The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A tense, meticulous, and often absurd struggle to build a car and survive Finnish summer chaos where one mistake can end everything.

What players say

Players say My Summer Car is a brutally hard, often hilarious simulation of building and driving a car in rural 1995 Finland. Progress can vanish instantly from permadeath or random accidents, but the deep engine-tuning mechanics and sense of accomplishment keep many coming back.
