Road trip management RPG Keep Driving added controller support, working on being Steam Deck Verified

Keep Driving is a road trip management RPG that I'm quite a big fan of, and now I'll be able to relax a little more on my next run with the recently added controller support.

More about it: "Keep Driving is a management RPG about slowly making your way through a procedurally generated pixel art open world. Pick up hitchhikers with their own personalities and stories; upgrade, customize and repair your car. Solve challenges on the road using a unique turn-based ‘combat’ system, using your own skills and whatever’s lying around in the glovebox to make it through."

In an update posted May 1st the developer noted a bunch of extra content has been added, along with full controller support. In a follow-up post, they also noted it's hit over 100,000 sales and they're now hoping with the latest update they can get Valve to check it again and rate it Steam Deck Verified.
