Traffic

Traffic is a first-person psychological horror game about a troubled child living with his mother and father in Wyoming during the 2008 economic recession. You communicate with your parents, do chores and try to stay out of the way as the family faces internal and external stresses.

As you go through the days, you look for ways to take your mind off the traumatic events unfolding around you. You can secure the front gate and lock the doors, never knowing who might be outside. Details in dialogue and environments help you piece together the story.

The story draws on personal experiences, news articles, statistics and unexplained national incidents.
