You are a taxi driver heading out on a long trip across the USA. You need to find fuel, repair your taxi, and find food to stay alive. The road is long, so you will have to stop and loot buildings along the way for supplies, tools, and spare parts. You can use the items you gather to upgrade your car, improve its performance, add armor, and reinforce it for the drive ahead. If your car breaks down or you run out of gas, you are on your own. Manage your loot and use your resources carefully to make sure you don't get stuck in the middle of nowhere.

The roads are dangerous. Armed groups block the roads to steal your items and money. You will run into these people often and you must fight them to clear the path. You have to defeat these bandits to open their roadblocks if you want to keep moving.

The passengers you pick up along the road have their own lives and secrets. While you drive them to their destinations, they will talk to you and tell you their stories about what happened to them after the crash. Listen to what they have to say, because some of them will ask for your help with certain tasks. If you choose to go out of your way to help them, they will reward you with rare items and extra money for your journey.
