Triband, the developer behind the whimsical What the Golf?, is gearing up to release its latest creation, What the Car?, on Steam later this year. Initially launched as an Apple Arcade exclusive in May last year, this absurdist racing game promises to inject the world of racing with a hefty dose of hilarity and unconventional fun, much like its predecessors.
Following the footsteps of the delightfully absurd What the Golf? And its VR-exclusive baseball-themed sequel, What the Bat?, What the Car? Takes the concept of racing and turns it on its head, infusing it with absurdity and unexpected twists. Imagine racing where cars have legs, and the competition involves activities like cooking, rope jumping, car karaoke, or even fishing. This is the essence of What the Car?
With “hundreds” of unique levels, the game offers a constant stream of comedic reinvention. Players are challenged with completing races that go beyond the ordinary task of reaching the finish line. Picture navigating courses with outrageously elongated legs, pedaling a bike as a car with legs, or assuming the form of various objects like a ball, a boat, or an unwieldy limousine.
In addition to the races themselves, players can explore islands, interact with characters, solve puzzles, and uncover hidden treasures. The game also boasts a robust level editor, allowing players to craft their own What the Car? Challenges: share them with friends and compete for leaderboard supremacy on user-generated tracks.
While an exact release date for What the Car? on Steam has yet to be announced, players can anticipate its arrival later this year. Get ready to embark on a hilariously unconventional racing adventure that will defy all expectations and keep you laughing every step of the way.
