Splat and his uncle were separated from the rest of their family for nearly 30 years when the Berlin Wall was erected in 1961.

: You travel through East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and finally Turkey. Along the way, you must manage fuel, tire wear, and engine health while navigating border crossings and scavenging for goods to trade.

: Guards became more thorough, searching roof inventory and baskets, and players could be fined for dangerous driving or harrassing motel guests.

The game is widely praised for its unique "low-poly" aesthetic and its blend of mechanical simulation with a somber, historical narrative.

: Upon reaching Istanbul, Uncle Lütfi disappears, leaving only a note telling you to live your life and take care of the car. Version 1.105 Features

While "SiMPLEX" is the name of the group that packaged this specific version for distribution, the update (released around early 2018) was a significant patch for the game. Key elements of this version included:

: After the Berlin Wall falls, Uncle Lütfi convinces you to assemble a Laika 601 Deluxe —a dilapidated car based on the East German Trabant—from spare parts found in a garage.

: Fixes for low FPS and screen issues during level restarts.
