My Summer Car immerses players in the challenging world of car ownership, building, repair, tuning, and survival in 1990s rural Finland. Starting with hundreds of loose parts, you must assemble both the car and engine from scratch. The game demands meticulous attention to detail, not only for vehicle maintenance but also for your character’s well-being. Survival necessitates securing food, drinks, and sleep.
Successfully assembling a functional car unlocks a variety of Finnish countryside summer activities, often involving alcohol-fueled antics.

Transform your car into a booming disco machine, a rally car ready for competition, or restore it to pristine factory condition. Passing vehicle inspections is crucial to avoid legal trouble.
