Slow Roads has been released with Linux support on Steam.
The game is a relaxing driving game without objectives or challenges, where you cruise along endless, procedurally generated roads and landscapes. At launch it costs €6.92 as an introductory offer (-10% off €7.69, until October 7), and there is also a free demo.
You can choose between several locations (Peak District, California coast, Off-World), seasons, weather and vehicles, which can be customised and tuned. Force feedback support for wheels, dynamic weather and new locations are planned for later free updates.
Slow Roads is a casual driving game designed to capture the zen of a long drive on a scenic road.
