About the Game

About the Prologue

In Above Snakes: Prologue you play the beginning of Above Snakes and get a feel for what the game plays like.

Survival with a Twist

In contrast to other survival games, the world is not generated procedurally. Instead, generate it yourself by placing isometric tile world pieces! Start your journey in the small lumberjack settlement of Hunter's Rest and begin crafting the world around you!

Create and Survive

Determine the landscape of this world inspired by the Wild West and dictate how it will unfold before you. You have the power to decide what’s next.

Craft, Cook, Hunt, and Fish

To help the people of Hunter's Rest, you can craft necessary tools from newly discovered resources. Advance in leather working, cloth weaving, and more professions to create the best survival supplies for your adventure!

Base Building

Invest your resources into your very own cabin and establish a base for defense and shelter.
