"Electric Highways" is a visual and auditory exploration game set in a surreal, virtual world inspired by early 80's electronic music and system shock. In the year 2072, a VR engineer prepares to upload his final project, but decides to experience it one last time. With two language options, players must navigate through ten levels of abstract 3D graphics, each with their own unique theme. The game captures the isolation of virtual reality culture while providing a unique and immersive experience for players.

The game's story is described as melancholic and unnerving, adding depth to the experience, though some players feel it lacks a substantial narrative. While the gameplay is enjoyable and showcases creativity within an old engine, many reviewers express a desire for a more developed storyline and additional content. Overall, the story is seen as a fitting backdrop, but it leaves players wanting more.
“Some parts of the game are rather unnerving, but it fits well with the melancholy story behind it.”
“The story is intriguing and keeps you engaged, making you want to uncover more about the characters and their motivations.”
“The narrative is beautifully crafted, blending elements of mystery and emotion that resonate long after the game is over.”
“There's way more to this game than eduke32 (the single text file that this game runs off), and it was fun for the first playthrough, I guess... there wasn't really any storyline, and the graphics suck, so take what you want.”
“But in saying how neat it is and how cool it is to see people building (heh build engine) in old engines, it's way too short. Give me more keys to find more doors or even more spooky elements, and maybe some more story too, but otherwise, I just think it's a cool game.”
