To The Rescue!
TLDR: I’ve quite enjoyed this game so far, worth the thumbs up, but there is room for improvement. Give it a go if you’re a fan of organization and multi-tasking, but be mindful that eventually at some point, sooner or later, the challenge fades away. The game lacks consequences.
Strap in lads this is gonna be a long one.
This is my first review of any game ever, nearly 50 hrs deep, I feel pretty divided on this game. I really have enjoyed it and I can’t wait to see where the developers will take the game from here. Yes there are bugs, but I do want to say you guys have been so prompt with updates and fixes, what felt like after the weekend the majority of bugs I was experiencing had been completely fixed. We went from nearly unplayable because the game simply ceased to function whenever I spoke to anyone to the worst, but probably funniest, being today helplessly dragged along with the newly adopted puppy by a old woman out into the carpark. Understandably bug fixes and crashes come first, but in the long run will there be any major changes to the game play itself? Or will it remain as is? Either way Devs you guys are amazing and keep up the great work!

My save file shows a time of 6:37 and steam 14.2 - and I feel like I have no reason to play anymore. I really wanted to love this game but it’s just too..aimless? short?
I was completely addicted to it during the demo, where the limit was 5 in game days! Don’t get me wrong, despite everything, I enjoyed playing the game. But at present I’d only recommend it at a larger discount unless you’re happy to play endlessly without any real goal.
I’m a really goal orientated person when it comes to games like this - if I don’t have a story-based task, or I’m not trying to unlock something useful, if there aren’t any meaningful objectives/level progression then I lose interest. There’s no difficulty increase or anything like that, if anything the game only gets drastically easier. The Mayor stops coming by after you complete her tutorial-esque tasks and apparently comes back at week 9 with an evaluation report. I’m on week 5, and I’m kind of too bored of the game to worry about seeing said report - I stopped playing.

WTF is artico.
This isn’t ARTICO. this is… Eternal Winter.
They’ve changed the game, changed the name. The review below is now useless.
~~Be wary of some of these reviews, especially the negative ones - for some reason people think that they can play this game for 35mins and ‘see’ everything that it has to offer.
Overall Impressions:
It’s a Zen-like survival game, without zombies. Finally. Or 13yo camp-snipers. Those two aspects alone are reason enough to buy it. It’s permadeath, for you, and your dogs, and you are the village ‘champion’ - if they run out of supplies, they can die, and you lose. GG. Game over.~~

As much as i’d want to, i just cannot recommend this game at this time.
- Quite nice design and core idea of getting around by dogsled
~ Specific gameplay with a main goal of building up a village and survive storms by means of hunting and gathering
- Everchanging concepts and mechanics
So far it’s the only Early Access game i seriously regret i bough. For more then a year the game has been sitting in my inventory, it has gone through at least 3 major concept changes, and now it’s only a shade of what i’ve been buying.
