About the Game

šŸš—Ā All kinds of vehicles in all kinds of environments

Use more than 1300 realistic drivable vehicles, of all kinds, to get across challenging environments. The vehicles all have different properties and can get damaged, run out of fuel, get stuck, etc.Ā You'll need to change them often - and can upgrade them, too.

šŸ‘¾ A failed science experiment that takes you to the future

In a teleportation experiment gone wrong, dimensional rifts opened. Suddenly, you find yourself chased by interdimensional time-whales.

Drive through the rifts andĀ advance forward in time. In the year 2055 there is a special vehicle that will save you and all of humankind.Ā The only problem?Ā It is 1950 now!

Luckily you posses experimental teleportation technology that lets you store up to 3 vehicles on you, so you can switch between them at any moment on your journey, as you encounter various environments and obstacles.

Can you make it far enough into the future and save humankind?
