About this 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.Procedurally generated pixel art open world
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, customize 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.
- Collect songs and listen to a mix CD of local Swedish 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.

We’ll share more on how to access this and the full patch notes when the time comes.We’ve been incredibly grateful for all your support since we first launched last year, we’ve reached 300k sales and this is our way of giving Keep Driving a little more gas in the tank, following on from previous updates, including the localization, controller support and Steam Deck verification. We couldn’t have done this without you.We can’t wait to see what people do with their own road trips, so please be sure to share your mods with us on Twitter and our Discord. As a small two-person team, it means the world to see how much this game has meant to you all. And, one other thing! We’re also bringing Keep Driving to Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on the same day as modding support! 🙂 We’re thrilled to finally be sharing this journey elsewhere so we’ll hopefully see you on the road again soon, whichever way you choose! Thank you all. 🚗Cheers,Christopher & JosefRead full article on Community Announcements (ycjy)AnnouncementsOfficial

Should prevent the scrambled map on steam deck that some players have experienced. - Adjusted how the "memories" in the book of the main menu is drawn so it's easier to read. - When ending your turn during a road event, you will now get prompted before the turn ends. - Fixed the dark background behind the inventory/hitchhiker menu to stay dark when using a gamepad - Window reflections in the cities now move slower - Telephone poles in the foreground in cities should no longer suddenly appear - Fixed some typos - Some minor bug fixes Thanks for everyone's continued support of Keep DrivingRead full article on Community Announcements (ycjy)
