Hodka pairs van-life fantasy with post-apocalyptic scavenging in upcoming open-world adventure

Flazm has revealed Hodka, an upcoming open-world adventure that centers on a lone traveler and their van navigating a post-apocalyptic landscape. The game was announced at the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct.

In Hodka, players scavenge among ruins using a metal detector to find parts for van upgrades. The game features inventory management, requiring players to decide which loot is worth keeping. As you travel, you'll encounter locals in different areas who must be helped to pass through their territories.

The journey serves a larger purpose: tracking down your missing uncle. Throughout exploration, players collect puzzle pieces that gradually reveal what happened to him. The world transforms after dark, when a mysterious fog rolls in, obscuring dangers and adding tension to nighttime exploration.

Environmental obstacles like washed-out bridges and collapsed tunnels block direct routes, forcing players to navigate strategically. Wishlist functionality is available on Steam, though Flazm has not announced a release date yet.
