Backseat Drivers

Backseat Drivers is a chaotic cooperative driving game where trust is optional, but yelling is guaranteed. Two players take on the impossible task of navigating a dangerous journey inside a car that’s well past retirement age. The twist? The driver can’t see the road, and the passenger can’t touch the controls. It’s a battle against malfunctioning mechanics, unexpected terrain, and your own ability to stay calm when everything goes wrong at once.

Driving on Faith, Not Function

The car in Backseat Drivers isn’t just old—it seems actively cursed. Each part can randomly stop working, fall off, or need a quick replacement mid-drive. You’ll constantly be improvising, whether that means taping a banana to the gas pedal or using a plunger to steer. And yet, somehow, you’re expected to navigate mountains, city traffic, and secret tunnels. If you want to survive the trip, both players need to sync up and adapt to whatever madness the car throws at you.

Prepare to Handle All of This at Once

·         No visibility for the driver, full vision for the passenger

·         Constant mechanical failures and bizarre repairs

·         Routes filled with hazards like cliffs, tunnels, and moving platforms

·         Parts that can be swapped with anything (yes, literally anything)

·         A gameplay loop based on frantic communication and trust

Every decision is shared, and every mistake is mutual—so don’t be surprised when blame becomes part of the experience.

Every Route Is a Lesson

No matter how far you get, the game always finds a new way to test your patience. One moment you’re cruising, the next your brakes are gone and your passenger is screaming about a sharp turn ahead. Backseat Drivers is designed to escalate unpredictably. Just when you think you’ve figured out the rhythm, a piece falls off or the road takes a sharp dive into chaos. You learn by crashing, fixing, and trying again—together.

Built for Chaos, Remembered for Laughter

Even when things go terribly wrong, Backseat Drivers remains oddly charming. The absurd situations, improvised repairs, and heated arguments quickly become stories you’ll want to retell. No two runs are ever the same, and every player combo brings out a different kind of disaster. Whether you win or fail spectacularly, the experience always leaves you with one thought: “Let’s try that again, but maybe don’t scream ‘RIGHT!’ when you mean ‘STOP!'”
