Get In, It's Time for Your Nightmare Vacation - Drive Beyond Horizons

Hey there, it's Josh.

Welcome back to Let's Game It Out.

We're checking out Drive Beyond Horizons today, because sometimes you just need to drive.

Anyway, enough talk.

New game!

This game is in early access, and right now we have two modes.

No Limit really speaks to me.

But we're actually gonna do the scenario, because for the one available, it's called A Strange World.

Every kilometer you cover brings you closer to the truth.

Objective, find and eliminate the alien.

Well, I can't say no to that.

And by the looks of this, right, you're like, oh my goodness, what is this like?

Is this gonna be cool synth wave?

Is it gonna be like that movie Drive?

I bet it's gonna be just like that.

Well, this'll do, I guess.

Oh, a strange world indeed.

Well, it looks like the driving gods have seen fit to give us supplies for the journey ahead.

Okay, let's gather our bearings.

I think we have much to figure out.

First of all, this is our house.

And these, these are our objectives.

looks pretty standard grab a rocket launcher travel some wait what was that first one grab the rocket launcher okay well i guess this is gonna be an interesting time either way welcome to our garage and i believe this will be our noble steed for our journey beautifully painted with no doors wait no doors we have a solution for that right over here you come with me you will fit somewhere maybe okay let's see can you go on either of these if you can the game isn't letting me what about

the other side ah here we go oh my goodness fits like a glove let's go back and grab that second one can't forget there's two and by two i mean the game gave me two identical doors that can only go on that one spot well i guess it's nice to have one spare door and three empty spaces okay so you might be wondering what kind of game this is basically we take this vehicle we drive it out that garage and out onto the open road from there it's up to fate and also i guess we're supposed to kill an alien or something as you do anyway let's check out the rest of the house

Oh, I see.

I don't know why I expected this guy to live nicer.

This is us, by the way.

Every bit the person you expect they would be.

And by that, I mean weirdly muscular, approaching 50, and a thousand yard stare.

Wait a minute.

Why can I highlight like parts of his clothes?

Can I take them off?

Well, yeah, that was a stupid question.

Well, goodbye clothes.

Except the boots, we gotta keep those.

And boy, this sure is terrifying.

I didn't realize tank tops were so good at holding their form like this.

And also jeans, looking good.

Okay, what else do we have in this mansion?

Looks like we have a couple of vital things.

Obviously, we're gonna need this flashlight.

You never know what we're gonna run into.

Like a backpack trying to hide from us.

Luckily, we can grab that and put it on.

And it affords us two inventory slots.

Not to mention adding to our cool factor.

Anyway, so we'll use that to stow this flashlight, as well as this first aid kit.

And finally, let's see what's in this last door.

Ah, the bathroom.

There's never been a better time to introduce you to the UI of this game.

Behold the bottom left corner with our favorite things.

Thirst, hunger, water closet.

And water closet is exactly what you think it's gonna be.

And thank God we're relieving ourselves.

Although I don't know about you, but I didn't see him peeing in the toilet.

So I guess he just pissed his pants.

No problem.

There's no way that was the first time.

But because there's hunger and thirst, we're going to need things like whatever's in this can.

Yep.

Eating the way you eat things from cans.

Better wash that down with a nice beverage.

Also, why is it so freaking bright in here?

Can I like do anything about this bulb?

Oh, wow, I didn't realize I could just unscrew the bulb.

Wait, hang on, this gives me an idea.

I noticed when we were looking at our car that we don't have any headlights.

Can I just put this, like, right in there?

Oh, excellent.

Wait, does that work for anything?

Can I use one of these things?

Whoops.

Oh, my slippery hands.

Okay, so it doesn't look like I can put it there.

But it does look like I can put it there.

Aw, yeah.

Well, isn't that spectacular?

Anyway, that's great.

Now we're gonna... Oh, well, there's the rocket launchers.

I had no idea they were hanging from the ceiling right there.

Nor did I realize we had so many of them.

Can you believe this chest?

I know, neither can I.

Anyway, obviously, they're all coming with me.

But you know what?

It's too dark to load them in here.

So I have a better idea.

Let's just bring the car out and we'll load it in the sunlight.

That was probably fine for it, right?

I'm sure it was no big deal to run these over.

Okay, so you get in the back.

There you go.

As well as you and you.

I think three should be enough, right?

We have to at least try to shoot one, right?

Yes, of course we do.

Well, that was fun.

Wait a minute, this thing doesn't run out?

I can just keep firing it?

Oh, goody.

That means I can fire rockets into the wildlife.

