A well-written story about persistence and loss, with a unique setting, as well as surprisingly intricate survival mechanics. Yes, the graphics are a bit wonky, but they're hiding a huge amount of depth. The first time I had to fight two wolves at once... man, it was more exciting and mechanically complex than you would expect from a game that looks like this. I don't know anything about Alaska, but this game paints a thoughtful and nuanced picture of the people and environment. Honestly, this game is probably worth the small price tag just for that. I usually don't think there's anything terribly important about the whole "solo dev" thing, but Wyatt White (the creator of the game) clearly had a singular vision for what he wanted this game to achieve, and I think he was largely successful.

ThreeStep: Frigid Hellscape Update

Folks,
It's been a ride, I've been working on a game about Western Alaska since 2015 (RIP BISC) and been working on ThreeStep specifically since early-2018. Working on something this personal and intimately me is really taxing, and Maria could tell you a hundred stories of me nervously pacing the apartment mumbling about mechanics or story beats or panicking that I wasted my time on a bad game. In the end, I'm really proud of what ThreeStep is and how it turned out.
That being said it is the spookiest month, and since I love monsters, ghouls, skeletons, and all kinds of kitschy Halloween stuff, so I wanted to update ThreeStep with something spooky for ThreeStep's content update. Frigid Hellscape is a small extra mode following the killing of Jackson during the Story of ThreeStep, once you've killed him (and made sure he was dead) you'll get a new main menu and a new mode available.
Thanks to everyone who bought ThreeStep, hope it's as enjoyable to play as it was rewarding to make.
