What is My Summer Car?
A first-person, open-world car and survival simulator set in the 1990s Finnish countryside. You assemble a car and engine from loose parts, maintain both the vehicle and yourself, earn money through jobs, drive other vehicles, and prepare the car for inspection or rally competition. Death can be permanent.
