About Arctic Awakening

Arctic Awakening is a first-person narrative adventure set in the mysterious Arctic North where you and your robotic companion, Alfie, must search for your co-pilot and uncover the mysteries waiting around every turn.It was supposed to be routine. A supply drop to an Alaskan town, auto-pilot on, guard down. You and Donovan were already planning post mission drinks when it happened. The storm. Half the plane disappeared in a flash. Donovan was gone, lost to the howling tempest. Waking from the crash, you find yourself alone, trapped in a frozen wilderness, your only companions a court-mandated therapy bot and temperatures that can cut a man to shreds. Hope for survival lies in finding your friend and maybe a way home. You are Kai, a pilot without a plane, lost in the wilderness of the far north. You’ll need your wits about you to brave the elements, find your co-pilot and get the hell out of Dodge. Along the way, you might just discover what it was that cut your plane clean in two... and what it is making those noises after dark.

One of my favorite games is Firewatch, and when searching for similar games, Arctic Awakening was first on the list and it definitely did not disappoint, i loved this game. I wished there were more, and i think that is what makes it an amazing game. It leaves you wanting more. Amazing story, amazing graphics/art style, just amazing over all. 10/10

This hit the spot as a chill walking sim with a decent story game that I was looking for. But it's not on par with the classics like Firewatch, The Invincible, Edith whatshername, etc. Plus the activist Devs just couldn't help themselves and forced an unnecessary biracial Lesbian relationship into the story.

i find this game incredible.. i dont understand the hate. it's slow, tells its own story, its so much fun. im only upto epsiode 2 and im eager to find out what happens next.. inspired by firewatch i feel they've done a great job at creating there own. i highly HIGHLY recommend this game if you're story driven.

On the fence on this one. Art is cool, voice acting is good, writing is ok, the shrink bot is great and funny, and the animations are well done. but this game is too long. 3 hours at least spent just pressing w while doing nothing. these sections could have been cut at not cost from the game. there is very little gameplay, some incredibly limited survival systems that feel like they were supposed to be more involved but didn't make it into the full game. its VERY walking simulator, to an extreme. so be mindful of that.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