I guess all four of them are coming with me.

Oh God, I can't resist.

I think I have to shoot the car.

Oh, that wasn't so bad.

We just lost the steering wheel and all the other wheels and the doors.

But hey, the radiator engine and battery are still there.

Besides, I'm sure it's not that hard to put back together.

We just put the wheels back where they need to go.

Hood goes back where it needs to go.

Yeah, see?

Everything's fine.

I even found the light bulb somehow.

Yeah, I'm surprised too.

But enough screwing around, it's road time.

That is, after we checked vital fluids.

Let's see, radiator, plenty of water, and

hydrogen kind of enough oil and for gas we're at half a tank good enough for me oh and i almost forgot this thing we can't leave without this not when we can easily strap this to the top of our car all right let's get out of here now let's see which way do we want to go let's try to the right i mean realistically is there a wrong way to go when you're on the open road

And the answer might actually be yes.

Because I don't know if you noticed, but the road ended.

Well, I guess we have no choice but to at least see how far this goes.

You never know, maybe there's something out here.

Uh-oh, I'm getting all turned around.

Now I have no idea what direction I'm going.

Oh no, and now it's becoming nighttime.

I guess if nothing else, we can answer to ourselves.

Do you see those mountains over there?

Can we climb them?

And the answer is yes, kinda.

As you get closer, objects start popping in.

I'm assuming you prevent me from going any higher.

Whatever, are we gonna let that stop us?

Okay, maybe we will.

That's fine, I have another idea.

Wait, no, car, come back.

Come back, come back.

Okay, so I have an idea.

How do we get up all this?

Well, obviously we could just run up it, right?

And I tried that, but eventually you get to places where it's hard to get past it.

Obviously the game doesn't want you going any further.

But that's okay, I've got an idea.

And it's not even the rocket launchers.

It's this thing up above.

Like, sure, I could probably be resourceful, use it as some kind of ramp, but that's not what I'm gonna try.

No, I know a stick can clip inside our bodies, so that makes me wonder.

Can I use this thing to jump infinitely into the air?

For a combination of jumping and letting it go and picking it up all at the same time.

Wait, I think we're onto something.

Oh, now we're talking!

See, that's the magic I was hoping for.

I don't know where the thing is, but hopefully this is enough to get us over that hill.

And...

Ah, well, I think that should do.

And from here, it looks like smooth sailing.

I mean, kinda.

There's just more of this forever.

Well, maybe not forever.

Our hunger meter is not looking good, but hey, can't beat that sunrise.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how long we've been running, given that our counter here has been stuck at zero ever since I left the road.

Wait a minute, the kilometers are counting up again.

Am I accidentally going the right way?

There's no way I'm just gonna find the road, right?

Well, shiver me timbers, what is this?

I've been looking for that road for a long time and this sure isn't it.

But it is something.

And oh God, my guy is thirsty and hungry.

Please God, tell me there's something here I can drink.

Oh, and there is.

100% water.

Get in my mouth.

Ah, and my water is back to full.

Delicious.

What do we suppose this thing is for anyway?

Well, there is like some kind of machinery and we can activate it.

And thus we're going to...

Well, if nothing else, it's all red now.

Anyway, while that reveals its secrets to us, let's take a look inside this building.

Surely there's gotta be food in here, or at least something useful.

Except it's mostly car parts, which doesn't help us right now.

And oh my goodness, look.

Another one.

Please God, have some food.

Oh, look.

Our salvation is here.

Well, let's crack this open and get to the eatin'.

We're saved-ish.

Wait a minute.

Is that what I think it is?

Is that the road?

Oh my God, it is the road.

We found it.

And look by the side of the road, the hollowed out pieces of a car.

If we can find the parts, we can just use this.

Well, let's see what we can do.

So that will just go on here and this one will go right over here and so on and so forth.

There's so many random things lying around.

This might actually work.

I mean, except the part where there's no engine.

That might be hard to overcome, but we'll cross that

bridge when we come to it for now we're gonna celebrate the small victories like that now we have a vehicle to sit and cry in okay cried all night it's time to continue we only need a couple more things a steering wheel probably an engine battery and radiator and a fourth wheel would be nice I guess so let's take to the road and see if we can find these things and you're probably wondering to yourself why don't we just go back and get the first car let me remind you of this moment

In other words, I have no idea where that car is.

Surely we'll just find things.

Ooh, asking you shall receive.

Hello there.

Well, at the very least, we have a battery now.

Not to mention another wheel.

And let's see, I don't want to have to take two trips.

