Chrome Valley Customs Full Breakdown

Chrome Valley Customs wraps a match-3 core inside a car restoration meta-game where every coin earned from a level is immediately spent on a named restoration task. Each task produces a visible change to a 3D car model the player is authoring across roughly 22 choices per episode. Five named NPCs with domain-specific expertise (engine, paint, mechanics, sourcing, ownership) comment on every choice, and the episode-end client dialogue references specific decisions the player made, making the car feel personally authored rather than procedurally generated.
