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 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 Rant: 10 / 10 by Nick Rodriguez
Keep Driving is equal parts charming, compelling, inventive, and emotionally evocative, making it one of 2025's early masterpieces.
RPGamer: 3.5 / 5 by Sam Wachter
With short playthroughs that clock anywhere between an hour or two, I became obsessed with obtaining all of the endings, trying different hitchhiker skills, and just enjoying the ride through pixilated backgrounds with my Swedish indie pop in the CD player. While the game’s story is minimal, it’s a point in its favour as it allows the player to create their own road trip adventure.
