The Short Drive

A Roadtrip of Survival and Scrap

Made in 48 hours during WonderJam Hiver 2025

The road ahead is long, and your truck? Well... it's seen better days. The Short Drive is a scrappy, survival-driven road trip adventure where you'll have to scavenge, trade, and repair to make it past the border. Inspired by classics like Jalopy and The Long Drive, this game challenges you to keep your wheels turning against all odds.

🚚 The Journey

You’re a lone driver in a mysterious, desolate land, trying to cross the frontier. But there’s a problem—your truck is barely holding together. Every mile is a struggle, every town a potential goldmine or a dead end.

Key Features:

• Fix & Upgrade Your Ride – Find and install spare parts to keep your truck running. Or strip it down and rebuild it from scratch!
• Trade & Barter – Sell scrap, buy fuel, and invest in better upgrades to push further down the road.
• Survive the Road – Manage your hunger, thirst, and happiness—because a broken truck is bad, but a broken driver is worse.

🔧 Will You Make It?

Every decision matters. Do you spend your last coins on food or fuel? Risk driving with a busted radiator, or scavenge for parts and lose time? The road is harsh, but with the right choices, a bit of luck, and a lot of duct tape, you just might make it.
