edit: I swear I popped it. It's not showing up on the forums though. *grumble*

Is it just a driving sim?

I believe, it's more of a "repair-sim"...since you have to find spare parts for your car.
Sounds slightly interesting, though I will wait for some reviews.
Edit: I love the "the Stig" avatar. ;)

Eastern European driving sim back in the day where you had to build your car out of spare parts and make gasoline out of potatoes, Comrade.

I'd rather be driving that totally-not-a-Yugo-Koral instead :)

Check out the launch trailer in the news post, it gives a pretty good summary of what you do in the game.

My quick summary: you get an old, barely running car and the goal to drive it to Turkey. You'll run out of gas, your tires get worn, parts will break. Some of this you can fix by finding stuff along the way. Most of it, you'll have to buy at gas stations and in towns, and you finance it by selling goods (or contraband) that you also find lying about. The challenge is how far you can get before you have to give up, go back home, and try again. You keep car upgrades when you do that, so your chances of how far you'll get increase over time. Much of the challenge is also based on the fact that you have very little space in your car, and you need to choose what to take. A gas can is a good idea, for example, in case your car breaks down before you reach the next station.

I played this a lot on Early Access in Steam. It says I've clocked 59 hours in it. One run through the game is not that long, but the most fun part to me was to keep starting from scratch, because the game is the most challenging and the most fun when you're just starting out with the basic parts and the chances of making it all the way are practically zero :)

I'm gladly getting it again here, to get my DRM-free copy. And I'm curious to see how much it's changed. I last played it almost a year ago. And since I already paid for it once I won't feel bad for getting it during a sale =D.

It was here as In development:

It's been in development for quite some time. That video I linked to from Quill18 was one of the first I had watched of his.

I still don't get this game.

I drive around aimlessly doing nothing, and have to stop periodically to fix my car?

Ah the nostalgia. "Totally-not-a-Fiat-127".

Oh, I keep making these mistakes. This is early senility.

After that description, I'll wishlist it.

Ya gotta reach Turkey. And you do the smuggling, and listen to the funny 80s-like music soundtrack.
