So all your damage and expended fuel remains. When you quit and reload, you are put back to the last motel but with your current car's state. If you manage to smuggle the goods across the border (I think this is down to random chance if the guards search your vehicle), then you can make a good profit. You can learn what is illegal in upcoming cities by checking the newspaper in the motel. You may find scrapyards which you may find some usable car parts although they will need repairing somewhat. Whilst on the road, you may find abandoned crates which have goods you can sell. The game-play involves driving motel to motel, stocking up on fuel and supplies in each city before moving on. The entire game feels very desolate very post-apocalyptic. There's no pedestrians and the only humans you see are the owners of the shops motel, petrol station, and car specialist. When you do see them, they seem to sway, and don't drive in a normal straight line. There isn't many cars about throughout your entire journey.
JALOPY GAME KEY GONE HOW TO
You have to squeeze your car into a tiny gap, then work out how to give the guard your documents: You need to wind down the window and grab your documents from the passenger glove box. I was confused when I reached a guarded border.
Pushing your car is surprisingly fast though, so it's not the end of the world when it happens. He could get out and help you push but he doesn't. He doesn't even comment when you run out of fuel. He reminds you to top up your fuel, minutes after leaving the city with the petrol station. For example, he tells you about contraband after you have gone through the first checkpoint. The little advice he does give you when driving is often too late. He does chip in with some history of the area, but I thought he would give more directions or advice. Your uncle rides with you, but doesn't talk that much. Well, it really struggles at some insanely low speed. The car isn't powerful enough to go up slopes. You never need to take your keys out of the car it's always fine to leave it completely unlocked with the keys in the ignition. It's weird that you have to do this, because the game doesn't make you put your wallet back. You need to remember to take your wallet out of the glove box before going into the shops. Purchasing or selling goods is also cumbersome. You can carry a few items, although using them is clunky because the info box opens up at the right and covers up part of the screen, so it's hard to tell what you have in your hands. Then you have to click to remove a part, but it's easy to click the wrong part. You pull a lever inside your car, then lift up the bonnet. Repairing your car also has this clunky aspect. Often I wanted to close the door but end up getting out instead.
To get out of the car, you need to click the handbrake, then the door, then outside the door.
When turning your key in the ignition, I had to click below the key, rather than on it.
It is also awkward to reach your controls you have to use the mouse to activate wipers, lights etc. Parts become damaged over time and need replacing. This vehicle construction acts as a tutorial to replace your car parts. You fit on a new door, wheels, fill your car up with fuel, water, oil.
