If you are expecting an authentic driving experience along the lines of Forza or Gran Turismo, think again. Instead, this new absurdist adventure features a car with legs
Imagine a new racing video game. Whatever you’ve pictured, What the Car? is not it. In a world where racing games pride themselves on the ever-increasing detail and authenticity of their driving experiences, pushing the speedometer towards realism with cutting-edge game engines as well as perfectly simulated motor ones, this is the opposite. This car is literally running around on foot.
Described as “an absurdly silly adventure full of racing, laughs, and surprises,” What the Car? has you playing as a car with legs, sprinting and climbing through obstacles each more daft than the last, to get to the finish line. “Not a single person in the team owns a car, or even likes cars,” says Tim Garbos, the game’s creative director at Copenhagen studio Triband.
