About
On and On We Ran Away is a single-player adventure game intended to be developed for PC / Mac and the Nintendo Switch. It tells the story of Martine, a refugee, who fled from Kosovo to Italy when the Kosovo war started in the late 1990s. After becoming pregnant, Martine decides to reunite with her estranged family, whom she left behind at the beginning of the war.
The gameplay aims to be a calming experience focusing on dialogue and music mirroring the contemplative journey on the road. So far it consists of explorative sections with small puzzles. Additionally, future development will add the possibility to collect various items. These can be used to decorate Martine’s car or to trade for other desirable items like audio cassettes, which will unlock the full musical experience of the game.
