Heading Out EP: Listen Now
The complete Heading Out soundtrack features 19 original tracks ranging from folk and funk to hard rock and trip hop, covering the wide range of human emotions you’ll experience on your journey down America’s winding highways, including denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. The soundtrack will also be available for purchase individually on Steam as DLC.
Heading Out is a narrative adventure with roguelite elements inspired by cult-classic road movies like Thelma & Louise and Vanishing Point. It’s you, your car, and the road, as you take off down America’s cities, highways and backroads on an emotional trip of discovery blending white-knuckle racing, strategy and storytelling. Grab the wheel and choose your own route across the USA on an unpredictable thrill ride shaped by the decisions you make. It's not about the destination – it's about your journey.

Outrun your fears and the law, pursue your dreams, and risk the consequences at the end of the road.
- Your Choices: Every journey is yours to define. Strategically plan out your route and resources in advance on the map, or hit the gas and fly by the seat of your pants. Each decision shapes the road ahead, including your narrative encounters, fuel consumption, car condition and wanted level.
