≠ Its own twist: crafting mechanics and resource management, while skipping adventure storytelling
A methodical repair sim: diagnose a fault, strip the car to the part that causes it, rebuild, then test-drive it — with barn-find and junkyard modes for hunting classics to restore. The detail is real enough that actual mechanics recognise it. The tutorial is the near-universal complaint: it explains almost nothing, and the opening hours are spent unscrewing wheel bolts to work out the loop yourself.
