About the Game

Explore Hermit’s Thumb Peninsula:

-A remote peninsula in northern British Columbia just below the snowline.

-One large map made up of 6 biomes.
-From dense, crawling wetlands to snowy peaks.
-Conquer Hermit’s Mountains and return to civilization.

Gather, hunt, craft, sneak and more:

-Each biome has a set of objectives and mechanics.

-Craft the tools needed to progress further into the mountains.
-Use stealth to disengage with the more dangerous inhabitants.
-Solve world puzzles devised by the local eccentrics.

Get to know the locals:

-Discover strange landmarks raised by even stranger characters.

-Find their stories scattered throughout the map.
-Uncover the mystery surrounding Hermit’s Thumb and its inhabitants.

Time is not (always) on your side:

-Dynamic lighting and a day and night cycle.

-Hunt during the day and gather at night.
-Use your time wisely or you will be stuck in the dark.

Manage your health to stay alive:

-No stamina or hunger bars, just your health.

-Gathering without the right tools drains it.
-If it drops too low you wont be able to gather, or swim, or live.
-Forage for berries, or hunt for meat to top up your stores.

Manage your inventory:

-You’ll start with plenty of space, but stuff piles up.

-Don’t throw anything away, you might need it later.
