The content update for Decimate Drive, the indie horror game about getting hunted by killer cars, will be out soon! The content update is titled Backroads and will feature a new story mode, new killer cars and much more.


In the last devlog I talked shortly about the setting of Backroads, a remote backcountry where killer cars rely on heavy fog to remain unseen. I can now confirm that the new (short) story mode will feature six new locations. From forests with dense vegetation to crop fields littered with barns.

The content will also feature six new killer cars... or vehicles to be exact 😁


The content update will also feature some new moves for the player. The biggest addition being the dash ability, allowing you to dodge cars at the last second. Crouching is now also possible, so you can take routes where enemies can't follow you.

Both new moves will be available in all game modes, including the main story and arcade mode.


Backroads will be out this month, so keep an eye out for the release announcement!

This devlog is a first look at the upcoming content update for Decimate Drive, which will feature a new story chapter and more killer cars.


In the new story chapter, desolate city street will make way for a remote backcountry. Instead of darkness, killer cars will rely on the heavy fog to remain unseen.

The new story chapter will also feature new killer cars and gameplay mechanics. It's still a work in progress, so you'll have to wait and see what will be included exactly.

Be sure to keep an eye out for the next news update 😁

This is a minor update to fix the bug which caused events in the story to not be triggered.

The first content update for Decimate Drive is out now! It features the new game mode 'Hit & Run'.

Go for a new high score while being chased by killer cars. All the while you have to stop the timer from running out. And deal with random buffs and debuffs. It's fast paced, unpredictable and chaotic. The new game mode is still in beta. More levels are coming up. Be sure to let me know if you have any feedback.

With this update you'll also be able to switch between levels once you completed the story. The update also includes a couple of bug fixes. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

This is a minor update to fix the bug which caused the volume to be set to 0 for new players.

Alright, time for an update on how the release of Decimate Drive went and the future of the game. And... also a quick reminder that the 15% discount will be ending soon! 😁

All in all the release went pretty smoothly! Of course there are always a couple of bugs that need fixing, but luckily none of them were game breaking. Special thanks to everyone who reported bugs and issues in the playtest and demo!

I did do a small update (version 1.0.1) earlier this week and a bigger update (version 1.0.2) is available now. If you find a bug or issue that I might have missed, don't forget that you can report them in the game or here[forms.gle].

Based on feedback it's clear the story needed improving. The latest update of Decimate Drive (version 1.0.2) includes changes to make the story simpler and clearer.

Don't worry if this story line is still not your thing. What I have in mind right now is to release content updates with different story lines or game modes. This gives me the freedom to do whatever seems the most fun.

You can expect these content updates soon-ish. As usual I don't have a clearly defined plan for the game. So don't expect me to give release dates for the content updates or an announcement for a sequel 😅

Thanks everyone for checking out the full release! It's awesome to see you all play the game and react to it.
