New Game+ Differences

Starting a New Game+ in Road 96? Here's what carries over, including your unlocked abilities like Hacking and Lockpicking, and how it affects your future runs.

So, you've beaten Road 96 once and are wondering what's next? That's where New Game+ comes in! Think of it as a way to keep your progress going for future attempts to reach the border. After you've finished your first playthrough, New Game+ lets you carry over your unlocked abilities and your character completion. Character completion basically just tracks how many sequences you've gone through with each teen you've played. Here are the abilities that carry over: * Cleverness: Unlocks extra dialogue choices. * Hacking: Lets you open electronic locks. * Lockpicking: Lets you open most physical locks. * Lucky Star: Gives you more dialogue options, a 15% boost to luck-based decisions, and lets you search through marked trash cans. * Government Pass: Opens up more dialogue with police, gets you a free drink from some vending machines, and lets you buy premium scratch cards. * OMEN Vitality: Adds 2 extra energy sections and some physical options, like breaking locks. Basically, these abilities can open up new paths and opportunities that weren't available before. It makes subsequent runs a bit different and potentially easier as you've got these tools in your belt from the start. Have fun with it!
