About this game

A co-op horror road trip where your car is your only lifeline. Drive with friends to abandoned locations, grab what you can, and escape before creatures, anomalies, or your own bad decisions leave you stranded.

Operating out of run-down motels, you and your friends have been selected for the finest Artefact Recovery Program. Work together to keep your car in good repair as you drive to and explore dangerous locations. Load your car with stolen goods and race to the nearest motel to drop-off the haul and collect your reward.

Along the way you’ll explore derelict cinemas, forgotten summer camps, the occasional condemned industrial site, and more.

Inside each building are valuables you’ll want to find, and hazards best to avoid.

Successful artefact recoveries mean payment and more lucrative opportunities. Unsuccessful recoveries? Well we’ll take care of the paperwork and inform your emergency contact.

Upgrade your car to better survive against creatures and other road hazards.

Are ghosts causing you pain on the road? Equip a roof-mounted floodlight to vaporize them. Is your friend a reckless driver who keeps driving off cliffs? Attach a winch to pull your car back up. Just want to make your car look cool? Grab some spray cans and paint your car to perfection.

Gather your friends and form a crew of up to 5 for the ultimate road trip. Work together to upkeep your car and embark on dangerous missions, but don’t forget to enjoy the ride.

Communicate through proximity chat and walkie-talkies. Don't worry if you die, you can still chat with (or haunt) your friends through the car radio.

  • Play solo or as a crew of up to 5 players in online co-op
