✦ AI summary

ARCTIC CTHULHU is a very short walking simulator that succeeds primarily through its retro PSX-style aesthetic and atmospheric storytelling, but is held back by minimal gameplay consisting mainly of slowly moving boxes and watching cutscenes without meaningful exploration or interaction options. Players generally agree the atmospheric presentation makes it worth experiencing on sale, though most feel the core experience is too brief and repetitive to justify its full price, with some finding even the discounted cost questionable given the lack of depth or replayability.

The only thing this game has going for it is the aesthetics. Otherwise you're just moving around 3 boxes painfully slow to a car and sitting in a short cutscene about 7 or so times until the game just ends. Sorry, but not even worth the $0.75 I paid for it, I can't believe the developer has the gall to charge $6 for this normally

ARCTIC CTHULHU is an extremely short, PSX-style point-and-click walking simulator that is mostly carried by its atmosphere and graphics. The gameplay consists of mundane tasks like carrying three crates back to your vehicle, while occasionally interacting with a radio, a book, and a man sitting in a wheelchair to learn more about the lore. The game lacks achievements and multiple endings. It cuts short abruptly, leaving you with nothing to do after loading crates and watching painfully slow cutscenes for half an hour. Despite being tagged as an "Exploration" title, you cannot even explore beyond the immediate spawn area. With no collectibles section and no sprint mechanic, you are left walking in circles, wondering if you missed any books scattered in the snow. All in all, it feels so unfinished and rushed that I doubt it was even worth the €0.73 I paid, let alone the €6.15 base price. You can get much better bang for your buck with other €0.49 games.

Very bare bones game, but for the price I have no complaints. It certainly depicts the right sort of vibe and that's really what I found most effective in this experience. Now, I am not sure if there is just the one ending or if different outcomes are possible, but this works as is. I just wish there was more to it.

I am not sure what I just played but I am sure that I know what it's like to be an Amazon Delivery Driver now. . . Worth it on sale.
