Keep Driving

You get a car and a simple goal: buy a ticket and make it to a music festival. What happens along the way — events, encounters, hitchhikers — is unpredictable. Add a light “battle” system and some resource management, and that’s basically Keep Driving. The narrative didn’t quite work for me. Even though the game isn’t heavy on dialogue, the short conversations with hitchhikers don’t feel very meaningful, and their micro-stories aren’t particularly memorable. The game isn’t difficult; it’s cozy and relaxed. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t pleasant to play. Still, I expected a bit more from it. I finished a few runs, but eventually lost interest and don’t feel like going for the few remaining endings, at least for now.

I really enjoyed my roadtrip adventure in this game. And it only made me wanting more at the end, the sign of a great game! Theres only maybe one in 100 games that actually stir up a deeper meaning with me, and this was one of them, a true gem and an experience i think every gamer should have, up there with the likes of papers please as an indy game you MUST play at least once. My first few road trips were a mess, but a glorified mess. It wasnt by around the third trip, and i picked up the old wise hiker, that the game really started to stir emotions in me. These really are life shaping moments in a young teenagers life, all of which have the chance to ripple and butterfly effect into the people we become in the future. It becomes an interesting journey of 'what if' which will make you look back at that own time in your life. What if that big event you remember didnt happen, and something else happened instead? I feel the way the developers expressed and emphasised decisions made in your youth having such a big impact on your future, i think they really captured the essence of that part of humanity. I really enjoyed this game, 10/10 and am really looking forward to similar content like this. Dont let this one slip past you.

A rare quality game full of details. Got really addicted like I've rarely been to its gameplay loop and music. Not really the type of game I usually play but I can definitely recommend this to anyone who appreciates quality.
