I’ll be trustworthy: fried eggs are my least favorite approach to benefit from the versatile meals. However even a famous fried-egg hater like me was left salivating over a pan stuffed with scorching yolks by my first take a look at unusual but mesmerising upcoming sci-fi cooking sim Arctic Eggs.
Arctic Eggs’ sparse description and temporary, moody trailer paint a low-poly image of a seemingly dystopian Antarctica the place eggs (and probably chickens as a complete?) have been outlawed. (Thanks for the spot, and RPS in Peace, Quinns.)
You’re a so-called Poultry Peddler trapped within the frozen wasteland whose obvious solely approach out of mentioned frosty clime is by cooking up breakfast on your chilly companions. (Sure, I too am conscious that Antarctica is on the literal different finish of the globe to the Arctic, I don’t have a solution for you as to the name-setting mismatch. No, you don’t want to go away a remark demonstrating how intelligent you’re.)
That cooking evokes a physics-based simulation of a frying pan you’ll maintain out towards your ready dinner friends, with potential meals together with eggs, a string of sausages, fish, bacon and a pan stuffed with unlit cigarettes. Mmmm.
Because the meals sizzles away, you’ll have to rotate the pan to flip over the components to cook dinner them evenly and cease issues burning.

The entire thing is complemented by the jagged polygonal fashions of gun-toting troopers, staircases and industrial towers vanishing into bleak short-draw-distance fog, and, sure, chickens that put me in thoughts of the primary Half-Life and PS1-era video games like Metallic Gear Stable
Arctic Eggs is just listed as “coming quickly” on Steam, and seems to be the second launch from indie outfit The Water Museum after final 12 months’s IBIS AM, a weird recreation through which you’re a hungry chook attempting to catch fish utilizing your beak in first-person. It costs less than £2 and appears precisely my sort of bizarre, so I do know what I’ll be enjoying this weekend.
