Plan your next Keep Driving session
This guide isolates Keep Driving’s five core systems—world generation, turn‑based encounters, vehicle management, hitchhiker interaction, and music collection—so you can plan each run with concrete observations rather than guesswork.
01 / THE GUIDE
Mapping Generated Roads
Sketch each road segment as you travel. Comparing sketches between runs reveals how procedural generation reshapes terrain, helping you anticipate where resources or obstacles may appear.
- Start a new game without consulting previous maps to experience the full range of generated routes.
- Sketch each road segment you travel; compare sketches across runs to see how the world reshapes itself.
02 / THE GUIDE
Documenting Encounter Solutions
Record which glovebox items resolve specific obstacles. Over multiple playthroughs this creates a reference list that speeds decision‑making during turn‑based encounters.
- Keep a variety of glovebox items available; different obstacles may require different tools.
- Observe which actions succeed early on to guide later decisions.
03 / THE GUIDE
Testing Upgrade Combinations
Apply different upgrades on similar road sections and note performance changes. This highlights which upgrades most improve speed or durability for your style.
- Allocate resources to repairs after long travel segments to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
- Experiment with different upgrades to see how they change performance on similar roads.
04 / THE GUIDE
Analyzing Hitchhiker Dialogues
Write brief summaries of each hitchhiker’s story to record narrative content.
- Listen to each hitchhiker’s dialogue to appreciate their personalities.
- Take note of the characters you meet; they serve as reference points for the story.
05 / THE GUIDE
Cataloguing Collected Songs
Log every song you acquire and its location. The catalog serves as a quick reference for revisiting favorite tracks in future journeys.
- Explore towns and routes; some locations may contain a song collectible.
- Log the source of each track you find to track your musical progress.
