Byeway

The story
You are walking down a road you don't remember. There is no sign of your car. Your watch stopped at a quarter to six. At the bus stop an old man in a long coat says the bus won't be long.
Get on. Len has driven these roads for forty years. Tonight the route runs through the valley in the last of the light, along a coast road that shouldn't be there, and on across the moor in the rain. People get on. They talk. Some of them say more than they meant to.
At some point he will need you to take the wheel.
Byeway is a short first person story game, about an hour long. There is nothing to grind and no puzzle to get stuck on. It is mostly people, talk, and the road. What you say and what you do change how it goes and how it ends.
After the story
The stop is still there. Come back at night and someone new is waiting by the shelter, a different person each day, with a few words before the bus takes them.
Or take the night route yourself: pick a road, drive a quiet shift, stop for whoever is waiting. No score and no timer. The radio plays low, and between the songs an old voice tells you a little more about his life each shift.
In the game

A quiet night route with the radio, and a stranger at the stop each day
