About Arctico
Arctico is a calm exploration and base-building game set on a polar island. You arrive to finish your late mentor's research, and you do it at your own pace: crossing the ice by dog sled or kayak, gathering resources and samples, and setting up labs and experiments at your base camp.
The research loop is about crops and data. You grow plants, run experiments and sell seeds, and the money buys new tools and upgrades. You can repaint and upgrade your buildings and your sled, and you have to look after the dogs who pull it. Exploring turns up antique objects and old letters around the island.
Everything can be played solo or in online co-op with up to three friends. The two-person team behind it has worked on Arctico for more than a decade, and it has over 2,000 reviews on Steam. It costs £7.99 on Steam for Windows and Mac.
