You are embarking on a road trip! Jump in the car and drive.

CHARACTER MOVEMENT CONTROLS

Use the mouse to look around, WASD to move your character, press E to enter the car, and then drive the car!

WASD to move

Mouse to look

E to interact

CAR DRIVING CONTROLS

To start driving, shift the car from Park to Drive by pressing R, this allows you to shift through Park, Reverse, Neutral, to Drive. Then use W to hit the gas and S to hit the brakes!

W for gas

S for brakes

R to upshift

Q to downshift

See if you can make it to the end! We would love to hear what you think of the driving experience so far! We had so many more ideas, features, and narratives we are excited to add to this game, but this is the farthest we could get in the jam's time frame.

We plan to continue future development and we will release a more fully featured demo by the end of the month! Stay tuned if you want to see more!

And he's driving the stairway to heaven. Very jank, somehow fun. Would've been more "old tech" if it was a manual transmission.

Thanks for checking out the game! If the vehicle isn't moving you may need to shift out of park. Using R will shift up and Q will shift down. The vehicle starts in P and the gear order is PRND. Unfortunately we did not have time to implement the gear shifter like we wanted to but that is something we intend for future updates.

I really like your music, my friend. You have good taste，Although the driving experience of the car feels a bit strange, I like the feeling of floating. It would be even better if there were some scenery added.

My roadtrip came to a pretty abrupt end lol
pretty interesting idea on more realistic driving controls, I think my brakes needed some work on my car though lol.
I found the controls to be a bit tricky, I get your were going for more realistic, but it took me a bit to map my brain to the controls before I got driving around well.

I couldn't really break but that's not really an issue. I'm here to go fast and reach the skies!

Interesting atmosphere and relaxing music! I think the game would feel more juicy if you added some car sound effects. Maybe adding a clutch pedal mechanic would make the driving feel more realistic, too!
