Y’all Are In For Quite a Ride! Trailer Has Us Cycling Down A Surreal Horror Highway
Remember when you started riding your bike yourself? It’s a sacred right of passage for many and a hallmark of growing up. Well… Goodwin Games’ Quite A Ride decided to take that beautiful memory and douse it in Eldritch horror. The trailer for their new survival horror will make you think twice before riding to a friend’s house alone.
Quite a Ride: Through Fog and Fear
In the trailer, you’re biking to a friend’s house, a typical route you have taken before, but today it seems to be shallowed up by an unnaturally thick fog. Your phone starts blowing up with cryptic messages from some unknown weirdo, and then you start seeing… things. Strange beings emerge from the fog, and they’ve taken a very keen, very predatory interest in you.
Trapped in this shifting, nightmarish landscape, your bicycle becomes your everything. It’s your escape vehicle, your puzzle-solving tool, and maybe even your only friend. You’ll traverse through ever-changing scenery, uncover creepy hidden facilities, and desperately evade the monstrous creatures whose footsteps are a little too close behind you.
Quite A Ride’s premise is straightforward: You’re just a person on a bike whose only defense is speed, but your stamina is finite. There is also the mechanic where pedaling charges your phone’s battery, forcing you to balance the need for speed and decoding messages that might lead you to safety.
Endorsing A Match Made in Horror Heaven
Partnering with publisher Silver Lining Interactive, Goodwin Games is pedaling this nightmare straight to your PC via Steam. Eben, Sales & Biz Dev Coordinator of Silver Lining, gushed, “We absolutely fell in love with the concept from the moment we saw it.” Having previously worked with Goodwin Games on the equally ambitious Selfloss, they knew they were getting into business with a team that knows how to deliver.
But the real gut-punch of an endorsement comes from Ross, Head of Marketing at Silver Lining, who proclaimed, “Trying it out, I was scared sh**less, and I loved it.” He continued, “It’s rare to find a game that gets under your skin in such a deliberate, unnerving way. Folks will love this one.” When the marketing guy admits to soiling his trousers, you know you’re in for Quite a Ride.
Final Thoughts: Dante’s Tour De France
Goodwin Games is carving out a unique niche by introducing this pedal-powered panic. With only a bicycle as the sole weapon of defense and offense, Quite a Ride is a tense bike trip and a surreal journey. While the official release date hasn’t been set, you can already feel the anticipation building. So, test your bike chain, check your tire pressure, and get some cardio in. And be sure to call your friend ahead that you might be taking a detour.
