How it feels

A low-fi, deliberately slow-paced road trip where every drop of fuel and scrap of food matters, with a deadpan sense of humor rooted in its absurdly simple premise.

What players say

Players describe a simple, chill drive across the desert with some rough edges. The radio is a highlight with public domain songs, but controller support is broken and the pixel art becomes unreadable when zooming.
