RV There Yet? is a charming, chaos-filled road trip simulator where you hit the highways with an eclectic group of passengers in your rundown RV. From managing gas stops to navigating personality clashes, this cozy indie game blends humor, narrative choice, and travel nostalgia into one unforgettable journey — and it's already turning heads on Steam.
RV There Yet? Is the Cozy Road Trip Simulator You Didn’t Know You Needed
Looking for a game that trades high-stakes combat for relaxing vibes, charming characters, and a touch of travel chaos? RV There Yet? is the newest cozy adventure sim where you hit the road, pick your passengers, and navigate the messy, heartwarming reality of long road trips in an old RV. Think Overcooked meets Oregon Trail, but with campfires and personal drama.
What Is RV There Yet?
RV There Yet? is a narrative-driven road trip simulator developed by Stingbot Games, now available on Steam. You play as a solo driver navigating the open roads of North America in a beat-up RV — picking up passengers, balancing personalities, and discovering new stories along the way.
But this isn’t just a driving game.
You’ll juggle fuel stops, tire blowouts, personality clashes, map planning, and snack rations — all while unraveling your passengers’ quirks and backstories. The game emphasizes wholesome storytelling, replayability, and humor, wrapped in a nostalgic road trip aesthetic.
Why It Stands Out From Other Indie Sims
1. A Fresh Take on Travel Simulation
Unlike many simulators focused on realism or grind, RV There Yet? focuses on narrative choices, character interactions, and cozy chaos. There’s no GPS — you’ll need to rely on maps, road signs, and instincts.
2. Dynamic Character Systems
Each run offers new passengers with unique personalities, goals, and potential conflicts. You may pick up a moody teen, an overenthusiastic tourist, or a retired poet — and your choices affect how the trip unfolds.
3. Choices Actually Matter
Your route, pit stops, and social decisions shape your journey. Take the scenic route and bond with a passenger, or rush to beat a storm and risk stressing everyone out.
4. A Love Letter to Road Trips
From radio static to roadside diners, the game nails the small, nostalgic details that make road trips unforgettable. It’s not about reaching the destination — it’s about the people and moments along the way.
