After the world has run out of room for farming, a scientist heads out to the arctic island of Arctico in the hopes of cultivating food there. After this scientist, your mentor, passes away, you try and continue her work and complete her research. Through letters and objects you find, you gain an insight into her life, and uncover her many unfinished inventions and ideas.
You explore the vast, icy landscape on your sledge, with the help of your dogs, and can also travel by boat, plane and foot. In many ways like Subnautica, you can collect resources that you use to build tools and facilities, which you can move them and decorate them as you please. You can fish, go hunting for clues, uncover new crops which you can sell, or simply sit back and relax in the vast tundra unspoiled by human activity.
It's a unique game that balances exploration with narrative and discovery to create a novel and low-pressure game.
