It’s time to move across the country, and the only person with a car is your ex-partner. Suck up your pride and play through your trip and relationship’s road bumps, obstacles, and detours. Witty dialogue and moments of quiet, human connection are interspersed on a trip that reflect the oddities and struggles of Midwestern drives.

Detours was made by Mismatched Games (Autumn Raines, Kinsey Erickson, Roscoe Rappaport, Sam Ortiz, and Plum) as part of Code Coven's 2020 Summer Program.
