How to Manage All Player Attributes in My Winter Car

by

I’m really hooked on My Winter Car, but it’s way more than just a driving game! It’s a total survival challenge where you’re constantly trying to stay alive. The game keeps track of things like your hunger, thirst, and warmth right at the top of the screen, and honestly, if you ignore even one for too long, you’re in serious trouble – or it’s game over. What’s cool is how everything is connected. If you let one thing slip, like getting too hungry, it’ll quickly make everything else worse in My Winter Car. It’s tough, but so rewarding!

All Player Stats in My Winter Car & How to Manage Them

Player Stat How it Works Management
Problem The Problem stat replaces the old thirst system and represents alcohol and stimulant dependency rather than hydration. According to the game’s lore, your character is an alcoholic, and ignoring this stat will quickly lead to fatal outcomes. Alcoholic drinks like beer are the main way to reduce the Problem meter. Water has little to no effect on it. Beer and alcohol can be purchased from Teimo’s shop and should be used only when needed, as they come with other side effects.
Hunger Hunger increases steadily over time and represents how close your character is to starvation. If the Hunger meter fills completely, your character will die. To manage hunger, you must eat food purchased from Teimo’s shop or Pub Nappo. Moose meat is one of the most effective foods in My Winter Car. You can get it by harvesting a moose found roaming the roads around Peräjärvi. Drinks can reduce hunger slightly, but they are not a reliable substitute for proper meals.
Sweat Sweating is another mechanic in My Winter Car. Sweat builds up when you wear heavy clothing in warm environments. It is also affected by your weight. To manage sweat, remove unnecessary layers when indoors, You can take showers to wash away sweat too.
Urine The Urine stat represents bladder fullness and fills over time, especially after drinking. If ignored, it causes stress and can eventually lead to death from a burst bladder. To manage it, use a toilet or urinate outside by pressing the P key. Planning ahead is important if you expect to be working or driving for long periods.
Fatigue Fatigue increases the longer you stay awake and can cause blackouts if it reaches max level. The best way to reduce fatigue is sleeping on beds or sofas found in houses, cabins, or vehicles like the Gifu. Sleeping indoors is safer due to the cold.
Body Temperature Body temperature measures how cold your character is. If it drops too low, hypothermia sets in. The trick here is to wear appropriate clothing for the weather. Stay near heaters, fireplaces, warm buildings, or inside heated vehicles to maintain body temperature.
Stress Stress is one of the most dangerous stats if left unchecked. It builds up during work, driving, survival tasks, and negative events like traffic fines, hangovers, or failed inspections. If the Stress bar fills, your character will die. Stress can be reduced in many ways, including drinking coffee, eating grilled meats, using the sauna, chopping firewood, and even swearing by pressing the N key. You can also reduce stress by performing successful activities like winning the rally or passing inspection.
