About:
Limp Mode is a top-down zombie survival roguelite about keeping a broken car alive on an endless highway. Fuel doubles as the run timer, and every stop for gas, parts, or salvage turns into a fight. When a warning light comes on, the answer is an OBD diagnostic scanner: read the fault codes to find the failing part, clear them to limp on a little further, or disable systems outright to trade reliability for power and for noise the horde can hear. Handling leans toward simulation, with slip-based tire physics, weight transfer and drift behavior, and a proving ground behind the player's base provides a track editor for shaking down a build before taking it onto the highway. Cars wear out, leak and fail in ways that can be diagnosed and repaired, parts can be stripped from wrecks, and money and vehicles carry over between runs. The world persists after a death, so abandoned wrecks and emptied containers stay where they were left. It can be played solo or in co-op for up to four players.
Story:
The player's grandfather was a master mechanic, and the workshop that serves as the player's base was his. When the outbreak began he was on vacation roughly a thousand kilometers down the highway, barricaded in his own holiday house with a workshop behind it. He calls his grandson and asks to be picked up. The grandson knows nothing about cars, so his grandfather teaches him everything over the phone while he drives.
