Double Fine's first game since being dumped by Xbox will be out in just 2 weeks

I don't know what I expected, but Thank You Bus Driver sure isn't it. It does look like fun, though.

Double Fine's first game since being dumped by Xbox will be out in just 2 weeks

Microsoft terminated its partnership with Double Fine Productions in a recent move as part of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's streamlining efforts. In response, Double Fine is set to release its first game since the breakup: Thank You Bus Driver, a driving simulator. The game is scheduled for release on October 14 and can currently be wishlist-ed on Steam, GOG, and Itch.io.

Developed by Double Fine Action Labs, a new label for experimental games, Thank You Bus Driver features three main objectives: reaching the next stop, adhering to the schedule, and maintaining order by disciplining unruly passengers. The studio's CEO, Tim Schafer, describes the game as a blend of Crazy Taxi and Papers, Please, and emphasizes that it is not a major title but rather an experimental, short and affordable experience.
