Rainy Day Racer is a 3D time-attack motor racing game set in a Scottish city where it rains all the time, all the time, just absolutely hammers it down every effing day. Featuring:
- Arcadey, forgiving handling physics, with no collision damage and gently railroaded drifting
- Leaderboards and downloadable ghosts to chase
- 3 vehicles, including a quality transit van
- 3 courses (one bit is shared between two courses, so maybe more like 2.8 courses)
- 1 beautiful woman model who'll twirl and hold up a sign with your name on it if you set a good record

It's one of the best depictions of how utterly naff the UK looks. It's just as much Scotland as it is Sunderland, as it is the Lake District, as it is Aberystwyth, as it is Hastings.
It's one of the best depictions of a rain aesthetic you'll ever see in a game.
It's good.
"Job done..."
Ridge racer made by a indie dev, though i wish there was AI to race against cause its only time attack..
Fun, minimal racer with atmospheric vibes in spades.
Minimal in that this simply consists of doing solo time trials around 6 tracks (3 unique tracks plus a reversed version of each) in one of 3 vehicles. Minimal also in that there's no other cars or players (unless you count ghosts), and no signs of life in the deserted Scottish location this is set in. The misanthropist within me quietly appreciates this as it creates a wonderfully calm but eerie vibe that proves quite hypnotic as you tear around each track in appropriately rainy weather as the daylight shifts between night and day cycles. The road is entirely yours and it's simply up to you to zip though it as fast as you can to beat either the par times, your current best or any of those on the leaderboard of players if you feel like a challenge.
Despite having only 6 tracks, there's a certain purity in the minimality (is that a word?) of it all. It's clean and straightforward and I really enjoy that. More tracks would be very welcome of course, but there's a distinct lack of distractions, quests, events etc - just you driving by yourself and that can be pleasantly absorbing in and of itself without any other stuff clamoring for your attention. The tracks are nicely realised and have a grounded sense of place, especially if you're used to driving around the UK - there's a familiar feeling to them. There's the sense that they could be real places and I was getting vibes reminiscent of both Metropolis Street Racer and Vanishing Point on the Dreamcast, with a healthy dose of Ridge Racer thrown in, thanks to the drifting. It uses a somewhat unique drifting model which kind of makes the cars feel like slot racers if you nail it. It works well most of the time, but can lead to some pinball-esque bumpering at other times and I'm still not sure the most reliable way to engage it.
It's probably not going to vastly occupy your time like other massive racers but for the money, it's nice to have something so minimal, focused, atmospheric and uncluttered to dip into. In a world of games that like to yell at you all the time these days, it's welcome to just have an unimpressed Scot calmly tell me I'm being sloppy.
Surprisingly believable map design. Makes me wanna get out of my car and walk around in the rain,,, I know I'd regret it if I could, but that's the rare feel I get from good racing games.
And the great melancholic girl takes the game to another level :D
