Barren Roads

Barren Roads is a survival game set in a world left barren and scorched by nuclear weapons. You travel across a large, streaming map of ruined highways and cities, scavenging for resources and trying to outwit other survivors. Explore and loot by day, then find shelter from freezing nights, beasts and other unknown dangers after sunset.

Survive the wasteland

Resources are scarce, rivers are dry, and many wanderers have died during the icy nights. You manage your health, hunger, thirst and need for shelter through a full day-and-night cycle, with changing weather and random events shaping each playthrough. Permadeath means a character's death is permanent.

The map streams as you travel, and anything you can see is within reach. Areas to explore include towns, distant houses and bases, as well as wrecks and vehicles. A line-of-sight and hearing system affects encounters, while hunting depends on learning the areas animals inhabit based on their behavior.

Scavenge and equip

You loot and gather resources from ruined towns and other locations, using an inventory backpack system to manage what you find. The game includes 30+ firearms, 15+ melee weapons, character armor, customizable weapons with scopes and silencers, and craftable weapons.

Multiplayer

You can play online or over LAN in basic, non-competitive multiplayer.
