Attention console players! There was a bit of a mixup and our day one patches didn't go live until today, so if you're exploring our snowy landscapes on Xbox or PS5, be sure to update for lots of bug fixes, crash fixes and other improvements!

3 days until launch! Nerves are high and coffee is running low.... we might need our own Alfie as the countdown nears (preferably not the court-mandated variety)😅

We've been working on Arctic Awakening for 2080 days. In 7 days the game comes out. It still feels surreal that it's this close!

With just 9 days to release (!!) we thought we'd go back in time and look at some of early concepts from 2020! Crazy to see how it's evolved since then. #indiegame #indiedev #conceptart
