YCJY Games has announced that the teenage road trip RPG Keep Driving will receive official mod support via Steam Workshop on September 28th. This update will allow players to tailor their own adventures within the game.
The developers stated in a Steam post that this will be released initially as a beta update to gather feedback. Players will need to opt into a specific Steam branch to access it before the full release. Further details on how to access the beta and complete patch notes will be shared closer to the launch date.
The post also humorously suggested players might mod unconventional vehicles, such as a rideable horse, into the game, replacing the usual cars and trucks. The game features turn-based battles against road hazards as players guide their youthful protagonist across the country.
Keep Driving has received positive reception, with multiple critics praising its unique blend of road trip nostalgia, engaging mechanics, and emotional storytelling. One review highlighted its ability to evoke deep feelings, citing an instance where a player had to sell their guitar for fuel to visit a sick relative, emphasizing that the game "goes places."
