Set in a harsh Finnish winter, the game puts you in the role of an adult trying to manage everyday life while restoring an old project car. You start with a daily-use vehicle and can pursue different plans for the car, from a regular road car to a rally or circuit racer.
Find and buy parts, assemble the car and its engine, then tune and maintain it as you work toward getting it on the road. Jobs and other money-making opportunities help cover parts and living costs, while the wider world offers other vehicles, driving routes and races.
Survival and vehicle systems shape each outing: manage body temperature in the cold, deal with snow and ice, and keep track of vehicle condition and engine behavior. The setting includes dark winter days, snowy forest roads, icy highways and lake ice, with permanent death as an option.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight the demanding winter survival, hands-on car assembly and the sense of accomplishment when a difficult repair or build finally works. Reviews also praise its bleak, grounded Finnish setting and routines. Others describe the experience as thin on activities in its current state, frustratingly difficult, or affected by bugs and unfinished features.
This is the ultimate sequel to the acclaimed My Summer Car.
My Winter Car is a first person survival game about owning, assembling and maintaining an old project car. You buy and sell all sorts of random parts for to build the car while trying to maintain your money situation. In the long run you might want to build it a regular every day car, or a race car for either Rallying or Circuit racing. Or you might want to turn it into a cool as possible tuning masterpiece... unless you instead have an urge to restore it and register as a historical vehicle.

Even with all the fun and interesting things, there is still terrible coldness and darkness of Finnish winter that makes the life dangerous, depressing and tiring. It is hard to keep a track even of the time of the day. World around seems to go forward, but player is spiraling even deeper in the pit he was establishing already in the original game.
BE WARNED: This game is for players who already master the challenge of My Summer Car. Definitely not recommended for any player not familiar with the original installment.
