LIMP MODE

Your car is in limp mode. So is the world. LIMP MODE is a top-down zombie survival roguelite about one thing: keeping a broken car alive on an endless American highway. Fuel is your run timer. Every stop for gas, parts or loot is a fight. And when the engine light comes on, you don't pray — you plug in a scanner. The diagnostic scanner is the weapon Designed by a working car diagnostics technician, the OBD tester is the heart of the game: Read fault codes — know exactly which part is failing instead of guessing. Clear faults — the limp mode gamble: the car runs again NOW, but the fault comes back, and the intervals get shorter every time. Disable systems — software tuning with a price. Kill the cat for more power and flames from the exhaust… and every zombie nearby hears it. Every intervention is a decision with a cost. Never a no-brainer. Driving that takes itself seriously This is not a zombie game with cars glued on. The handling leans simulation: slip-based tire physics, weight transfer, and drift behavior tuned by a real-life drifter and former tuning shop operator. If you can hold a slide in a sim, you'll feel at home here — and if a horde blocks the highway, a clean powerslide is a survival skill. Your own test track Behind your base sits a proving ground with a track editor. Lay out your own course, shake down a fresh build, dial in the setup — then take it onto the highway where mistakes cost more than lap time. Every time you make it back, the track is waiting for the next build. A car that breaks like a real car Four consumables: fuel, oil, coolant, battery charge. Parts wear out, take damage, can be stripped from wrecks — used parts come with used condition. Hit a rock and crack your oil pan? It drips in real time, leaves a slick under the car, and the puddle on the road is slippery. No radiator? Fine — until the temperature gauge says otherwise. Weak battery, horde incoming, key turning slowly: that sound is the whole game in one moment. One world per save — your wrecks wait for you Death ends the run, not the world. You wake up at your base; the same highway is still out there, with every stripped container and every car you abandoned at kilometer 40. Walk back, drive back, or send the tow truck — or let it rust. Build up your base and fleet Money and found cars persist between runs. Grow a fleet, repair and tune your keepers, decorate the workshop, and start every run a little stronger. Co-op for up to 4 players Run the highway with friends: one drives, one rides shotgun with the scanner, everyone fights. Runs start at the host's base — so they'll see what you built. Or get your crew together and get some tandems going on the race track. Tuning like in a real shop Mechanical parts, software stages and body kit — lift kits, wheel and track-width setups, paint, tint, and pieces you'll be glad you bolted on when the horde closes in.
