About the game
You start out with one car and not much else. Buildings along the road can hold the parts you are missing, so you search them, fix up your car and swap in better ones. The world is generated as you drive, with weather, a day and night cycle, fuel to find and breakdowns to deal with. A few zombies and aliens turn up, but most of your time goes on driving and repairs.
Up to four of you can play together online, or you can go alone. Some groups pile into one car, and others each drive their own. A friend can join a session that is already running.
Things go wrong in silly ways. The physics are loose, and cars sometimes fly off in ways nobody planned. The game is in early access, online play has known bugs, and the studio has said it will rebuild the game.
