One player takes the steering wheel, another the gears, a third the dashboard, and a fourth the map. Players shoot photos at scenic spots, refuel and recharge the car, pack the trunk, and watch for wildlife. It is planned for release on Steam for PC and Mac, with Japanese language support listed.","whyItMatters":"The design makes the map seat and the fuel gauge into shared responsibilities, so the game's tension comes from the group rather than from a single driver's skill.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eDevestick\u0026#39;s car is built so that no single player can comfortably run it. The steering wheel, the gears, the dashboard, and the map sit in four separate seats, and the studio frames four drivers as the ideal arrangement. The car also has to be refueled, recharged, and driven carefully, with the studio warning it will explode otherwise.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single player can still drive in offline mode to practice. Between drives, the group parks at scenic spots to shoot photos with a tripod camera and keeps them in an album, loads the trunk from a packing list that includes a flashlight, first-aid kit, alligator clips, fuel can, and beer, and keeps an eye out for wildlife in the local grasslands.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Split Ride splits one car across four roles, so every session needs four people who want to drive the same trip.
