My Summer Car: A Unique Finnish Life Simulation Game Officially Launches

After years in early access, My Summer Car is now officially released, capturing the quirks of Finnish culture in a life simulation game.

My Summer Car Launch Trailer

My Summer Car, the quirky Finnish life simulation game, has officially launched after nearly a decade in early access on Steam. This game takes players through the absurdities of Finnish culture, particularly emphasizing auto mechanics and the hilarity of life in rural Finland.

Originally entering early access in 2016, it became known for its incredibly challenging gameplay and its quirky blend of humor. Players are tasked with building not just any car but also the engine, amidst the challenges of financial scarcity and everyday mishaps.

One of the game’s unconventional features allows players to engage in the Finnish tradition of pantsdrunk, which involves enjoying drinks while wearing just your underpants. Other activities include visiting saunas and participating in local fishing competitions—all while trying to get your car functional enough to join local rallies.

Despite its niche appeal, it has amassed a ‘Very Positive’ rating on Steam with over 77,000 reviews. Interestingly, while it has been under development for a long time, the game has remained fairly feature-complete, with sporadic updates since notably confirming that a sequel titled ‘My Winter Car’ is in active development.

“This game is not fun” - The new launch trailer humorously sets the tone of this unique experience.

Keep an eye out for future updates, even post-launch, as the developers promise to keep enhancing the game as needed.
