《Keep Driving》休闲公路旅行RPG

There is something timeless about the open road, and Keep Driving, the upcoming management RPG from indie developers YCJY Games, looks to capture that feeling with impressive attention to atmosphere and detail. Set in the early 2000s, the game puts you behind the wheel of your first car with a festival on the other side of the country as your destination. How you get there, or whether you get there at all, is entirely up to you.

The game blends management mechanics with RPG elements across a procedurally generated pixel art world, meaning no two playthroughs are quite the same. Players will plan their routes using an in-game map, pick up hitchhikers with their own personalities and backstories, and keep their car in working order through upgrades, customisation, and repairs. It is the kind of game that seems to reward patience and curiosity over speed and efficiency, which feels fitting given the subject matter.

One of the more interesting design choices is how Keep Driving handles obstacles on the road. Rather than traditional combat, the game uses a turn-based system to resolve situations, whether that is getting stuck behind a slow-moving tractor or dealing with whatever other surprises the highway throws at you. Players can draw on their own character skills and items found in the glovebox to work through these moments, which adds a layer of light strategy to what might otherwise feel like a purely narrative experience.

Each run through the game takes roughly one to four hours to complete, and there are multiple endings to discover by returning to the road and making different choices. The soundtrack is handled by local indie bands, lending the whole thing an authenticity that suits the nostalgic, analogue-flavoured setting. The inspirations listed by the developers include Oregon Trail II, FTL, Jalopy, and films such as Two Lane Blacktop and Paris, Texas, which gives a strong sense of the tone they are going for.

Keep Driving is coming to PC via Steam. For the latest updates and more information, players can follow the game’s Steam page or keep an eye on the developer’s official channels.
