Chill Drive Together

Chill Drive Together is a driving game about taking an open-ended road trip alone or with one friend. There is no timer or destination: the road keeps extending for as long as you want to drive. In co-op, you and your friend share the same road, even if you choose different environments.

Change the world

Press E to switch environments without a loading screen or teleportation. The landscape is rewritten behind the car, while the asphalt beneath your wheels stays in place. Choose from five environments: forest, fairy forest, meadow village, mountain pass and ancient valley. Each driver can choose a different environment while remaining on the same road.

You can set the time and weather yourself, keeping them fixed, or let the world cycle through dawn, noon, dusk and night over 15 minutes, with weather arriving on its own. The night sky is distinct from the daytime sky. Weather and sky effects include wind-driven rain, snow that holds tyre tracks until it fills them in, northern lights, meteors and fog that fills valleys until only the ridges remain. These features are part of the world seed, so co-op players see the same conditions.

Choose your car

The game has 16 cars, including a roadster, coupes, sedans, an SUV, a pickup, a van, trucks and a bus. Choose one in the garage or press O while driving to switch cars; the new car starts at the speed of the one you left. Each vehicle has different performance: for example, the bus runs out of speed in the eighties, while a coupe can reach 160, though not at the same time. Cars start at around 60 percent of their potential speed, and the limit rises over the next minute of clean driving. Braking hard lowers it again. Cruise lock is on X.

The road and its traffic

Other cars ease off in corners, keep their distance and overtake when the far lane is clear. You can choose an empty road or heavier traffic, where passing may mean waiting. The route includes bridges and viaducts, winding mountain passes and a lighthouse visible on the horizon before you reach it, as well as fuel stops and viewpoints.

Drive together

Co-op supports one or two drivers. A convoy readout shows how far ahead or behind your friend is, and an arrow at the edge of the screen points to them when they are out of sight. You can match their speed or call them over if they get lost. Positional voice chat grows louder as they pull alongside and quieter as they fall behind; a text box is also available. Lobbies can be public, friends-only or private, and the drive continues if the host disconnects.

Music and drive controls

The game includes 10 tracks. You can add your own MP3, OGG, WAV or AIFF files through the music folder, where they appear automatically, or make playlists by hand. The game does not copy your files. Open the drive menu with TAB to change the environment, time, weather, traffic, camera or car without stopping. You can enter a seed or copy the world's code to share the same road. Photo mode is on F2, the gallery on F4 uploads directly to Steam, and Auto Drive on F5 takes the wheel and hides the interface until you touch something.

There is nothing to unlock. Controls are rebindable for keyboard and controller, and camera shake, speed lines and most on-screen elements can be switched off.
