Zoe, a character who is initially met as a troublesome trombone-playing hitchhiker, turns out to be a key figure in the changes coming to Petria. However, it isn’t easy to help get Zoe through the game alive, there is only one path to her survival, and it doesn’t involve all the player’s characters making it out alive. There are major spoilers ahead for the story and ending of Road 96, so beware!

It isn’t crucial so much to Zoe and her arc as much as to the way the game is played overall, but while interacting with Zoe in any scene the player should try to make any choices they can to get involved in events instead of taking the lonely route across the wide open world of Petria. But it is always best to choose the peaceful options, supporting Florres over Tyrak and encouraging Zoe and any around her to vote for change. Make sure to fill her with the hope that change can come in this fashion, it will help the correct ending come about that can help her survive.

While it is easy to become convinced Zoe’s demise begins with her getting caught by the cops, this scene can’t actually end any better. Even if you successfully start the fire to distract the police and grab the keys, they will turn up and capture both Zoe and the player before she can be freed.
