About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

Life in Red Line is a realistic life simulation set in communist Czechoslovakia in 1976.

After returning from military service, you find out that everything has changed. Your parents disappeared across the border, your apartment was confiscated, and you have nowhere to go. Your only option is to move to your grandfather's old cottage and start a completely new life.

Explore the countryside, work different jobs, earn money, repair and buy vehicles, meet people, and slowly build your own future in a world full of limitations, secrets and choices.

Experience everyday life in the 1970s — from repairing old cars and motorcycles, driving through villages and forests, to surviving the challenges of ordinary life under a strict regime.

Features:

Open world exploration – Explore an 8 km² countryside inspired by Czechoslovakia in the 1970s.
Realistic vehicle system – Drive cars and motorcycles with detailed mechanics, including fuel, lights, wipers, damage, and maintenance.
Life simulation elements – Manage hunger, thirst, fatigue, stress and other daily needs.
Jobs and economy – Work to earn money and improve your life.
Buy, repair and customize vehicles – Find old vehicles, restore them and make them your own.
Dynamic world – Meet NPCs, interact with people and discover stories hidden around the countryside.
Day and night cycle – Experience changing weather, time and atmosphere.
Immersive details – Radio, fishing, exploring, collecting items, saving system and many small interactions.

Your story begins with nothing...

You return home after years away, but the world you knew no longer exists. With only an old cottage and a few belongings, you must find a way to survive, earn money and create a new life.

But in a country where everyone has something to hide, every decision can have consequences...
