MY SUMMER CAR is not just another driving game; it’s a deep dive into Finnish car culture and countryside life, wrapped in a challenging permadeath survival simulator. Imagine starting with nothing but a pile of car parts and a dream – that’s the essence of this unique game. You’re tasked with assembling your entire car, piece by painstaking piece, engine included. But owning a car in MY SUMMER CAR is far more than just assembly; it’s about constant maintenance, tuning, and even ensuring your own survival amidst the quirky Finnish summer of the 1990s.
This isn’t a game for the casual player. It demands patience, a genuine interest in cars, and a tolerance for its unforgiving nature. One wrong move, one missed bolt, or one drunken misadventure can lead to hilarious mishaps or even permanent death – a core feature that raises the stakes significantly. Your days in MY SUMMER CAR are filled with more than just wrenching on engines. You’ll need to keep your character fed with sausages and beer, ensure he gets enough sleep, and find odd jobs to fund your automotive passion. These jobs are your ticket to upgrading your vehicle from a basic factory model into something truly special.
Whether you envision your car as a booming bass machine for countryside cruising, a finely tuned rally competitor, or a meticulously restored classic, MY SUMMER CAR provides the tools and the world to make it happen. The game world is expansive, featuring kilometers of Finnish roads, both paved and dirt, populated with AI traffic to make your drives feel alive. But remember, with freedom comes responsibility. Your car needs to pass inspection, and the local police are always around to enforce the rules, adding another layer of realism and challenge.
Beyond your main project car, MY SUMMER CAR offers a collection of other vehicles. These aren’t just for show; they are essential tools for daily life in the game. Use them for grocery runs, for hauling firewood, or, crucially, for rescuing your beloved project car from a ditch after yet another experiment gone wrong.
