Worth it at the discounted $2 ! The aesthetic caught my attention so I bought it. It's a rough, rough game, but it's part of the charm so I won't fault it. I also imagine there's one person making this. The tutorial... needs work, but again, I'm NOT mad at it for $2! The gameplay is incredibly boring so far though... I imagine it might be okay as a background co-op game if you're talking to someone, but then again.... just play minecraft or something... I'm recommending this at $2 just to check it out, see what people are working on. But overall, this doesn't seem to be a good game. I expected a lot more charming gameplay around the dogs and traversal (kinda like Journey?), but at its core the dogs are just something you have to make sure are fed and most time is spent managing resources...

firstly i got this on sale for less than 5€, and i like it it's chill, there isn't much to do at this point in development but it is very cozy to ride around, explore the islands, and pet the dogs :3 beyond that it seems to be in active development by someone who is very able to make a stable and functional game, so that's good ^-^

Pretty slow-paced and calming. The resource gathering and survival aren't very demanding and at no point do you have to worry about resources or food. I think I ate like 5-6 times throughout the whole game since the personal hunger goes down super slowly, however, the dogs required a bit more feeding, but you have a water dispenser that gives you infinite water, which is also a source of food, so don't even have to gather food if you don't want to. The resources are similar, as in once you've discovered the map a bit, you can unlock automatisation for gathering (only wish the automatic energy gatherer didn't have to be activated manually, because for some reason it's the only one that does need to), and can very early on reach a point in which you can gather plenty of energy, which you can convert into the other resources, and basically not even have to gather, unless you want to. One mistake I made, though, was that it's good to do the gear upgrades earlier, because I made the appropriate building basically when I had completed everything else and couldn't enjoy the benefits of faster sled and tool. As for the exploration itself, it's very relaxing. The map is pretty big and might take a minute or two to get from point A to point B, but the sled basically auto-drives forward once you tell it to, and you just need to stir occasionally, and in the meantime you can just enjoy the scenery, the northern lights at night, and the chill music. And once you do get to point B, usually there was a note, and maybe some decoration, uncovering part of the story, which also heavily emphasizes to enjoy the moment and slow down.

It's nice and simple, but it would be great if they added the purpose of building something apart from your own desire. And maybe adding some more things to do and explore around the map would not hurt. Can't say it's a fantastic game, but it still deserves a thumbs up, if you like chill journeys and driving dog sleds.
