Cherkasy Drive

The game “Cherkasy Drive” (Driver Ck) is a large-scale 3D open-world driving simulator recreated directly in your browser based on the real Ukrainian city of Cherkasy. The game map is built using OpenStreetMap data and faithfully replicates the city’s actual layout, including all streets with their real names, buildings, neighborhoods, and key landmarks. Among the recognizable landmarks are the city stadium, shopping centers, the Dnieper River embankment, the Mytnytsia and Zhivchik beaches, the river port, churches, a sports complex, the train and bus stations, as well as the port and industrial zones on the outskirts. The game’s main vehicle—a cross between the famous Cybertruck and a jet—is equipped not only with conventional wheels but also with wings featuring turbochargers, allowing it to reach speeds exceeding 300 kilometers per hour in flight mode. This allows for two fundamentally different modes of travel: you can drive on the roads like a regular car or take to the skies and fly over the city, including flights right above the Dnieper River, since the city is located along the river. The game is built in the spirit of an open-world game like GTA, where, in addition to free exploration, a variety of missions are available: a taxi driver ferries passengers around the city, a courier delivers cargo, and in other tasks, you have to chase down and apprehend robbers. Completing missions earns you in-game currency, which can be used to progress. The world is highly detailed, even allowing players to destroy the environment, knock down trees and other objects, and hit pedestrians—though the developers emphasize that everything that happens is purely fictional and unrealistic, with no blood and no connection to real people or events. The project was created as entertainment for relaxation and to explore a virtual city model, not as a navigation tool or a simulation of real-world conditions; the game explicitly warns players not to replicate what they see on real roads and not to confuse it with real life, especially in moments of panic. To set the mood during your drives, you can turn on the radio, which makes driving more fun and lively. The game launches directly in your browser without registration, and all your progress, money, and car location are saved locally within the browser itself.
