The time has finally come to hit the road.
Long Drive North is OUT NOW in Early Access!
How far can you survive your Long Drive North?
This is just the beginning. We're excited to share this core experience with you, and to build upon that foundation with major updates throughout Early Access.
Make sure to share any bug reports via the in-game f11 bug report function, and let us know your suggestions via the Steam forums and the Long Drive North Discord.
And don't forget to leave a Steam review, to let us and other players know what you think of the game!
Those of you who played the NextFest Demo will have a good idea of what to expect.
