What is Backseat Drivers?

This first-person co-op driving game follows a road trip in a car that keeps falling apart.

You also replace broken car components with improvised substitutes.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy cooperative challenges that depend on clear communication
  • +you like adapting when your vehicle starts falling apart

Not for you if...

  • −you want to play alone without coordinating with others
