This game was pretty good, I do enjoy a horror game that doesn't take itself too seriously. Just a note, I ran into a bug (I believe) in Chapter 3 where I was stuck in between the maze parts and going back to the previous checkpoint didn't do anything. Luckily, I could get back to that chapter from the main menu!
Ich habe mir immer eine Horrospiel in dieser Art gewünscht. Grafik und Atmosphäre sowie die Idee mit dem Highway to Hell sind top, allerdings finde ich einige Elemente noch ausbaufähig. Witzig hätte ich zum Beispiel gefunden, wenn man regelmäßig an der Flasche nippen muss, bzw. während dem Fahren bestimmte Nebentasks erfüllen muss, um auf die Problematik der Ablenkung während des fahrens hinzudeuten. Ich das freiwillig gemacht und habe beispielhaft gefühlt alle 5 Sekunden irgendwo angedockt. Das Spiel hätte sogar einen pädagogischen Mehrwehrt, dem es sich selbst wohl gar nicht so bewusst ist.#
Im großen und Ganzen wirklich gutes Konzept, an manchen stellen vieleicht die ein oder andere Chance verpasst, aber ich feiere die Originalität und daher ist es in meinen Augen auf jedenfall eine Empfehlung wert!
A very intriguing and white knuckle ride of an experience! The early parts bring an ominous, dread-like feeling to the proceedings, followed by a non-stop, galvanised race to the finish!
Although you primarily feel safe in the car, there are aspects throughout 'Drive me to Hell' that make you question this - from the spectres that haunt the driver to the rampaging car-beast monster that pursues you towards the end - a very enjoyable and original indie game.
I especially liked the subtext within with the family in the diner and the resulting endgame.
I think my fav part of this experience is the sound design; I love the discordant music, the effects that play during each spooky sequence, even the car related stuff is fun. I like the visuals as well - the body horror/rot here is REALLY haunting and spooky! Also, ew, maggots. X:
TLDR; An impressive looking and spooky game with a good story!
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with this game! It appeared very surface level at first but by the time that I completed it I was incredibly impressed at the consistent level of subtle foreshadowing. The end twist was predictable yes, but it was something that was built up to rather well!
I will also say the writing was pretty good despite how sparse it was. The characters are charming and also disturbing thanks to the incredible design and visual style of the game.
I will say my main complaint about this game is the car itself. It rather sluggish to control and it felt like I was trying to fight it at times to make it go the way I wanted to. There was also a bug where I got stuck on the last spike ball when the spike balls made their first appearance. Thankfully I was able to restart from a checkpoint rather than have to restart the entire game.
All in all I was impressed by this and I will definitely be looking forward to more of your games in the future!
It's one thing to be playing a game where you're stuck in a car, capturing both the feeling of safety of being in a vehicle... and the trapped feeling of realizing you can't really go anywhere else once things start happening around you.
It's another one to go as cartoony, balls-to-the-wall with the Hell imagery as this game does.
No deep metaphors, no attempts at an ironic hell - fire, brimstone, chains, monsters and zombies, all there to get right in your face and make your drive a nightmare.
Sometimes it's nice to see something that is as unapologetic as this is. And I loved every second of it. Great work!
Had a blast playing the game a few days ago! I think it could've used a few more scary moments with the family but I really enjoy this type of game! Thanks for making it!
This game was quite fun! It was a refreshing combination of racing and horror, and I think it handled the subject of fear that can occur while driving especially well.
Personally, I found some of the scary scenes quite funny!
Nice game! I liked the designs of the spirits, really shows how traumatic their deaths were. Had a pleasant drive down to hell, took me a bit of time to find the path when our demon friend is in front of us; for some reason I thought it would be a great plan to park and turn my lights off, then clearly it wouldn't see me...

a slapper!! Loved the twist on this, and how I felt lost the whole time, but I still was on the right tack. Well done!!
