What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have a vision for the experience we want to create. However, engaging with the community and gathering feedback is vital in making sure that players love the game as much as we already do. Road to Guangdong has driving, maintenance and repair mechanics, along with a rich interactive story. We will be listening carefully to our players’ feedback on each of these elements and how they come together to create a rewarding game experience, ensuring that Road to Guangdong exceeds the high standards our players rightly expect.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Road to Guangdong to be in Early Access for about a year or so.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We want to gather feedback from our players to help us fine tune the driving experience, traffic and repair systems. However, most of our time will be spent creating locations and evolving the story, bringing Sunny and Guu Ma’s journey to a fulfilling conclusion.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access launch version represents the first chapter of Sunny and Guu Ma’s story; setting the scene for the road trip, and the beginning their journey together. Players will need to carefully maintain the aging but beloved family car, driving across the Guangdong province and undertaking family quests to unlock the first of the relative’s recipes.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Road to Guangdong’s price will increase throughout Early Access and/or at full launch. Any price increases will be communicated with the community before they happen.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will be regularly looking for suggestions and feedback on the game throughout Early Access and will be very active on the Steam forums, social media and Discord.”

About This Game

Sunny’s life is at a crossroads. She knows everything’s about to change. She just doesn’t know how yet. She glances again at the contract. The good news is she’s now the proud owner of her family‘s cherished restaurant. The bad news? It’s seen better days.

A tap at the door announces the arrival of her aunt, Guu Ma.

Yep, everything’s about to change alright. But the “how” part will be decided by a bunch of strangers she’s only seen in faded photographs.

Embark on a Journey of Discovery


On a mission to revive their struggling family restaurant, Sunny and Guu Ma must visit long-lost relatives in search of secrets that will bring diners flooding back. But it won’t be easy. The long trip with her ageing aunt will truly test their relationship as cultural differences bubble to the surface. Only by making tough choices along the way will Sunny discover what fate has in store for her.

Keep Your Car on the Road


A treasured part of her family for longer than Sunny can remember, Sandy has carried her loved ones through many a crisis. But her beloved car is falling apart and she’ll need a helping hand to respond to this latest emergency. Only careful driving and regular checks under the bonnet will enable her to carry Sunny to the climax of her quest.
