Play Overview
My Summer Car (2016) is a strategy game about doing up a broken-down car over one long summer. It sounds simple, but the level of detail is the attraction here. You start the game with hundreds of loose parts and assemble both your car and engine. Not only do you own, build, fix and tune your car but then do all manner of other life simulator things with your new wheels.
Every part matters in this hyper-detailed car maintenance simulator. You need not only the right parts but the right tools to fit them. It's a game that's been around for a number of years and has developed to include the wider life of the car mechanic as well as the car-fixing challenge.
As you progress, if things go well you build a working car and take it out on the open road in the Finnish countryside. Work to get extra money and you can tune and upgrade your ride with the parts you order. Maybe you want a bass-boom disco machine. Maybe you want a rally car to race. Maybe you need something for the school run. How you fix your car is up to you.
The result is a game that sets the impossible task of building a car from scratch. A big part of the phenomenon here is that there are so many players who want to take on assembling a car with over a hundred parts.
