Road 96: Mile 0, the prequel to Road 96, is now available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam with its release date starting today, April 4, 2023. DigixArt, the French studio behind the successful Road 96, 11 Memories Retold, and 5 Pégases Awards winner shares the latest on their Road to 96 Prequel. In this article, we share with you the Road 96: Mile 0 Release Date, Gameplay, and Details.

Gameplay and Storyline

Players will get a chance to utilize both Zoe and Kaito, two teenagers with different backgrounds and beliefs. They live and explore White Sands, a luxurious condominium where Petria's elite reside and where Kaito's parents work.

Zoe, referred to as “Madam Zoe” in public and babysitter of the president's quirky son, Colton, is the norm in White Sands. Kaito on the other hand lives on the poor side of town where he must work alongside his parents just to make ends meet. Currently, he provides Zoe with a new outlook toward the government, her family, and even her memories as she is swayed to question her belief system.

You will be going through the different ports of White Sands and Zoe will encounter an eclectic cast of characters, some of which you will be familiar with if you have already played Road 96 previously. Nearly every person will approach and acknowledge Zoe or try to strike up a conversation, which contrasts with Kaito's experience where his brief time as a protagonist is met with glares and snide remarks when meeting people at the same parts of the town given their upbringing and background.

As you go through the first-person exploration antics, gameplay will most likely be chatting with NPCs and poking around trash bins for collectibles (as they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure) with some mini-games here and there. Some mini-games will be puzzle-solving while the others are fairly simple tasks like putting together a torn note or finding your way into a locked building.

You will be spending most of your time in Zoe and Kaito's hideout which is an abandoned construction site that doubles as a place to view stickers and listen to cassette tapes that you will be collecting as you explore White Sands. Spray paint cans that you will come across are used to add color to the wall you are tasked to create alongside Kaito. There will be an arcade cabinet where you can play and other minor activities that you can do but most of the time, making you spend extended periods in the hideout.
