</>What does Moral Compass (Set Karma) do?
Road 96 quietly tracks the kind of person you are, and that reputation shapes which paths open up and how the people you meet treat you. Moral Compass lets you put your thumb on that scale. Slide the dial anywhere from -1 (full rebel) to +1 (full angel), press Apply Karma, and your standing snaps to that value - the karma bar updates to match. It is a roleplayer's dream: commit to a saintly run, lean all the way into the rebellion, or nudge yourself back on track after a choice you regret. It is especially handy on a replay when you want to explore an ending that needs a very different reputation from the one you naturally built. Set it once and carry on. Works inside a run - start a road trip first, then set your karma.

</>Common questions about Moral Compass (Set Karma)
What does Moral Compass do in Road 96?
Moral Compass lets you set your karma directly in Road 96. The game quietly tracks the kind of person you are, and that reputation shapes which paths open up and how the people you meet treat you. Moral Compass lets you put your thumb on that scale. Slide the dial anywhere from -1, full rebel, to +1, full angel, press Apply Karma, and your standing snaps to that value while the karma bar updates to match. It is a roleplayer's dream: commit to a saintly run, lean all the way into the rebellion, or nudge yourself back on track after a choice you regret.
How does the Karma dial work?
The Karma setting is a dial that runs from -1 to +1, where -1 is a full rebel, +1 is a full angel, and 0 sits neutral in the middle. You set the dial to wherever you want to stand, then press Apply Karma to commit it. The moment you do, your standing snaps to that exact value and Road 96's karma bar updates to match, so there is no ambiguity about where you landed. Because it is a full range rather than a simple good-or-bad switch, you can place yourself at any shade in between, which is ideal for fine-tuning a roleplay to a very specific reputation.
What does changing my karma actually affect?
In Road 96, karma is the hidden reputation the game tracks as you make choices, and it influences which paths open up and how characters react to you. By setting it with Moral Compass, you steer those outcomes directly instead of hoping your choices add up the right way. Want a route that only appears for a hardened rebel, or a reaction reserved for a saint? Set the dial to match and apply it. This is especially powerful on a replay chasing a specific ending that needs a very different reputation from the one you naturally built, letting you reach it without redoing every choice by hand.
What does the Apply Karma button do, and does the change stick?
Apply Karma takes whatever value you set on the dial and commits it as your current karma in Road 96, snapping your standing to that number and updating the karma bar so you can see the result. You set it once and carry on: the value holds as your new reputation from that point, so you do not need to reapply it constantly. If you change your mind later, just move the dial and press Apply Karma again to overwrite it. This makes it easy to experiment, testing how a scene plays at full rebel versus full angel, without committing to a whole playthrough for each.
Why would I use Moral Compass on a replay?
Moral Compass is especially handy on a Road 96 replay when you want to explore an ending that needs a very different reputation from the one you naturally built. Instead of grinding out dozens of choices to swing your karma, you set the dial and apply it once. It is also a roleplayer's favourite: commit fully to a saintly run, lean all the way into the rebellion, or correct course after a choice you regret. It works inside a run, so start a road trip first, then set your karma. Set it and carry on, adjusting only if you want to steer somewhere new.
