An open-world driving game with survival elements where you cross wide landscapes, customize your vehicle and hunt for hidden treasures. Based on the sparse information it looks like a small indie title centered on exploration and vehicle tuning.

The Long Drive

Driving or flying

You drive a car along an endless, procedurally generated empty road while managing fuel, repairs and supplies. Its appeal lies in the lonely, meditative atmosphere of crossing a vast landscape.

The Slaverian Trucker

Driving or flying

A truck and life simulator set in the harsh, semi-post-apocalyptic lands of Slaveria. You take legal and illegal jobs to earn money, while repairing and tuning vehicles and growing your wealth.

Fuel

Driving or flying

A massive open-world racer spanning thousands of square miles, where extreme weather like tornadoes and wildfires shapes your drives across a ravaged America.

Mad Max

Driving or flying

An open-world action game set in a sun-scorched wasteland where you hunt convoys, raid strongholds and brawl with Batman-style counter combat while endlessly upgrading your car, the Magnum Opus. Vehicular combat and the striking desert atmosphere are the highlights.

Derail Valley
