The player can design car models by choosing the car's type (such as "Family Sedan" or "Van"), appearance, and components (such as engine, suspension, or safety features).
To bring those cars to market, the player can open factories and sales offices in different regions of the world.
Manufacturing cars requires hiring workers, assigning them to regional factories, and deciding which models each factory will produce.
Sales offices handle local distribution, and the player sets local prices, selects which factory supplies each market, and manages advertising campaigns across a variety of media — from billboards and newspapers to fashion magazines.
The player can also hire technical workers to research new component types, allowing to create ever more modern car models.
The game is turn-based.
After each turn (representing a month), the player gets a loss/profit report.
There are also extensive financial reports available to view in the office.
As the game progresses, rising inflation slowly increases all costs, requiring the player to keep increasing the income to remain solvent.
The player can take loans from the bank, or deposit money in a savings account to accumulate interest.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Detroit for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Detroit to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 1994.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Detroit — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
