He was hauling a load of medical supplies from Bern to Rotterdam, and the autobahn was a ghost road under the German night.
But Alex wasn't in Germany. He was in his cramped studio apartment in Sheffield, the glow of his dual monitors illuminating a stack of instant noodle cups. For him, Euro Truck Simulator 2 wasn't just a game. It was a sanctuary. And for the past three weeks, that sanctuary had been broken.
He dragged the .scs files into the mod folder with the reverence of a priest handling relics.
