Heading Out is a genre-bending road trip adventure that fuses high-speed racing with immersive storytelling. Inspired by cult classic American road movies, this narrative-driven experience invites you to outrun your fears and carve your legend across the open highways of a mythic, timeless America.
Drive to Survive
Assume the role of the enigmatic "Interstate Jackalope", an outlaw on a cross-country quest to confront the world's greatest driver. Each decision you make shapes your story, influencing encounters, challenges, and the ever-present red mist of fear that trails your path.
Strategic Choices, Unpredictable Roads
Navigate a dynamic map where every route presents new dilemmas. Manage resources like fuel, car condition, and focus while deciding whether to help strangers, engage in street races, or evade the law. Your choices impact your reputation, wanted level, and the unfolding narrative.
Stylized Homage
Experience a striking black-and-white comic book aesthetic, punctuated by vivid splashes of color that highlight key elements. Complementing the visuals is an eclectic Americana soundtrack, featuring jazz and rock tracks that underscore the game's emotional beats.

Unique Visual Style: A minimalist, comic-inspired art direction that enhances the game's thematic depth.
Embark on a journey where every mile tells a story, and every choice drives you closer to your destiny. Will you escape your fears, or will they catch up to you on the open road?
