JoyJoi Games is the creative vector of Ed Desjardins, a physicist turned narrative designer who dropped everything to tell stories that are fun and sometimes matter. It’s a venture dedicated to bold, narrative-first projects that challenge, entertain, and occasionally create great moments. The long-term dream is a fully-fledged indie studio, built on strong stories, and unapologetically DIY spirit. You can get digital versions of their games here, physical games here, and follow JoyJoi on Instagram here.

RIDE is a feel-good, potentially non-violent journey game about facing adventure and challenges on the road. It’s about contemplation, empathy and tasty Twisties while empowering your friends.
The Road teaches. It’s the great equalizer, a provider of adventure through liminal time and space. It’s the canvas of this game. It beckons you to stop pretending, stop being numb, and start taking control of your Journey. It gives you the opportunity, without regret or obligations, to ride with whom you choose. There is no right/correct/best way, there is only the way of the Road.
The world is dying. It’s not your fault, nor can you do anything about it. What you can do is choose to live the last moments in good company, with good intentions and while enjoying every moment.
You and your friends have Motorcycles now inhabited by spirits of the SUNDERING OF THE PORTALS. These magical bikes have one purpose, get you from your Meetup to your destination before the world ends. Enjoy the RIDE while it lasts!
This game was built using the Havoc Engine used in Eat the Reich by Rowan, Rook and Decard, creators of the legendary game Doctor Magnethands.

About Havoc
Havoc Engine games are: short-form, over-the-top, and give players the bulk of narrative authority.
Havoc believes players should do the fun thing immediately and then find another fun thing to do based on the first fun thing. This engine is more candy than you should eat. This engine is a greased pig. This engine is a drum kit for your seventh birthday. This engine is Friday night forever.
The Havoc Engine Toolkit is designed to help you make your own original games, and then unleash them on the world.
