About
Welcome to Driving Life, a hardcore driving and survival experience set in the heart of rural America. Stranded on a remote island with barely any money, you’ll have to scrape by, taking on driving jobs, managing expenses, and surviving on whatever cheap food and drinks you can afford.
With a realistic driving model, manual transmissions, and a variety of vehicles to operate, Driving Life is a true test of skill and endurance. From small personal cars to minivans and even heavy-duty trucks, every vehicle demands mastery as you navigate the island’s winding roads, dirt trails, and ferry routes.
🚗 Realistic Driving Mechanics – Manual transmission, clutch control, and varied vehicle handling.
🚐 Diverse Vehicles – Drive everything from compact cars to massive trucks.
💰 Hardcore Economy – Earn just enough to survive… if you play it smart.
🏨 Island Life – Stay in a rundown motel, pay rent weekly, and work odd jobs.
🛠 Resource Management – Keep your car fueled, your stomach full, and your debts paid.
🚢 Ferry Routes – Transport tourists and goods between terminals to earn cash.
🥫 Survival on a Budget – Eat cheap meals, drink what you can afford, and don’t blow your last dollar on a flashy car.
Your adventure begins in a modest motel, where the owner might call you for work—driving a van to pick up tourists from the ferry. You’ll start with a clunky manual car, but if you manage your money wisely, you might just afford an upgrade. Be warned: every decision matters. Miss a rent payment? Run out of gas? Go broke? You’re in trouble.

It is not ready yet. Whenever I answer the call form the hotel to accept a job, I get a 2 word pop up message that says "Fatal Error". Answering a call just after this crash works ok, but I lose about an hour of game time which is a killer. Time just goes by too fast, so you can do 1 delivery a day which means you never really make headway. You make $20 for the job and then spend $18 an drink and food. That is $2 a day. Eating food raises your fatigue. If you eat when you are hungry until you are full again, you will need to sleep right after. So I guess you plan to eat once a day just before bed time. It just eats away all the time. The model work is good and it could be a nice chill game except for the issues I mentioned. It id definately not a hardcore survival game. You won't die, you will just grind and grind, making $2 a day between game crashes.
enjoyed the game's concept and could go a long way but it needs a lot more finishing touches but after spending several hours on it i saved and logged off but when logging back on the game save wasnt there to load it so lost everything this shouldnt be released yet
Runs pretty terribly, pretty buggy and janky, and this game just feels like it lacks soul and character unlike genre peers like My Summer Car or Motor Town. I can't recommend it in it's current state. I actually came here to write a review on this game right after my game crashed upon me receiving my first job... I only have 30 minutes on the game and I already know it won't get much better. I was able to start driving a school bus around to acquire a class B license and immediately realized that it handles like a brick, in exactly the same way as my starter car, which is basically a old Honda Civic. That is NOT GOOD. My compact car, even lacking power steering, should not feel so bad to steer at medium-high speeds that a similar era school bus with a much longer wheel base feels comparable. My Summer Car for example, is able to provide a diverse array of driveable vehicles that feel different. I'd say let it cook a bit longer. I hope I get to change this review to a positive one in the future since it's a cool concept, but it's not EA which makes me think it's just as likely to be dropped sooner than later.
Максимально сырой кусок дерьма. Управление на геймпаде ужасное, смысла в игре 0. Единственное, зв что можно похвалить игру, так это за графику (50 фпс гейминг). Возможно будущие обновления улучшат игру, но сейчас это дорогостоящий кал.
Tolles und belohnendes Spielprinzip....du wirst nicht an die Hand genommen und musst vieles selbst herausfinden. Mach Führerscheine und steigere deinen Ruf. Dann kannst du dir Häuser und Autos leisten...absolute Kaufempfehlung von mir ;)
не запускается! черный экран...
Yes! Please come back developer and add some more things. Because so much potential here....
I just keep thinking, why, just why did I bought this game, and worse, "played" beyond refund time. Guess I must write I WON'T DO THIS AGAIN one thoussand times.
Игра неоптимизирована вообще глюкует и парит даже на минималках. Как игра интересна но играть невозможно. Ждем исправлений. И Будем дальше добавлять отзыв об игре. Пока полный кал
Two fatal crashes within the first hour of play so refunded game. Both crashes happened while trying to pick options on the phone with a controller. Very disappointing, I was very keen to play more.
