Haha I'm totally not doing this just to find and play a great underrated indie game. ^^

This is a really weird one:
There was a time where I played an unhealthy amount of My Summer Car. The basic premise is your parents are going on vacation and leave you alone in their lakeside house in Finland with nothing to do. Then it is up to you what you want to do. However, there is chassis and engine from an old car in your garage, that's just waiting to be put together. So you go out, buy some groceries from the next local store, realise you forgot to buy lots and lots of beer, go back and buy that and then it's off.
You're building that car in that garage part after part while listening to Finnish death metal and the buzzing of flies if you neglect showering for too long. Swearing, driving drunk on a motorcycle, hopefully not getting caught by police, going out fishing with your motorboat, finding little secrets in the world. The other characters even have some weird backstories that you can uncover.
The game can be very punishing but also super rewarding and funny. It's definitely very time intensive, so that is something you can really sink your teeth in. You do want to have a guide at hand in order to build the car, because that is one hell of a task. If you're in for that kind of experience, it's a very bumpy but funny ride.
My summer car was an absolute obsession for me when it first came out. I actually bought a sim wheel for it. Such cool game.
I love how the game broke the car game genre to focus more on upgrades/development compared to "vroom car go fast look at the 50 brands we paid to add to our game"
For real. I'm a big fan of having to order parts from a catalog and waiting for them to arrive as well. So much better compared to instantly receiving them and installing them all without input from the player.
