Keep Driving is a delightful mix of a road trip simulator and a roguelike deck-building game set in the early 2000s.

With resource management, random events, and branching choices, Keep Driving feels like a perfect blend of strategy and storytelling. Each run is unique, and the choices you make — from what items to pack…

Add cults, radiation, bartering, and a heavy folk-horror vibe, and you’ve got something both familiar and refreshingly different. This is a game that dares to trust the player — and in doing so, it offers something quite special… even if it comes with a few rough…

If you’ve ever loved a game for the emotions it stirred in you more than the mechanics…
