I really enjoy going on road trips, especially when a game allows me to experience the open road from the comfort of my own home. Keep Driving, a newly announced indie game, promises to deliver an immersive RPG experience set in the early 2000s as you drive across the country in your old, beat-up car. The idea of stopping at gas stations, listening to music, and facing challenges like storms and traffic along the way has me excited to give this game a try.
The trailer for Keep Driving showcases its retro pixel art style and features a catchy soundtrack that sets the tone for the game. Players can expect a procedurally generated world to explore, a focus on analog devices, turn-based “combat” to navigate road-based obstacles, and multiple endings that can be achieved within one to four hours of gameplay.
Described as a management RPG, Keep Driving allows players to slowly traverse through a pixelated open world, picking up hitchhikers with unique stories, upgrading and customizing their car, and solving challenges on the road using a turn-based combat system. The game’s narrative revolves around a summer road trip to a festival on the other side of the country, giving players the freedom to choose their own path and determine the outcome of their journey.
Although no official release date has been announced for Keep Driving, interested players can wishlist the game on Steam to receive updates and notifications once it becomes available. With its nostalgic setting, engaging gameplay mechanics, and emphasis on player choice, Keep Driving is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of road trip adventures and RPGs alike. So buckle up, hit the road, and get ready for a memorable journey through the early 2000s in your trusty old car!
