An unusual RPG, in which we set off on a cross-country journey in an old car, hoping to reach a music festival. Keep Driving shows the action from the side. We encounter hitchhikers and various events, solving problems using a turn-based system. We can also customize our car.
Keep Driving is a pixel art, 2D RPG game that combines adventure and simulator elements. It was produced by the Swedish independent studio YCJY, which has such titles such as Post Void and Sea Salt in its portfolio.
In Keep Driving we go back to the beginning of the 21st century. It's summer, and the character controlled by us bought their first car. He decides to set off on a journey to the other end of the country to get to a music festival. The route leads us through highways, quiet country roads, and smaller towns.
Along the way we meet hitchhikers with their unique stories that enrich our journey and create its atmosphere.
The game has many endings. At the end of each trip, we are encouraged to return to the beginning and see what would have happened if we had chosen a different route.
We experience the action in Keep Driving from the side of a moving car, in a so-called side-scroll. During our journey we set new destinations, and while driving between them we encounter many challenges.
To address them, we use a turn-based system, in which we can solve each problem in many ways. For this purpose, we draw from the knowledge and skills we have acquired. Various items that we can buy at every gas station, car repair shop or find during our travels can be helpful.
Our responsibilities include taking care of our character's energy and the condition of the vehicle and the amount of fuel. Car workshops can repair broken parts. We can also make improvements and personalize many elements of the car, like its wheels, roof or interior.
Additionally, we meet hitchhikers on the road. Their stories sweeten our journey. However, each of them has a different personality, which affects the comfort of traveling with them.
Our travels are accompanied by the music of alternative Swedish bands. On the way, we collect their new CDs, which by the end of the trip can accumulate into a sizable collection.

Game Ratings for Keep Driving Video Game.
Try Hard Guides: 10 / 10 by Erik Hodges
Keep Driving is an incredible road trip adventure game, truly living up to the vibe of an early 2000s drive across the country. Every aspect of the game wowed me, and I was left with no desire other than to get even more from the experience. Here’s hoping the developers launch some future DLC for the game.

Keep Driving shows that sometimes all it takes is a good core concept and you can run with it. Driving in your car with a shifting destination in mind, picking up hitchhikers and making sure you’re keeping up with the needs of food, sleep, gas and money gives a lot of really enjoyable experiences, and it’s solidified with a fantastic vibe and soundtrack. The journey is more important than the destination, especially when the journey is this good.
Digital Spy: 4 / 5 by Jess Lee
Keep Driving brings together all of its systems to create narratives that unfold organically and that are easy to get lost in. You may encounter the same hitchhikers or the same quests across two different runs, but the stories won't be the same. It's about the journey, not the destination.