Can I put this down and then take this and just put this on here?

Easy, easy.

There we go.

That's the spirit.

Okay, we made it.

Okay, battery, you get in there.

Yeah, it looks great.

It has a charge, believe it or not, despite how it looks.

And wheel, you go ahead and go right there.

Yes, tiny wheels stuck in the dirt.

That's what I like to see.

Oh, I guess I forgot we can go back over here for supplies too.

Oh, and I also forgot to turn this other tower on.

Oh, it looks great at night actually.

Whoa!

One in tarnation?

What is happening?

Okay, thanks for turning it green, I guess.

Well, where was I?

Oh, hey, and we can take these things, which inexplicably turn pink when you leave.

But it's not like I'm gonna complain.

Not when it looks this good.

Anyway, we got some good stuff we're gonna need.

Steering wheel, and also whatever this is.

I can't really tell, but it looks important, so we're gonna take it.

Yep, one of these, and this entire thing.

Wow, what a haul.

All right, let's take this and get out of here.

You know what?

I didn't want that stuff anyway.

Besides, this other one had better stuff.

I mean, marginally.

Or not really.

Whatever.

Just give me this steering wheel.

See, look how good that looks.

Okay, I swear we're almost there.

Then we can drive in our driving game.

We get that engine and I think we're in business.

And more stuff that looks promising.

Huh.

I don't know what this is, but might as well take it with us.

And what the heck is this?

Looks like a cardboard fan.

Well, coming with me.

And finally, we came across this place and our prayers were answered.

Behold an engine.

Quickly, let's get this thing back.

And don't worry about this place.

We'll see it again.

As you can see, I had to proceed down the road quite a bit.

So we'll be back this direction anyway.

Oh my God, this is going to take a while.

What do you mean I can't carry an engine and run?

Well, I guess at least we're swaggering.

And after carrying this thing back like four and a half kilometers, here we are back to our chariot engine in hand.

Okay, you fit right in there.

Thank God.

Seems to have enough oil.

Oh, and it works with petrol.

I hadn't even considered this.

I hope that's what's in the vehicle.

Oh no, it's filled with diesel.

Whatever, let's try it anyway.

I can't imagine why it's not working.

Don't worry, I got an idea though.

If we go up to these barrels, specifically this one filled with petrol, maybe we can just take this and dilute the diesel.

Okay, let's see.

How am I gonna get that into there?

I might have to like tip it or...

Or that.

That works.

Yeah, there we go.

Fill it with petrol and dilute the diesel.

Oh wait, I can transfer the direction.

I could have just pulled the diesel all the way out.

I guess I could have just drained it first, but instead I'm gonna pass it back and forth until it's extra diluted.

There we go, 18% diesel.

I bet that's fine.

Okay, fingers crossed.

I got a good feeling about this.

Yee-haw, there it goes.

Looks like we're finally in business.

Let's go.

I said, let's go.

What's wrong with you?

Pedal to the metal.

Let's do this.

Oh, oh no.

I guess you can't pedal to the metal when you don't have any pedals.

Well, it's always something.

Surely it won't be too hard to find pedals.

Okay, here we go.

I found a bunch more stuff.

All kinds of things, really.

Is any of it stuff we need?

I have no idea.

Like, obviously stuff like this.

Okay, fine.

You stay in the street for now.

Anyway, something like this will probably come in handy, right?

I mean, this doesn't look like it's for my truck, but let's try it anyway.

Doesn't want to go on this side, nor does it want to go on this side, but it does seem to work right there.

Huh, not sure what I was expecting.

Works for me, I guess.

Wait, what about this other door I found?

Oh yeah, fits like a dream.

Everything on this car is just oh so perfect now.

But none of that is a pedal, which is what we really need.

Ooh, is that one?

Oh my god, yes, we can put it in one of these slots.

Thank god, now we at least have a gas pedal.

And honestly, who needs anything else?

So let's see, what other important stuff do we have here?

We found a new rocket launcher, thank goodness.

We also found a radiator, which is gonna be right at home right there.

And I think a lot of this other stuff is purely cosmetic.

For example, this shark fin.

Oh yeah, it's exactly what you think it's gonna be.

You affix this to your rust bucket, and now it's more menacing.

Oh, and the fun doesn't stop there.

We've got this taxi cab thing.

And what looks to be another headlight for the back.

I mean, kinda.

And then before you know it, this looks like this.

The taxi sign now has little blue siren ears.

On the door, we have a fan.

And on that fan, we have another little fan.

And of course, when I open the door, all this stuff moves too.

