Overview
Tikra Rida is a free-to-play casual simulation game from solo developer Daniel Legačinski, released on November 6, 2026. You play as a Lithuanian perekupas — a car flipper — starting with €5,000, no car, and a laptop in an empty garage.
The game drops you into a city where you browse ads on Autogidas, meet sellers, inspect vehicles, and negotiate prices. It's a first-person, single-player experience that blends job simulation with life sim elements, all wrapped in a colorful 3D world.
Highlights
- Inspect and negotiate: Walk around each car, look at the rust, and talk money with sellers. The minimap guides you to meetups, and every interaction feels grounded in the gritty reality of used-car dealing.
- Deceptive ads: About a third of the listings lie to you. Rolled-back odometers, undisclosed accidents, hidden taxi pasts, and unmentioned imports create a gap between what the ad says and what the car really is. Paying for a history report can reveal the truth — but it costs money.
- Free-to-play with a unique premise: This is a niche indie title that focuses on the shady side of car trading, offering a fresh angle for fans of simulation and job sim games.
Who It's For
If you enjoy life sims, job simulators, or games about spotting a good deal (or a bad one), Tikra Rida will scratch that itch. It's also a great pick for anyone curious about Lithuanian car culture or who likes the tension of a negotiation where the other side might be lying.
The game is in English and Lithuanian, and it supports single-player with family sharing.
