You play a small-town mechanic trying to keep a garage running in rural Poland in the 1990s. Customers bring in rusty, broken cars, while money is tight and the village offers other ways to find work and supplies.
Repair vehicles by hand: remove wheels and parts, work on body damage, scrape rust, paint panels, and replace broken components. You can use proper parts or questionable substitutes, and each job calls for balancing repair costs, work quality, and customer satisfaction.
Between jobs, travel around the village by bicycle or your personal car to search for parts and take on story-driven and side missions. Completing missions opens up further activities and services, while repair earnings and scavenged supplies help keep the garage going.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its comic take on running a rural Polish garage, the setting and characters, and the hands-on repairs that reward cutting corners with odd substitutes. Story missions and side quests also add variety for many players. Some reviewers, however, find the campaign short and the item handling or scavenging chores frustrating.
