Frick, Inc. (v1.5)

A fleet of stubborn industrial trucks turns simple delivery jobs into tense tests of coordination in this deliberately awkward vehicle simulation. Frick, Inc. builds its identity around machinery that refuses to behave like a conventional driving game, asking players to operate on-screen panels rather than relying on familiar arcade-style steering alone. The tone is knowingly frustrating but playful: every mistake feels like the fault of an overcomplicated workplace system, while every successful maneuver feels earned. It is less about speed or racing than surviving the peculiar demands of heavy equipment one precise input at a time.

Players move through 40 levels, swapping between different trucks and learning a fresh control layout whenever a new machine enters the job. Each vehicle handles through its own collection of switches, levers, and operational quirks, so progress comes from reading the interface, understanding the vehicle’s limits, and keeping control under pressure. Tasks reward careful positioning and patience, especially when a poorly timed input sends a truck in the wrong direction or leaves it wedged against the environment. Every stage also includes an optional extra objective for players who want to push beyond merely finishing the assigned work, adding a reason to revisit levels after mastering their basic route.

What makes Frick, Inc. stand out is its commitment to making the controls themselves the central obstacle. It has some of the comic frustration of physics-driven oddities such as Surgeon Simulator or manual-operation challenges like Jalopy, but its focus remains firmly on industrial vehicles and compact task-based stages. The included 3D assets are an unusual bonus, giving aspiring developers material to experiment with and potentially build their own similarly unruly projects. It suits players who enjoy learning strange systems, chasing clean executions, and laughing at mechanical failure; anyone seeking a relaxed, realistic trucking sim should look elsewhere.
