8 itemsAbout the Game
Welcome to Bosforus
As a country boy who has never stepped foot outside his small village, you have arrived in Bosforus, the capital of the world built on two continents. Your pockets are empty, but your goal is big: Save Money. Here, people rush, traffic comes to a standstill, and seagulls scream. Learn the language of the streets and grind tooth and nail for every single penny.
The Grind & The Hustle
Swallow your pride in this city where you came to save money. From slicing Döner to smuggling, do whatever it takes to hang on. Meet locals in legal and illegal jobs, and remember: every Lira counts.
Heavy '70s Driving
Enjoy driving bulky, heavy '70s vehicles against the sunset in a city spanning two continents. Master the unforgiving driving physics of retro games. Outrun the cops and feel the true weight of the classics as you drift through the narrow streets.
Survive the Chaos
Don't hesitate to defend yourself when needed, but watch out for the cops. Dodge bullets, mess with neighborhood gangs, and survive the chaos on traditional ALATURKA food.
A Living, Breathing City
You are no longer a tourist; meet the real face of Bosforus. Throw simit to seagulls, beat up that annoying ice cream man, chase pigeons, and feed stray cats. The city lives its own life, and you are right in the middle of it.
SOLO BUT NOT ALONE
"Can a single person create those legendary games we played with admiration as kids using today's technology?"
