Road Remains is a civic education game set in the fictional Sri Lankan village of Alupotha, six weeks before an election. You play as a resident navigating voter registration, misinformation, and the quiet pressure of a community making up its mind.
The game does not tell you who to vote for. That part is entirely yours.
