Keep Driving, developed and published by YCJY Games, is a management RPG with turn-based combat, and the thickest of vibes. You play as a young person, heading out onto the open road in your trusty car, traveling across the country to meet your friend at a music festival. Along the way, you encounter every facet of life: the good, the bad, and the surprising. You can pick up hitchhikers, take on odd jobs, refill at gas stations, and explore both small roadside towns and big cities. But along the way you have to face off against all manner of road events. Luckily you've also got a car stereo and your CD playlists by your side. In episode 49 of No Small Games, Kate and Emily dive into their own personal experiences of road trips, and how these align with the gameplay of Keep Driving. You'll hear their thoughts on the many mechanics of this turn-based combat system, and discuss their thoughts on the vehicle-oriented UI. But best of all, if you tune into the spoiler section, you'll find out how Kate wound up with the "go to jail" ending.
