Survival game set in the arctic
Arctic Awakening is a premium adventure title by developer GoldFire Studios for PC. It is a first-person survival game that is set in the Arctic. In it, players survive a plane crash and find themselves stranded in the cold desolate landscape together with a bot companion as they try to find a way home.
Similar to The Long Dark or Rust, Arctic Awakening offers players a grounded and realistic experience with high stakes on the line. They will basically start off with scraps and exercise resourcefulness to scavenge for materials and deal with a cold unforgiving environment to survive.
An unlikely companion
In Arctic Awakening, you and Donovan are on a routine supply drop to an Alaskan town when disaster strikes and you encounter a storm that causes your plane to crash in the Arctic. You awaken from the incident with half your craft gone and no co-pilot in sight. You must now traverse the unforgiving cold landscape to look for your partner and discover secrets beneath all the ice.
In a true survival manner, your main adversary in the game is the environment itself, filled with unknown dangers and dynamic weather that will keep you on your toes. It is a narrative-driven experience where the choices you make affect how events unfold. What makes it stand out is the presence of an unlikely companion, a court-mandated therapy bot to keep you company—and sane—through the whole ordeal.
As you look for Donovan, hidden secrets are waiting beneath the snow, hinting at something deeper going on that might explain the catastrophe that hit and a way home. There is no specific release date yet for the game aside from a planned window sometime in 2023. If your interest has been piqued, you will have to wait for more news and updates via its official Steam page.
Survive the cold
If you like survival games that are more on the realistic side when it comes to the experience it offers, Arctic Awakening is one that you should keep tabs on. From its Arctic setting, to its story-driven gameplay, and its bot companion, it has plenty of interesting things going for it. Hopefully, more news about its release becomes available soon.