Oh, and I did finally figure out what these are.

The Base Blaster 9000.

Are you ready?

Here goes.

Aw, yeah.

Finally, lasers on your car.

And there's one on the other side, too, for double the light show.

Oh, and don't worry.

If we ever find more of these things, it'll get added.

No question.

And now for the final piece of what we're gonna do.

It's time to spruce up this vehicle.

Oh my god, look what's happening.

An actual vehicle is under there.

Wow, how about that?

And oh my goodness, wasn't expecting this.

And unfortunately, that's as much as this brush had.

Well, thank goodness.

I didn't want this door to be clean anyway.

Anyway, finally time to get back on the road.

Oh, and don't forget, no brake pedal.

But the important thing is, can we finally drive?

Oh my goodness, it's happening.

The party wagon is on the way.

And you'll be happy to know every time we switch gears, it makes the worst possible noise.

And you might be wondering if we need to stop, how are we gonna do that?

Oh, that's easy.

Oh.

We'll just do one of those.

Stay perfectly stopped.

But whatever, we're cruising.

Oh, hey, remember this place?

This is where we found our engine and we're back to search some more.

Okay, let's see what we got.

Oh, a traffic cone.

What can we do with this?

Hmm, can't seem to attach it anywhere on the car.

Wait, I take it back.

What is that, the tailpipe?

Oh, yeah, okay.

Looks great.

And let's see what's in here.

Oh, so many drinks.

And also behind the bar, so many cans of food.

And I'm so hungry.

And if there's one thing I love, it's mystery cans of food.

Eaten from the wrist.

And thank God for other crap we can put on our vehicle.

You're probably gonna need to know this is a taxi.

Right there on the edge of the tailpipe.

Oh, also, we can turn this on.

It's kind of a problem with how bright it is, but I'm glad it's there.

Anyway, this will help handle our food needs for now.

Oh, and we can't forget this.

My new little driving companion.

You get to ride up front with me, right next to my fish friend.

Okay, all ready.

Let's get back on the road.

Oh, you know what?

I also forgot, inexplicably, I can't get the car to go in reverse.

Well, that's okay.

I know how to fix this.

That's what our fisticuffs are for.

Come on, vehicle, roll backwards.

Oh, yeah, there we go.

I don't know my own strength.

Okay, everybody ready?

All right, let's do this.

Every stop we're left looking better.

Also, wasn't my truck like silver and the tailgate being a little more pink?

Eh, whatever.

I'm sure it's nothing.

So far doing great.

Just crossed 10 kilometers driven.

Still don't know why my car looks like it's been charbroiled or why it's spewing smoke.

I mean, surely it's nothing I did.

Wait, why are we slowing down?

Pedal to the metal, let's do this.

Actually, wait, hold that thought.

Pedal lifted plainly off the ground.

Let's check out that water tower, which is good.

I think the truck needs a break.

Okay, let's see.

This looks so exciting.

Oh, I don't care about anything else so long as we have another one of these.

Let's see, where do I want to slap this thing?

Okay, I guess this goes right here now.

Yee-haw.

Oh, and one of these.

I guess this will be good for us.

As if I'm ever going to read it.

Either way, there it is.

We also can't seem to climb the ladder.

Honestly, probably for the better.

Ooh, and we have something else on the horizon.

That's what I love about games like this.

There's always something else for us to find.

Oh, oh God.

Wait, are we okay?

I don't think we are okay.

You might find this hard to believe, but I can't move.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Are we okay now?

I guess this is better anyway.

Here, let's see if we can get out of this situation.

Oh, good.

Oh, good!

Vehicle seems mostly intact, that's all I care about.

Anyway, let's see if there's anything fun in here.

Let's see, more food, another fish, come with me, and a restroom with stalls but no toilets.

Somehow the least weird thing we've seen.

Well, it's mostly just junk lying around, but at least we have some things that are gonna help us out.

Yeah, help.

Wait a minute, did I say junk?

I guess it's not all junk.

Oh, wow.

And we thought we couldn't get any cooler.

Wait a minute, what's this?

A trampoline?

Well, I'm not sure what we can use this for.

I mean, obviously, besides having the time of our lives.

That's fine, we'll take it with us like everything else.

Yep, things are looking great.

Also, what is my guy looking at or not looking at?

Ooh, and what's this?

More crap we can attach?

Looks like yes.

Oh, and thank God, another pedal.

