My Summer Car is the ultimate car owning, building, fixing, tuning, maintenance AND permadeath life survival simulator. You start the game with hundreds of loose parts and assemble both car and engine.
Developed by Amistech Games · Published by Amistech Games









Set in the Finnish countryside in the 1990s, the game puts you in the role of a young car owner tasked with assembling a car from loose parts while making a life through the summer.
Build and maintain the car down to its individual components, then troubleshoot its engine and tune it for the road or rally events. Drive it and other vehicles across paved and dirt roads, contend with traffic, and get the car inspected.
Keep up with everyday needs such as food, drink, and sleep, and earn money through local jobs to pay for supplies, fuel, and car parts. The open-ended routine also includes household tasks and survival with permanent death as a risk.
The supplied reviews often pair frustration with enthusiasm: players describe the detailed car assembly and troubleshooting as especially satisfying once they understand it and finally get the car running. They also appreciate the freedom to take on varied rural jobs and the distinctive Finnish-summer atmosphere, while finding the game's mishaps and setbacks funny. Some reviews are strongly negative about its difficulty and rough edges.
