Arctic Awakening
(Multi, XP'd on PC via Steam)
Marooned in the Alaskan wilds with a court appointed "therapy bot" Kai is confronted with mysterious facilities and his past as he struggles to survive and be rescued.
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. I dig this lower poly "cartoon like" art style tho. Better than "hi res Unreal jank" any day IMO.
There's a bunch of interesting introspective type conversations happening in the game. Also not surprising given the nature of the main story. Kai is an "absent" father of 2 kids, which is why he's had a court appoint the "therapy bot". I also find it interesting that the game starts out with the usual Telltale "People will remember your choices" but unlike Telltale games, you don't get notifications like "<Name> will remember that".
The gameplay is pretty solid, most of the time. There were a couple times where progression felt a little tedious as I could see where things were headed but there wasn't a way to get there any faster. I do like that there's a few places where they actually "cut" a scene to prevent it from becoming tedious, as there's times you're tasked to "physically" do something that would be a pain to complete, so they cut it after you do enough to "get the idea across".
Technically speaking this was a relatively painless experience on my Linux PC. Had no crashes or other software related oddness. Did have one "bug" where at the start of a scene I was tasked with placing some rocks, the log said "anywhere" but there's a specific place it's supposed to happen and that "physical prompt" failed to initiate, requiring a scene restart. Other than that, smooth sailing thru the 9.6hr playtime.
If you like walking sims, FP adventure games, Firewatch etc, I would definitely suggest checking this one out. 👍 👍
