The survival sim drops players into a mountain cabin with no food left and tasks them with repairing a junker car to cross the Arctic Circle. It supports solo play and online co-op for up to four players, with procedurally generated terrain and simulated chassis damage. Early access on Steam is set for November 25, with Japanese support listed on the store page.

The announcement names three parties: developer Pebbles Games, PlayTogether Studio, and publisher Bonus Stage Publishing. The core loop is scavenging parts and fuel to keep a wrecked car moving through blizzards, with hunger, thirst, and body temperature to manage along the way.

The world is procedurally generated, collisions deform the chassis and parts, and trailers or camper vans can be converted into mobile bases. Scenarios with set objectives sit alongside a free sandbox. The Steam store page lists Japanese support for the November 25 early access launch.
