Roguelike · Road trip
Range Anxiety: Far East
Перегон
A roguelike about buying used electric cars in Vladivostok and driving them somewhere colder. The car is fine. The country is the boss.
You run a one-person drive-away business. Cars come off the boats from Japan cheap. Buyers live west, where the chargers don’t. Every run is one car, one buyer, one road, and one battery that heat, speed, hills and the cold all come out of.

A run, in short
- Pick a car on the lot. Check the pack, the paint and the service book, or don’t, and find out on the road.
- Plan each leg: route, speed, cabin heat. Every choice shows up as kWh before you commit.
- Drive. The estimator gives you a number. Sometimes it apologises.
- Stop at gas stations, cafés and dachas. The charger works, needs an app, takes cash only, has a Land Cruiser parked in front of it, or is a socket behind a counter.
- Reach the buyer. He walks round the car twice. Own what’s wrong with it, talk it down or deny it, and get paid by how it arrived.
- Or don’t reach him. The last screen tells you where, why, and what your last three decisions were.
What’s in the game
- Cars from a 16 kWh i-MiEV to a Zeekr 001, each with its own pack, connector and habits.
- Real roads: the Primorye loop around Vladivostok, the M60 to Khabarovsk with its 190 km gap after Bikin, and the Amur highway to Chita, 2,155 km of it.
- A real map, traced from Natural Earth, on paper that changes with the season.
- Road events written separately in Russian and English, not translated.
- A garage between runs, a workshop, a bag of adapters, and rent due on the first of the month.
- A market that reacts, and your own asking price on the cars you sell.
- A driver who gets tired and hungry, and a 12 V battery that dies at −25 °C with 60% left in the pack.
How to play
Mouse or touch. On event cards the keys 1–3 pick an option, and any key skips the drive animation. On a phone, turn it sideways.
A run takes 10 to 20 minutes and the game saves on every step, so you can close the tab mid-leg and come back. English and Russian, switchable on the title screen.
