What players say
Players compare Arctic Awakening to Firewatch. They praise the voice acting, the relationship with the therapeutic drone companion, and the episodic story structure with time-limited dialogue choices. However, players are split on the pacing: some find it a drag with boring environments and unclear objectives, while others enjoy the exploration and mystery.
