About
There isn’t much you need for a road trip, just a car, the road, and enough snacks to get you through. Whether it takes days or weeks, as long as you keep going, you’ll reach your final destination.
You just have to keep driving.
You aren’t running away from something, but you might be running towards something.
People say road trips are better with company; you’ve never really agreed.
Still, you ended up with company—it seems like Helia, a strange woman you picked up along the way, means to stay with you for the entire trip.
At least you’ll have someone to talk to.

Death Drive is a visual novel that takes place entirely inside your trusty jalopy as you make the trip across the country from your hometown to the ocean's shore. With only your dark thoughts and a mysterious hitchhiker you met along the way for company, you must navigate the interstate highways to your final destination, making decisions, defining your character in dialogue, and encountering increasingly strange and haunting events.

A short (about 2hr) game with an enjoyable story and interesting characters. Perfect for urban mysteries enjoyers, fans of Twin Peaks. Give it a try! Looking forward for more stories from the mind of Shy.
I'm gonna be honest: I didn't completely understand the story. It was too vague, and I still have no idea who (or what) Helia is. Most of the stuff you encounter during the drive doesn't seem connected at all, either. That said, I did enjoy the little horror vignettes and I wish they were longer! They just end and bam, it's onto the next bit of conversation again. (Honestly I feel like the main story could use some length too, to flesh out the MC and his family history more.) There are a few typos as of me writing this: "disdorded" instead of "distorted" several times, and the very funny "To comfort my fears" instead of "confront" dialogue choice. There's also a few times where the voice acting doesn't quite match the text, and I counted twice where the voice lines didn't play at all. Nothing super distracting though. No save slots, but the game's short enough that you can run through it pretty quickly by skipping seen dialogue on subsequent runs. The art's nice, Helia's VA does a great job, and it's a short and free game so it's definitely worth checking out!

Her lack of seatbelts is the most disturbing part
Great!
Creepy VN about death and driving. Almost like... a Death Drive. Short story with some choices that might influence the ending. The artstyle is great, and there are plenty of horrific CG's to see. They also got Sae Nijima from [url=store.steampowered.com/app/1687950/Persona_5_Royal/]Persona 5[/url] to voice the female character! Please play this game, it's free and my friend [url=steamcommunity.com/id/plimpton_]Plimp[/url] worked on it :)
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system. ⣴⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣼⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣶⣶⣿⣿⡗ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃ ⣿⣿⡇⠜⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀Got a cat here ⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⡹⠙⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ Friends passing ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⠛⠀⠀by can touch her ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠁⠀⠀and click Like to pet ♡ ⣿⣿⡿⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠹⠑⠀⠀ Award for good luck, Take My Points for infinite pets ♡ ⠟⠁⠀
