As someone who typically dislikes fried eggs, I was surprised to find myself captivated by the upcoming sci-fi cooking simulation game, Arctic Eggs. The sparse description and moody trailer of the game depict a dystopian Antarctica where eggs (and potentially chickens as a whole) have been prohibited. The player assumes the role of a Poultry Peddler stranded in this frozen land, tasked with cooking breakfast for their companions to escape the icy conditions.
Arctic Eggs features a physics-based simulation of cooking in a frying pan, where players must rotate the pan to evenly cook ingredients such as eggs, sausages, fish, bacon, and even unlit cigarettes. The unconventional menu adds to the quirkiness of the game, creating a truly bizarre and intriguing experience. The low-poly graphics of gun-toting soldiers, staircases, industrial towers, and chickens reminiscent of classic games like Half-Life and Metal Gear Solid enhance the overall atmosphere of the game.
Developed by indie studio The Water Museum, Arctic Eggs is set to release on Steam soon, following their previous title IBIS AM. The studio’s penchant for creating unique and eccentric games is evident in their choice of gameplay mechanics and visual style. With a price tag of less than £2, Arctic Eggs promises to deliver a weird and wonderful gaming experience that is sure to leave players entertained and perplexed.
Arctic Eggs may not appeal to everyone, especially those who are not fans of fried eggs or unconventional gameplay. However, for players willing to embrace the strange and embrace the creativity of indie developers, this game offers a refreshing and offbeat experience. From its intriguing concept to its quirky gameplay mechanics, Arctic Eggs is poised to be a standout title in the realm of indie gaming. So, if you’re looking for a game that defies expectations and challenges the norm, keep an eye out for Arctic Eggs on Steam. Get ready to fry up some virtual eggs in a dystopian world unlike any other.
