Introduction: 
Road 96 follows missing teens who are on the run trying to escape the country by traveling along the side of the road, meeting other main characters. Every choice you make along the way changes each time you play, and will affect the story slightly. Play along as you reach the border and try to escape to your freedom.

Abbreviated Walkthrough:
With the way the story plays out, it is never the same for two people, as the story changes with what you choose and how you decide to travel as you make it towards the final destination of Road 96 and then attempt to escape. 

This game is not difficult and you should unlock all 12 achievements by the sixth episode as long as you don't die before you reach Road 96. To stay alive, at each location you need to keep your energy as high as possible by eating/drinking and resting at some cardboard that is shaped like a tent. If your energy drops to zero, you will have to complete an extra episode for each person that dies before Road 96 and attempting to escape the border.

I would say just look through the missable achievements to take note of the locations that I have added to the top of the description in bold they are linked with.  Each scene within the episodes are scripted, so you will come across the area you need, just that it will be in a different order than someone else, so watching walkthroughs won't help. They'll just give you an idea of what to do.

Mop-Up: 
After playing the way you like and taking note of the missable achievements, you should have everything done by the end of the sixth episode.

Conclusion: 
Road 96 is a fun, relaxing game to play, with a good soundtrack and a Telltale-like comic artwork. As I did, you may find yourself playing and looking forward to the next episode to help a teen cross the border and see how their story plays out. I would suggest you try this game to find out for yourself. It is also an easy 1000gs.png to add to the collection.

    Episode: SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT

  • Blow the fire

    Episode: SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT.

    MISSABLE


    After you meet Zoe on top of the trailer and then head to sleep for the night (whether you paid for a trailer or under some cardboard for free) she will come wake you up to sit by a camp fire. Choose the option to blow before you speak with her, as you lose the choice once you talk to her.
  • Collect all tapes

    MISSABLE

    There are 18 tapes to collect, and they are spread over each of the six or more episodes, which themselves have several named scenes within them. I hope this video helps, but with searching around or buying them from various places/people it should come easy.
  • Call & Donate to the Florres or Tyrak Campaign Funding

    MISSABLE

    To complete this and Homesick (40G) you will need $12 in total.

    When you come across a telephone box, you will need $11 to call a hotline ($1) to donate $10 to a campaign. Use one of these numbers and choose to donate $10.

    Tryak - 96 555
    Flores - 96 777

    MISSABLE

    To complete this and Campaign Funder (40G) you will need $12 in total.

    When you come across a telephone box you will need ($1) to call home to unlock the achievement.
  • Reach Road 96 for the first time

    Story-related; cannot be missed. 

    In each episode the goal is to reach ROAD 96 which is the final area of the episode and then possibly escape the border. But for this you just need to reach ROAD 96 not escape.
  • Add at least 3 rocks on Road 96's cairn

    MISSABLE

    During the final part of each episode (ROAD 96) you will come to a cave where just past the part where you enter, to the left on the floor, you will see a pile of rocks. Just choose the option to add a rock to the cairn.
  • Meet Zoe for the first time

    Episode: SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT.

    (there could be other times you meet Zoe for the first time, depending on how the game plays out for you)

    Zoe is sat atop the trailer with a man shouting up at her. Speak with the man to get rid of him, then speak with Zoe.
  • Help Zoe to escape from the cops

    Epispde: BURNIN'

    MISSABLE


    The easiest way if you dont have the correct abilities is to start by speaking with Zoe and agree to help her escape. Now go around the back of the station to find a hose and a gas can, and then purchase matches ($2) from the owner. Head back to the van and syphon the gas and head other to the rubbish to the left of the gas station and set fire to it. 

    Now the police will come investigate. Head around the back of the station and grab the keys from the table. Head to the driverside of the van and grab the cuff keys and help unlock Zoe.

    It is scripted to get caught but you should unlock the achievement when you turn to face the police.
  • Old Pro

     

    130

    Reach Road 96 for the sixth time

    For each episode, you need to get the teen you play as to ROAD 96 (and potentially escape the border). Your teen can die along the way before you reach ROAD 96 if your energy fully drains so you need to eat/drink/sleep every chance you can.
  • Make a hard choice in crossing the border

    The earliest you can get this is episode 4, as i believe you need to have three teens escape the border and have Zoe's percentage high enough.

    You will meet her at ROAD 96, and continue as normal to the border crossing and head off with her. At some point near the escape you will be given the choice to save her or save yourself.

    Either option will give you the achievement.
  • Discover Petria's fate

    This comes after you help six teens escape and have reached the date in September for the election of the new president. It will unlock after you find the result, which doesn't matter who wins for the achievement to unlock.
