## About My Summer Car

My Summer Car is an indie simulation developed by Amistech Games in which players assemble and maintain vehicles from hundreds of loose parts. The game tasks players with building engines component by component, finding work to earn money, and managing hunger and thirst while navigating rural Finland. Mechanics include a drunkenness system, physics-based destruction, and survival elements that create a punishing economy where mistakes are costly. Reviewers highlight that the detailed automotive systems teach real-world mechanical knowledge and that car assembly feels painfully realistic. Players describe the dark humor and emergent chaos as creating endless replayability, while the isolated Finnish countryside contributes to an atmospheric and stressful tone. The game holds a 93 percent positive rating from over 36,000 Steam reviews and is playable on Steam Deck.
