Open Drive is a groundbreaking racing game available in early access on Android, developed by SpecialEffect—a charity dedicated to helping physically disabled gamers access video games. In collaboration with Sun & Moon Studios, they’ve crafted a title that’s more than just entertainment; it’s a testament to inclusivity and innovation.
What Sets Open Drive Apart?
This racing game isn’t just another title—it’s a celebration of adaptability and accessibility. Designed to cater to every type of player, Open Drive supports multiple control methods, including touch, keyboard and mouse, Switch Access, and even controllers. But what truly sets it apart is its cutting-edge eye control feature, allowing players to steer simply by gazing left or right. Compatible with eye gaze cameras, this mechanic opens the door for players with physical disabilities to enjoy the thrill of open-world racing like never before.
An Inclusive Experience
From the very beginning, Open Drive was built with accessibility in mind. Whether you prefer casual exploration or adrenaline-pumping stunts, the game adapts seamlessly to your preferred playstyle. Collect orbs, chase high scores, or pull off daring jumps with vehicles like the Roadster, Trickster, or Speedster. Customize your speed settings to suit your pace, making each session uniquely yours.
Early Access Highlights
Currently in early access, Open Drive automatically detects your chosen control method and adjusts accordingly. Each input style offers distinct customization options—touch controls include 'Precise' and 'Classic' modes, while Switch Access, mouse, keyboard, and compatible gamepads boast their own tailored setups. While eye control functionality isn’t yet fully implemented, the full release later this summer will bring this innovative feature to life.
