Show Notes

This week, Fiona is playing ‘Long Haul 1983’, a solo RPG that tells the story of a dangerous journey through an empty world, written by Sean Patrick Cain.

In ‘Long Haul 1983’, players take on the role of a long-haul truck driver trying to make their way home. Every day, they’ll hit the road, navigating treacherous highways, fleeing from menacing threats, and dealing with the psychological impacts of isolation.

And at the end of each day, they’ll find a payphone, make a call, and leave a message for the most important person in their life. That person never picks up. The player never stops calling.

You can find out more information about ‘Long Haul 1983’ and Sean Patrick Cain’s other games on itch.io.
