This is very nice indeed, as expected in many regards as he is so able to craft melodic but interesting pieces, with some variety throughout. Working for a while on this it seems 😎

"Arctic Awakening is more a narrative journey than a survival sim, but it’s one of the best examples of the form in years." #ArcticAwakening #GoldFireStudios #indiegame #gamestic #gamesticBe
unlabelledView post →Arctic Awakening from @goldfirestudios.com was SO interesting, I really love this style of game and the story already has me hooked.

This 5 part episodic walking sim/adventure game has some serious Firewatch vibes. Not entirely shocking as it's a Unity FPS perspective game which they tend to look similar.

Episode 3 at the rock slide scene, I ran out the way I came in instead of going forward and the rocks blocked the entrance so I was stuck on the wrong side of the map.

unlabelledView post →Arctic Awakening - meh Survival narrative game about crashing your plane and finding a mysterious base in the Arctic. The survival elements are barebones, the protagonist is kind of an asshole and the robot buddy is annoying. The tone didn't work for me at all, as you can tell
