio together, etc. It’s absolutely non-violent, features no cigarettes, drugs or booze and has been designed to be as chill as I was when designing it. Oh, and it’s free and features only creative common art. Hope you might enjoy it!

Edit: there’s not many physical games on this community but I hope it still qualifies as a game. Feel free to close if I am not on the right place.

    I am still a Lemmy noob and didn’t grasp all the instance/community points yet. This community is kinda about physical games as well so I gave it a shot. But thanks for pointing out that instance, seems to be a lot of related stuff and would be more appropriate for sure!
