Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

PEAK JUST PEAK
Honestly I'm disappointed. [h3] Gameplay [/h3] This game presents itself as a "choose your own adventure" - yet gives the player very little agency/reasoning for their actions. Hunger and energy naturally deplete, forcing the player to camp and in turn spending resources you get very few of. Combine this with a very rng heavy set of events and you either die of hunger, get fatally wounded, or run out of wood to start a fire with. The only way to solve this? Dying it seems. Upon failure the game seems to add overall resources for the next run but this just makes for a really bad roguelite experience in what should be a story based game. - [i] Btw one of the achievements has been bugged for years so have fun never getting 100% completion. [/i] [h3] Choices [/h3] To elaborate on the previously stated - you can hunt some animals on the road (this consumes bullets which are limited), and doesn't even guarantee you actually kill the animal. The shooting minigame is fine but the fact you can waste ammo and get nothing out of it just feels poorly balanced when you only get 3 bullets in the first place. Some other events just seem to scratch off bucket list items in your logbook with seemingly no impact (...?) The only routing options the player can make are also between "left" and "right" (not sure it even matters). [h3] Story [/h3] The main character's only real reason for going to Alaska seems to be to "try something new"...? This with a clear lack of preparation of any kind. The game starts out with her adopting 4 completely random dogs whom she seems to know very little about (amazing idea honestly) to dogsled with. It feels like I'm watching "Into The Wild" unfold, without the interesting adventures McCandless had. Our only stated goal is to reach a cabin with a red lantern (insert game title) - which doesn't seem to have elaborated on context. [h3] Price [/h3] I can understand this is the team's first real project, and that they'd want to make a profit. That said - this game seems ridiculously overpriced for the amount of actual content (2-8hrs roughly). Add to that an uninspired story and loads of rng to pad out the time and you get a waste of money. I got this game for free and I'm still disappointed so I'd probably get a refund if I actually bought this.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 21: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Petit jeu très beau et très attachant, mais peut-être un peu court (ou simple), même s'il y a de la re-jouabilité dans une seule save.
Ich kann dem Spiel keine Kaufempfehlung geben (erst recht nicht für 20 Euro.. himmel!). Es gibt ein sehr langes Intro, bei dem man hauptsächlich zuhört. Ab und an entscheidet man, ob man einen bestimmten Hund mitnimmt oder nicht. Ich wüsste nicht, warum ich einen Hund ablehnen sollte. Ich will ja ein Schlittenhundspiel spielen, also brauche ich ja die Hunde ... oder gibt es andere Kandidaten, wenn ich einen der Hunde ablehne? Ich habe keine Ahnung. Beim Schlittenrennen habe ich dann kaum Entscheidungsmöglichkeiten. Ich begegnete diversen Tieren und konnte entscheiden, ob ich sie beobachte, jage oder weiter fahre. Ich hatte mich jedes Mal für's jagen entschieden, da der Hauptcharakter der Meinung war, mit halbleerem Magen loszufahren. Sowohl bei sich selbst, als auch bei den Hunden. Seltsame Entscheidung. Beim ersten Mal brauchte ich einen Moment, bis ich begriff, dass ich gerade ein Gewehr in der Hand halte und das Spiel darauf wartet, dass ich schieße. Ich drückte irgendeine Taste, hatte insofern Erfolg, dass mein Gewehr einen Schuss abgab, aber ich verfehlte. Ich hatte keine Ahnung wieso, da das Spiel mir nichts erklärte. 2 Mal jagte ich schließlich noch und jedes Mal war es das selbe Ergebnis. Dann war meine Munition alle, aber ich fragte dennoch mal Google, was ich beim Schießen eigentlich zu tun habe. Ich bekam eine Antwort, hatte ja aber keine Chance mehr, es noch mal auszuprobieren, da ich keine Munition mehr hatte. Also.. ich startete nicht nur mit leeren Mägen auf eine Tour durch Alaska, nein, ich nahm auch nicht genug zu essen für alle mit und gerade mal 3, vielleicht auch eine verdrängte 4. Kugel für die Jagd. Wie dumm ist denn bitte dieser Hauptcharakter? Reden kann sie. Viel. Sehr viel. Sie redet eigentlich die ganze Zeit. Es ist durchaus angenehm, ihr zuzuhören, sie hat eine angenehme Synchronstimme, aber das Spiel rettet diese Stimme nicht. Wenn ihr euch für das Spiel interessiert, sucht zuvor nach einem Youtubevideo, um zu sehen, ob es eurem Geschmack entspricht. Wenn es das tut (einer Geschichte zu lauschen, statt viel selbst zu tun, mögen ja manche - ich nicht sooooo sehr, ich spiele lieber richtig), dann kauft es nicht für 20 Euro! Ich halte diesen Preis für einen Lockpreis, damit die Leute bei dem hohen Rabatt, für den das Spiel anscheinend öfter angeboten wird, glauben, ein Schnäppchen gemacht zu haben. Aktuell kostet es ca. 2,09 Euro. Wenn es euch wirklich interessiert, kauft es maximal für diese 2 Euro! Das ist natürlich nur eine Empfehlung. Ihr könnt machen was ihr wollt und im Notfall könnt ihr es ja nach unter 2 Stunden Spielzeit reklamieren.
Очень понравилась игра. Анимации здесь вообще отдельный плюс — их действительно много, и смотреть приятно. Единственный минус — ты почти не управляешь персонажем, в основном только выбираешь варианты действий и направление. Иногда ещё странно работает система лагерей: выбираешь правильный путь — лагеря нет, выбираешь вообще не то — и он внезапно появляется. А так игра атмосферная и очень приятная. Положительный отзыв однозначно.
Un système rogue lite avec des outils à collecter selon les runs qui améliorerons la qualité de vie des futures run, ex : une hache pour collecter de l'écorce facilement. Le jeu reste très simple avec simplement des choix type droite/gauche et tuer / ne pas tuer. En gros. Astuce : après avoir sauvegardé une fois, redémarrez une partie sur le fichier de sauvegarde 2, car certaines personnes peuvent être limité dans les objets trouvables sur la 1ere save.
THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVERR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful, immersive and wholesome game <3 I particularly enjoyed being able to choose the furry members of my team and seeing how each of them evolve through the adventure. There is an option to turn off the possibility for your dogs to die, if you are like me and can't stand it when pets die in video games ! I love that the game doesn't punish the player for choosing to take more risks while exploring, too. A little gem if you are into cosy exploration, I would say <3
PRETTY ♥♥♥♥
