How it feels

A grimy, deadpan, loop of fixing beat-up cars in a quirky Polish backwater while scraping by with clever shortcuts.

What players say

Players say the game has a fun, shady car-repair loop and authentic 1990s Eastern European atmosphere, but the main story is short, around 5 to 8 hours, and content feels incomplete. Performance problems like crashing and micro-stutters are common, and some dislike the use of AI voices in the Polish dub.
