Heading Out is a narrative road-trip driving game set across a stylised recreation of the American Midwest. Players take the wheel for a cross-country journey shaped by a fractured relationship with an ex, unpacked over radio calls, roadside stops, and a soundtrack that follows the mood of the drive.
Driving is deliberately relaxed rather than arcade-fast, with the open road, weather, and time of day setting the pace while the story unfolds through conversations and choices made along the route. Detours lead to gas stations, diners, and small towns that flesh out the world without interrupting the drive itself.
