My Summer Car is the ultimate, uncompromising hardcore simulator that brilliantly mashes meticulous car mechanical engineering with brutal permadeath life survival. Set in the middle of a sun-drenched 1990s Finnish countryside, you start your summer vacation with nothing but a garage full of hundreds of loose, scattered nuts, bolts, and engine parts needed to assemble your project car from the ground up. The simulation is notoriously unforgiving: not only must you perfectly tune the engine and ensure the vehicle passes strict police inspections, but you also have to manage your own survival by eating sausages, drinking beer, and taking saunas. To fund your automotive obsession—whether you’re building a factory-perfect restoration, an obnoxious bass-heavy disco machine, or a high-performance rally car—you must take on random local odd jobs, navigate kilometers of treacherous dirt roads in various alternative vehicles, and survive the sheer chaos of rural life where a single bad crash can end your entire playthrough permanently.
