Heart Drive

HEART DRIVE is a roadtrip adventure spin on the fishing game genre, with a focus on driving, upgrading and narration. Set in a connected overworld, it’s sprawling with fantasy, sci-fi and paranormal elements. Meet quirky characters, upgrade your equipment and embark on a journey of action, friendship and letting go.
And what the heck is a “Heart Drive” anyway?

Control the three friends Hedda, Lore and Spitzweg on their adventure of finding an ancient machine ghost, travelling through the „Elseweird“, a forgotten pocket dimension filled with mystery and, well, a lot of expired wreckage.

This world is home to the „Tape Fish“, mysterious ancient machines roaming the lands. They do look like fish, and even smell a bit like fish, but that is probably the sea water.
You're gonna need all your driving skills and fishing wit to catch these strange beasts and uncover their value, as well as their secrets. You may know fishing as a stationary job, but when your haul starts yanking you out of your seat, you probably have to get a faster seat!

To achieve your fishing goals you need a fast, stylish vehicle. You have… Hedda’s old car. And even the best mage mechanist can repair the engines just so-and-so many times.
But hey, sell your haul and upgrade it! Buy tires, change the paintjob or discover new merchants for even better upgrades! Tape-fishing is tricky business, and catching those slippery automatons calls for the right gadgets - and style!


MAIN FEATURES:
Fishing-Action Extravaganza:  Why wait for the fish to bite, if you can race it? Chase giant fish with your car while trying to catch them!

A story full of characters: Meet grumpy mermen, bad songwriters, mythological beings, mechanical shopkeepers and more. They are on their journey, just as you are on yours.

Upgrades: Unlock new parts for your car, customize its loadout and paint jobs to catch fish your way

Gotta Snatch ’Em All: Catalog the colorful fauna and uncover its weird origin. 

Discovery: Long forgotten tunnels, giant skeletons, holes in space and time, and, yes, even a burger joint is here.

Snackable: Play a tight gaming experience, perfect for some evenings or a long weekend!
