Rocketcat took inspiration from what Auwae called "the unintentionally funny parts of the Walking Dead", and George Romero. The text interludes were added to provide an opportunity for each of the character's personalities to come out. Zombies were intended to be slow, but could do enough damage so that large hordes of them could overwhelm the player. The developer commented "How free-to-play games work is that you're counting on people to get annoyed, and then having to pay to reduce their annoyance". It was the studio's first game to launch first on PC, in order to not have to balance making the game profitable for mobile, and making sure it was fun for players, wanting to avoid making it free-to-play. The story was also influenced by the goofiness of the zombie genre, and the possibilities of randomly generated storytelling. One of Rocketcat's developers said "The story is a humorous take on how America sees Canada, as thought up by someone that lives in Kitchener". The studio's previous game, Wayward Souls, released in 2014, and following that, development on Death Road to Canada began. Through text the player is presented with multiple choices that they benefit from or are harmed by the decisions are affected by each character's backgrounds and moods. Death Road has interactive fiction events in between times spent in locations. Occasionally, the player will encounter "siege" events, where they need to survive a growing zombie horde for a set amount of time. The player can use different types of weapons from melee to ranged. Every run, the player stops at locations, trying to find supplies like medkits, weapons, gasoline, and food to survive. Each character you meet can join your party (up to four characters), and all of them have varying mood levels, different skills, and backgrounds.
Death Road to Canada takes place over two in-game weeks as the party tries to make it to the border. The game starts with two survivors going on a road trip, hoping to escape the zombie apocalypse in America, and escape to Canada. The game released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux on July 22, 2016, with later releases for iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game is a roguelike in which the player tries to get to Canada in order to escape the zombie-infested United States.
Death Road to Canada is a 2016 roguelike video game developed by Rocketcat Games and Madgarden, and published by Rocketcat Games.
