Keep Driving is an atmospheric management RPG about life on the open road. Pick up hitchhikers, work odd jobs, customise and repair your car, and map your route across the country. Use upgrades, skills and items to overcome challenges. And remember to take it easy. You’re young. You have time.
About The Game
It’s the early 2000’s, and you’ve just bought your first car. A long, slow summer lies ahead. Hearing about a festival on the other side of the country, you fire up your engine, plot a course on your map, and hit the road. How, if you get there at all, is up to you.
Keep Driving is a management RPG about slowly making your way through a procedurally generated pixel art open world. Pick up hitchhikers with their own personalities and stories; upgrade, customise and repair your car. Solve challenges on the road using a unique turn-based ‘combat’ system, using your own skills and whatever’s lying around in the glovebox to make it through.
At the end of your road trip, return back to the beginning and see what happens if you had followed a different path. There are multiple endings, with each taking about 1-4 hours to complete. Immerse yourself in the land through its highways, dirt tracks, and calm country roads. And remember to enjoy the ride. You’re young and don’t have much to lose.
Features:
- A procedurally generated pixel art world to explore one road at a time.
- A nostalgic early 2000s setting with an emphasis on the analogue .
- Use turn-based ‘combat’ to solve situations (like getting stuck behind a tractor).
- Pick up misfits, oddballs and lost souls as you go.
- Featuring a killer soundtrack by local indie bands.
- Multiple endings to unlock when you return to the road.
- Inspired by Oregon Trail II, FTL, Two Lane Blacktop, Paris Texas, Jalopy, Gloom Haven, The 7th Continent, and the developer’s lives.
Since last year’s PC launch, Keep Driving has received major updates. This includes expanded localization support with nine additional languages, a new ending, gamepad support for Steam Deck, new road events, additional locations to explore, new content and more. All these updates are included at launch on Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series.
