Verdict:

Skip it

Overview

Station-wagon restoration/upgrade simulator, focusing on uncovering a mystery and scavenging resources.

This game does not respect your time (see screenshot above). I don’t want to spend my scant videogame time doing tasks I would not enjoy IRL, like pumping gas. Also, in the age of Soulslike auto-saving, this is disappointing:

Longer Thoughts for Anyone Still Here

A fair amount of buggy behavior including hitching/frame-rate issues (disappointing on a less demanding game like this).

One of the first things I do when playing any game is turn of controller vibration. Despite doing so, the controller would still vibrate occasionally. A big deal? Definitely not. But exemplative of the kind of sloppiness I found throughout.