Thank goodness we can have a brake pedal.

realistically though we're only looking for one thing and it's more of these the only item I care about oh yeah before you know it I'll have a scorpion tail and honestly it doesn't take very long before things start to feel real silly there's always more fans to find more little blue lights even more laser thingies look

Now I've even got a red one.

Oh, and this is new.

Not really sure what I drove in on, but I'm sure it's going to be fine.

Hello?

Hello?

Oh, thank God.

It's a dummy.

Or they're dead.

Either way, you're coming with me.

Ooh, and what's this?

New steering wheel?

Well, shiver me timbers.

It looks great.

Let's see.

Can we take this with us?

Well, we can punch it, so that's always good.

Anyway, it's out in the open now.

Okay, let's see.

Surely we can actually take this thing, right?

They wouldn't give it to us otherwise.

Oh, yeah, there we go.

There's a towing option.

Okay, here goes nothing.

Ah, good, now it's part of us.

Welp, onward.

God, there's just so much stuff happening on this vehicle now.

I guess now I have to wonder, how much crap can we just keep adding to the vehicle?

I guess there's only one way to find out.

Hold, please.

Aw, yeah.

Oh, hi, welcome back.

Turns out you can put a lot of crap on your car.

Basically, I try to take everything I found and slap it to the car.

We've got it all.

Lasers, bodies, a disco ball, fans all over the place, and I even gave myself like a weird little horn.

This is my driver view, by the way.

Can't really see much of anything.

Oh, and let me stop for a second.

My favorite feature is probably this laser thing right here, because it's attached to the steering wheel.

which means when I turn it, this laser thing spins with it.

Oh, what a treat.

Oh, and hey, more good news.

We've almost made it all 50 kilometers.

And just like that, we've done it.

And now I think all we have to do is wait till nighttime and try not to lose control like I'm doing right now.

So I guess let's just find a nice little spot.

Take ourselves a quick nap.

And then before you know it, here's the new objective.

Kill the aliens.

Aliens?

What?

Oh, I guess they are coming this way, aren't they?

Well, that's okay.

We're prepared for that.

I've got a rocket launcher up here somewhere.

Ah, crap.

Where is it?

Hey, can you guys just hold on a second?

I'm not prepared for this battle quite yet.

Ah, there it is.

Okay, let's see.

Let's move this out of the way.

Good.

Oh, did I mention I got a Canadian flag too?

Yeah, I don't know where I found that.

Oh, whoops, right, back to the task at hand.

All right, let's see, now I just need to climb up there and get it.

Game, why are you being difficult now?

Oh boy, what's happening?

Can I interest you in a Canadian flag?

Ah!

End of game, you've been captured by aliens.

Oh, okay, at least now we know what happens.

Let's try that again.

Let's see if we can get to this thing a lot faster this time.

All right, come on, get out of the way.

They're getting closer.

Aha, there it is.

Okay, we got this.

Now all we need to do is shoot it, I assume.

Oh, it didn't look like it like that very much.

Now we just need to see if we can shoot it again.

Aha, there we go.

We did it.

Okay, let's see what happens next.

Oh my God, an external view.

Yes, look at you.

You are beautiful.

You defeated the aliens with bravery and determination.

You can be proud of yourself.

Yes, yes I can.

You finished the scenario with success.

Oh, but we're not done yet.

Okay, I have a different idea with this one.

I'm gonna shoot these aliens, and the moment I hit him with the second volley, and then instead of watching this whole thing play out, I'm actually gonna save the game right now.

And then in the main menu, we're gonna load back in.

And let's see how it copes with that.

Oh.

Oh god, so much is happening at once.

It looks like the aliens captured me, and it's showing me the scenario name, and it's telling me, look at me, I am beautiful.

End of game.

Wait, never mind, the scenario changed back to the future style.

I love losing and winning.

Okay, I got one more thing I want to try.

So here's the thing we can do.

It turns out if we clip this thing correctly into our body, we can use it to launch us around.

Okay, now we're running really fast backwards, but it looks like the UFO is keeping up.

But I can't get it to launch me in the air if I'm lucky, which is what's happened.

now.

Oh, it looks like it's trying to keep up with me, even though I'm going higher and higher in the air.

Yeah, that'll teach you.

I don't know how long this can go for, but I guess we're about to find out.

Ah, now the sun is rising.

We're still floating in the air.

The road down there feels like a distant memory.

And yes, the UFO is still there trying to get to us.

Too bad their space age technology can't help them here.

And wow, when the sun goes down, you can really see all the stars.

Oh, look, and there go the aliens.

I guess they finally gave up.

So I hope you had fun.

I know I did.

And I'll see you next time.
