So, anyone playing this yet? I got into it thanks to members of this parish alerting me to its existence.
If you don't know what it is, its a 'hardcore driving/survival' game. Set in backwater Finland in 1995, you have to rebuild your Satsuma (Dastun Cherry/100A0 and get it running. You have to also not die from hunger, thirst, or tiredness whist reassembling the car from a bare shell and the engine from a bare block. As resources, you have a van to go shopping in and collect parts, a tractor to tow firewood to sell to buy food, beer and upgrade car parts or tow your car or van from a ditch, and a septic tank truck you can go empty the towns-folks cesspits with for cash. You can participate in drag racing and rallys, and for that the car needs to pass the Finnish MOT style inspection. To order parts you have a mail order catalogue. It's also stupidly easy to die, from crashing the car or even just being electrocuted by answering the phone in a thunderstorm. Its infuriating, but enjoyable to play, especially if you have no real knowledge of an engine and would love to grasp a basic idea, or don't have a retro to work on. Or its just too cold outside.
Enough spiel, here are the trailers for the game..
Some of my pics so far..
Fitting the engine..
Failing the inspection..
Changing parts to pass the inspection..
Car was away at paint so I tidied the garage
For now the finished article
Tuning the engine. You have to set up the carbs, valve clearances and alternator belt (or you can pay the mechanic to do it)
So anyone playing? Post some snaps of your cars, or mishaps..
