❤ Gameplay Overview

The game allows players to fully customize and upgrade their dilapidated "bazou" (French slang for junky car). The core loop revolves around earning money through various jobs and activities, then using those funds to transform the initial beat-up car into a high-performance street racer. This progression system provides a rewarding sense of accomplishment as players witness their vehicle's gradual transformation.

❤ Flexible Vehicle Customization

Players can install a wide range of upgrades to their car, including performance parts like turbochargers and suspension components, as well as cosmetic modifications like custom paint jobs and body kits. The hands-on installation process, where players physically turn wrenches and manipulate parts, adds a satisfying tactile element to the upgrades.

❤ Diverse Income Opportunities

To finance their vehicle upgrades, players can engage in a variety of income-generating activities. These include delivering pizzas, harvesting and selling maple syrup for $200 per barrel, cutting and selling firewood, and even operating a secret cannabis grow operation that can yield lucrative returns. Each job provides a steady stream of revenue, allowing players to plan their upgrades and progression at their own pace.

❤ Thrilling Street Racing

Players can compete in illegal night races against other residents, risking their hard-earned cash in high-stakes wagers. The racing gameplay is challenging, requiring players to master the vehicle's handling and performance to come out on top.

❤ Emergent Gameplay Opportunities

The open-world nature encourages emergent gameplay, where players can explore the environment and discover new ways to earn money or progress their character. For example, players might stumble upon a hidden scrapyard, allowing them to salvage valuable parts for their car or sell for a profit. These unexpected discoveries add to the game's sense of exploration and replayability.

❤ Accessible Mechanics

While the game draws inspiration from more complex titles, it has a notably more accessible approach to its mechanics. It strikes a balance between depth and user-friendliness, making it easier for players to get into the car building and customization without becoming overwhelmed by intricate technical details. This accessibility helps lower the barrier to entry for players new to the genre.
