What's the plot?

I ask because I can barely put it together in my head. In a game about killer cars.

It almost seemed like a guy is forced to take care of a sick girl and she is in pain a lot so he mercy kills her? Her dad (Frank) gets mad and wants to kill him for doing that? I don’t know if I’m in the ballpark or not. Can’t see how it goes with the killer cars but I’m not good at metaphors and I’m worried that it’s a metaphor game.

Alright, let's see:
- Wife dies
- Daughter is sick
- Protagonist kills daughter
- Father ain't happy

I think that's what the plot is.

About the cars, I imagine that they represent negative memories manifesting the guilt and traumatic experiences as vehicles as a way to torment our character since that was the last thing they saw before getting locked in the trunk.

Our protagonist seems to be the new partner of Jose, who had a daughter named Andrea with his prior partner as well as a seemingly older son named Frank. Andrea apparently suffered an inherited illness that also killed her mother. With time Jose moves on from Frank's mother, building resentment. Our Protagonist eventually seems to snap after being unable to handle Andrea's care and suffering any longer, locking her bedroom door and slitting Andrea's wrists. Frank and Jose come back to this, seemingly with Frank blaming Jose as well as our Protagonist for Andrea's death, Frank then kills Jose and our Protagonist with a pistol. The game itself is essentially a Jacob's Ladder scenario where our Protagonist is not quite dead yet and is bleeding out in Frank's trunk as he takes her somewhere to dispose of the body.

The upcoming update will simplify parts of the story, because parts of it are a bit too vague (both in general and for a killer car game 😅).

I just finished it a second time and guess what, it still makes no sense to me, so im still a confused and disappointed customer.

I'm pretty sure Jose is the protagonist's son, and Frank is the father of Andrea. Frank was the one quoted as saying "it's never been the same since my wife died." There's also a note near the end of the game that implies she's his daughter. I guess we'll see what the new update brings though!

I thought this was just regular traffic simulator

If only Matt Pat hadn't retired yet this would be a prime game theory game it almost seems like Elon musk's nightmare of his own creation

I played it after that update came out, and I still am confused.
Mainly because I wasn't sure why she killed her patient. Did the father trap her in the basement with the daughter until she was better?
How did she get out of that basement after killing her? What's the deal with the car hunting down both her and frank? Are they both just being punished for their guilt like Silent Hill?
