Arctic Eggs
Developer The Water Museum, cockydoody, abmarnie
Arctic Eggs is a 2024 single-player video game developed by The Water Museum and published by Critical Reflex. In it, the player assumes the role of a "Poultry Prepper" in late 21st century Antarctica. Having been caught trying to escape, the Poultry Prepper is sentenced to feed hungry people scattered around a fog-shrouded city. Gameplay consists of control over a frying pan into which different items are dropped… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

unlabelledView post →About Fishing Demo available on Steam (from Arctic Eggs devs The Water Museum) store.steampowered.com/app/4362430/... "a fishing mystery game that blends the calm, meditative rhythm of fishing with the quiet tension of discovery"
unlabelledView post →The Arctic Eggs developers are back with About Fishing, a surreal fishing game that's equal parts Dreamcast and David Lynch. www.avclub.com/about-fishin...
unlabelledView post →Forget 100 hour open-world games. Some of 2024’s best were under three hours long. I spoke to the devs behind Mouthwashing, Arctic Eggs, and more about the creative decisions that guide compact games. www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/2024-...
unlabelledView post →An extremely normal game about extremely normal fishing from the extremely normal maker of extremely normal cooking game Arctic Eggs.
unlabelledView post →Everyone in this thread sharing their respective bangers YES. Mine are Nine Sols and Arctic Eggs, but the impetus for the thread was Mouthwashing, a game that is absolutely not my thing but which I wish was because all my friends seem to be nuts for it.
unlabelledView post →The secrets are REVEALED: I had @thewatermuseum.bsky.social on Dev Dive this week for his FIRST video* interview about his wild game Arctic Eggs! We went in-depth on the story behind the game, insane cut content, and what the future holds for his games. youtu.be/gJeqRR1bcaQ #indiegames #gamedev

unlabelledView post →okay i know i’m late to this but it’s VERY funny to have a game called Arctic Eggs and then set it in antarctica
unlabelledView post →Funi Raccoon Game is in conversation with games like Psycho Patrol R, Arctic Eggs, Skate Story and even Baby Steps a little. When is a surreal joke more important than a grounded world? How much polish do you actually need to make an experience memorable?
unlabelledView post →I can't imagine playing Arctic Eggs on a Steam Deck or a controller, that's very clearly a mouse-based game. The scroll wheel controlling pan sensitivity on the fly is so clutch.
unlabelledView post →I finished Arctic Eggs tonight... I genuinely think if I had played it sooner, it would have slip-slided its way into my top 10 games of 2024 🍳
unlabelledView post →Arctic Eggs is great #IndieGame #ArcticEggs

unlabelledView post →🎮 The cigarette timer in Arctic Eggs was the FIRST ingredient designed—and it set the tone for the entire game. No UI, just vibes and ashes. We also talk game philosophy with @tftblpod.bsky.social! 🍎: tinyurl.com/mry53t6h 🎵: tinyurl.com/7krabj5u 📺: youtu.be/-toemxHvhI0?... #ArcticEggs #Indiegames

unlabelledView post →Sorry to keep ranting, but in the same year Arctic Eggs came out people still wanna talk like indie games are 'safe' ITS A GAME ABOUT COOKING EGGS, CIGARETTES AND HAND GRENADES HOW MUCH MORE WEIRD DO WE HAVE TO BE?!
unlabelledView post →I love Arctic Eggs so much. This game reveals something tender in me and keeps poking it until we are both synchronized in a feeling of hopeful nostalgia. One of the best projects in my portfolio. @dragonbaby.bsky.social @thewatermuseum.bsky.social @cdbunker.bsky.social

unlabelledView post →Arctic Eggs has some of the best game writing I've seen in memory. I don't mean novel writing ported into a game. I mean writing for a game--pithy in tone, animated with intention, ambiently world-building. store.steampowered.com/app/2763670/...
unlabelledView post →After practicing for a few days I'll just come out and say it: flipping eggs in a pan without a spatula is easier in-person than in Arctic Eggs, which is one of the only times in my life something was easier in real-life than a game.

unlabelledView post →"The whole pitch was just like merging the style of Cosmo D with the world of Cowboy Bebop." For my new indie crit site Postmode.org, I interviewed The Water Museum about Arctic Eggs, a wonderfully mysterious indie game where you peddle poultry in the cold. postmode.org/arctic-eggs-...
unlabelledView post →Arctic Eggs was weird af. Sometimes enraging, sometimes relaxing, most of the game making me ask wtf I dressed up Lireal and I for stream and thought we came out cute. Yes Lireal has a cigarette in her frying pan, it's okay the people in the Arctic in 2056 like the flavor it adds. 🍳
unlabelledView post →Quote with a little-known game you would recommend. Arctic Eggs: A first person atmospheric narrative adventure game where you make eggs for weird people in a bizarre world. A surprisingly introspective and fun physics based cooking game with a tone and story unlike anything you'll ever play.

unlabelledView post →New Video is up! Arctic Eggs! I really liked this game. It is a bit long, and I did not want to cut much! If you are interested in the game, I do recommend playing it yourself first! You won't regret it! youtu.be/iHGx2SPP7Js #vtuber #envtuber #ArcticEggs
unlabelledView post →56. Arctic Eggs The narrative did not blow me away but the art style mixed with the simple, but evolving gameplay centered of cooking and flipping different ingredients allowed for a fun level or challenge. It showed how even the simplest game design can go a long way with the right direction.
unlabelledView post →They look like little chipmunks I love them so much. I have a few extras that will be available for sale soon. Until then, look at them being all squishy and stuff. BG shots are from a game called Arctic Eggs, which is art and you should experience at least once in your life.

unlabelledView post →30 - Arctic Eggs Weird little game but has a whole lot going on. Amazing OST, simple mechanics and great humor. Can you fry an egg on top of Mount Everest?
unlabelledView post →Arctic Eggs (40% off, $5.99) - I love how wacky, janky, yet precise, this game’s main cooking mechanic is. The surreal story and setting is unmatched. Yes, all you do is cook eggs (and fish, and beer, and bullets). It’s a surreal joke of a game that is so silly it becomes profound and transcendent.
unlabelledView post →If you haven't played it already, I highly recommend the dev's previous game, Arctic Eggs, too.
unlabelledView post →I tried Arctic Eggs and loved the style but the physics based gameplay was too frustrating for me. About Fishing has really hooked me with its elevated style and presentation. It looks gorgeous while maintaining the surreal humor of their previous game. And I find the fishing fun and less tough.
