The car can be upgraded with better performance and armor. Armed bandits block roads, and passengers can be delivered for supplies. The game costs 1,400 yen, with a 20 percent discount to 1,120 yen until November 21.","whyItMatters":"Zero To South puts resource management inside a car rather than a base, so every repair and upgrade competes with the fuel and food needed to keep moving south.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe taxi starts the journey in poor condition, and no help arrives if it breaks down or runs out of gas.
