About This Game

CRASH: Autodrive is a narrative adventure set in the near future where nobody drives and self-driving Autocabs rule the city streets. It's just a normal day when four strangers get into an Autocab, but they are quickly thrust into danger when the car impossibly hits a cyclist. When they exit the car, they discover they all know the victim and they all have a motive for murder! Even the car's artificial intelligence!

You play as Emily, a young woman from a small town trying to make it in the big city. You will get to know your fellow passengers, and the car's A.I. as you investigate clues, solve puzzles, and use the clues you find to contradict lies, explore new conversations, and piece together the mystery of who killed Thomas Sinclair!

A short well-written mystery visual novel. In a futuristic world, Emily, a young ex-college student gets into a self-driving taxi to get to her new job interview, unfortunately, the car hits who was riding a bike. Emily and three other passengers tried to find a clue how did this happen, to her surprise, the man who died was her late boss who fired her. Can she convince the others that she isn't the one who caused the accident? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826976232 The gameplay was really nice, I liked the questioning and collecting of evidence, the only thing the game lacks is voice-overs, it'd have been more fun. The soundtracks are nice as well as the artwork. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826977069 The characters are interesting, the more you question them, the more you learn about their real personality, I honestly didn't know who did it until the end of the game, I kept on jumping with accusations. https://steamcommunity....

It has a really disturbing "screen shake" bug and after the "crash" there's nothing appears on the screen. Only speech baloons and that's it. I really wanted to play this game. I hope developers fix this. But sadly, for now it's totally unplayable (at least for me)...

CRASH: Autodrive is spectacularly middle of the road. It’s a very east game that can be completed fairly quick. Art is solid and overall Crash is a decently made game. The ending was a bit of a wet fart but there is nothing else inherently off putting. If you are into point and click mysteries like I am, you’ll probably still enjoy this game. Otherwise, I would probably seek other titles.

A bit blunt with the references and morals sometimes but overall it was fun. Great artwork!

A cute pseudo-mystery visual novel about a murder where even the CAR is the suspect. I say pseudo-mystery because, other than two "decryption" sections, there really isn't much to solve other than to keep clicking everything and talking to everyone, linear except when you decide whether to turn in the guilty party. Definitely recommend if you love visual novels!

What a neat, charming little story. I would say it's more of a visual novel than anything, but the writing is on point. The characters are unique and diverse, and the story is well paced, if a little cliche at times.

This game was cute! I legit didn't know who did it until the end and I loved that each of the characters had really sound reasons to commit the crime. It kept me on my toes the entire time, which was fun. The game is really diverse--with sound representation of BIPOC, women, queer, and low-income folks, which was wonderful. I also LOVED that the game made social commentary around policing and subtly offered alternatives to incarceration, which I had never experienced in a murder mystery before. As far as critiques, I did feel that the characters' tone was a little too casual sometimes given the high stakes situation they were in. That said, it was nice that the conversation wasn't all business and that the group of strangers did become a fun little family by the end. Sound game all around, would definitely recommend!

A great whodunnit game with enough difficulty and humor to keep things interesting throughout. The dialogue is great, the characters are fantastic, and it was overall a fun experience!

Listen, I love this game. This was recommended to me by my mother, as she is friends with the brilliant man who made this game. The writing is amazing, the art is wonderful, and the music makes me wanna down three redbulls and pull an allnighter just to go through every line of dialog. I love the Fallout style hacking. The best part about it? If you don't pay attention you will fall behind and WON'T catch back up.
