> Animal Well became Bigmode’s first published title.
> A single 5-second mention from Dunkey caused a spike in wishlists.

2/ From Modern Tokyo to a Mythical Realm.

"We asked ourselves why we love fantasy. Everyone had a different answer."

Rather than looking at recent trends, they explored the origins of the genre—from Wizardry and Final Fantasy to Narnia and D&D. This deep dive shaped the game’s foundation.

🎭 Unpredictable encounters — strangers with stories that feel eerily personal.
🌆 A dreamlike atmosphere, where reality blurs with the surreal.

Like a mix of Kentucky Route Zero and Inside, Keep Driving is a slow-burn mystery that unfolds one mile at a time. 3/3
