Our take on Wheels of Aurelia
The short-run structure keeps each decision focused, but it also limits the time available for extended character development or a larger continuous journey. Much of the experience comes from revisiting routes and choices rather than progressing through one long campaign.
What is Wheels of Aurelia?
Wheels of Aurelia is an interactive fiction game presented as an isometric driving experience.
It follows Lella, a restless woman traveling along Italy’s western coast during the 1970s. Each run takes about 15 minutes, with player decisions and selected destinations shaping encounters and outcomes. Possible situations include car chases, illegal street races, and tense discussions with a Catholic priest, alongside other characters encountered during the journey. The game focuses on replayability, with 16 endings to find across repeated drives. Its setting draws on a period marked by terrorism, kidnappings, and political unrest. A separate purchase offers the full soundtrack, including four original songs performed in a 1970s Italian musical style.
