10 itemsAbout the Game
š Explore a Hand-Painted WorldĀ ā Stunning hand-crafted biomes that change with each new moon. Just when you think youāve got it figured out, thereās something new to discover!
š¶ Real Nature - Recorded in Canadaās North ā The sounds you hear in the game are real! Our lead sound engineer lives in a fly-in community in the North and has been field recording them for years. You will feel like youāre there too!
š§Never Get Lost ā No minimap to watch - you donāt need it. Explore freely and when youāre done for the day, fast travel back to camp from anywhere!
š» Donāt Look Over Your Shoulder - The animals wonāt attack you (well, unless you really, really antagonize them). Who needs fake animal attacks - the true depth of and ingenuity of real survival is fun enough
š² No need to eat every 30 seconds ā You only eat once a day at your fire, so you can focus on being in the world, rather than 4 different level meters.
š Get Gifts and Hints from your fire ā Think of the fire like a grandparent: they want you to become independent, but theyāll help you out too. Of course you can always test your skill without their help in a challenge mode.
š²No Cutting down trees ā You have to build up your stores for winter, but instead of chopping down everything in sight, you can auto-harvest fallen trees from the woods (in real survival, chopping down a tree would be a terrible waste of energy if you could avoid it)
š Make Progress Fast ā Each Night you get to unlock new quests and lore from the fire. You can upgrade your camp, process and even fast-craft overnight
šGo deep into Crafting - with the stars ā Each new craft unlocks an animated sequence in the night sky where you discover how itās really built. Exciting for those of us who love to nerd out on cool details, but totally skippable for those who also just want to get on with the next day
