About this game

Red Life is the ultimate vodka-fueled, car building, racing, survival game! It's the late 1980s in a remote Soviet village, where you are sent by your parents to take care of the vacation house. You discover a project car in the garage with enough parts scattered around to get it running, but you have to take care of yourself by managing hunger, thirst, stress, and more.

Once you have a working car, you should drive around and familiarise yourself with the village and its people. Some will guide you toward jobs that make you money, while others give important details like where to get aftermarket car parts. But make sure to stay on their good side, if you refused to give a ride to a babushka last week, she might snitch on your moonshine brewery business.

After thinking you've done it all, you spot a 4x4 for sale. With a gear range booster, a central differential lock, and insane versatility, you might just fall in love with it more.
