Police traffic stops randomly spawn along the main road of the in-game world, issuing fines for any traffic violations (speeding, failing to wear a seatbelt or drink-driving) if the player fails to pay for a fine, police officers will eventually surround player character's home to arrest and imprison him in jail for a period of time scaled based on the cost of the fine.
Stress is added in recent experimental updates, and can be alleviated by using a sauna, drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes failing to do so will eventually lead to a fatal heart attack. Drinking too much beer (or hard liquor) will eventually get the player drunk, which first causes the player to waver and their vision to distort further consumption of alcohol can lead the player to pass out and wake up at a random place on the map the next day. For nutrition, the player can buy food and can drink beverages from the store, drink water directly from faucets, fatigue can be restored by sleeping or by making coffee or drinking it in a pub, the player can freely urinate anywhere, and dirtiness can be decreased using a shower or sauna, or swimming in the nearby lake.
Meanwhile, the player must also cater to various survival game aspects as balancing hunger, thirst and fatigue, but also unusual ones such as urine and dirtiness. A vehicle and a ventti den (serves as the second safe house) can be acquired by winning the bet against a local gambler nearby. High speed crashes will likely kill the player the game optionally features permadeath. All of the player's road-going vehicles have the added ability to tow each other as well as salvageable car wrecks. The local mechanic will also lend his muscle car while servicing the player's vehicle, and the player could win a dilapidated station wagon from a ventti dealer infested with a wasp's nest. Fuel oil can also be used for diesel vehicles, though this will result in a fine by the police if caught. Both the moped and the boat require two-stroke fuel, while the van, tractor and septic truck requires diesel. The player also has access to various other pre-assembled vehicles that only require refueling as maintenance, such as a cargo van capable of carrying large loads, a tractor and a septic truck for utilitarian uses, a two-stroke moped, and a small two-stroke launch at a nearby dock that allows for travel across the map's massive lake. A computer can be bought in the local convenience store for recreational purposes.
The car can be damaged both externally and internally windows can be broken and panels can be dented (the latter being repaired with a sledgehammer), while the engine can be damaged by things such as downshifting at high revs or careless usage of nitrous oxide. In addition to gasoline, the car also requires maintenance of additional fluids, including motor oil, radiator coolant, and brake fluids for the brakes and clutch, which deplete in use and time. leave out an engine gasket or a bolt, which will, in turn, break the car. While most parts only fit together correctly, it is entirely possible to assemble the car wrong, e.g.
At the start of the game, the car is entirely disassembled down to the last bolt, and the player must place each part in its correct location, including bolting them in one-by-one with the correct size spanner. After passing the Satsuma at the vehicle inspection office and installing the appropriate aftermarket parts, the player's car is eligible to enter a weekly amateur rallying event for a chance to win a trophy and prize money.īuilding the car is not obvious as the player must literally build the car from the ground up. To earn money for the parts, the player can perform various countryside chores for neighbours such as delivering firewood on a tractor-pulled trailer, using a vacuum truck to empty their septic tanks, making kilju (Finnish homebrew sugar wine) and selling it to an alcoholic neighbor, and picking up aforementioned neighbor from the town pub in the early morning in exchange for a small sum of money.
The player has to assemble, restore and upgrade their father's dilapidated Satsuma AMP (modeled after the Datsun 100A) using the car parts scattered inside the garage, as well as by purchasing new parts. My Summer Car is set in rural Finland during the summer of 1995, where the 19-year-old player character has the family home to themselves while their parents are on holiday in Tenerife. It was released on Steam's Early Access program on Octoand is expected to be out of Early Access around 2019. My Summer Car is an open world survival game in development by Finnish developer Johannes Rojola of Amistech.
