Arctic Drive

Pile your friends into a rusted pickup and drive into a frozen wasteland that wants you dead.

Arctic Drive (or Artic Drive for some) is a first-person co-op survival sim for 1–4 players, where your car is your shelter, your storage and your only way out. Scavenge, craft, repair, and keep the engine alive one more mile.

Just don't let anyone near the handbrake.

Your car is your shelter, your storage and your only way forward. Keep it fuelled, keep it in one piece and keep it on the road of the arctic (artic).

Damage is fully simulated: the chassis bends, parts break off, and one bad corner on the ice can end the whole trip. The cold kills you slowly. The icy road kills your car fast.

Every item in the world is a real physical object. If you can lift it, you can load it. Jerrycans in the trunk, boxes across the back seat, a trailer packed to the brim behind you.

But weight burns fuel faster, and one tight turn can spread the whole haul across the snow.

Nothing out here is junk. Empty boxes, broken parts, scrap metal: recycle it into materials, then craft the upgrades and spare parts that keep you rolling.

Find a working generator with a recycler and crafting bench, and you've found a reason to stop for the night. Hook up a trailer or an RV and turn it into a base on wheels.

Every run generates a new road. Around the next bend there might be a cabin, a gas station with fuel left lying around in jerry cans, or nothing but shelter from a blizzard.

Whiteouts swallow the road, night falls hard, and you're managing hunger, thirst and body temperature the whole way. The weather does not care what your plan was.

Play solo or bring up to 3 friends in online co-op, with voice chat. One drives, one yells the directions, one rides in the back with the cargo. And one was forgotten in the last gas station.

It's all teamwork until someone has a great idea to pull the handbrake at full speed.

• Procedural Arctic (Artic): a new stretch of frozen wilderness every run

• Simulated damage: chassis and parts deform on impact

• Physical everything: if you can lift it, you can load it

• Mobile bases: convert trailers and RVs into homes on wheels

• Survival: hunger, thirst and body temperature to manage

• Weather: blizzards, whiteouts and a full day-night cycle

• Scenarios or sandbox: chase a goal or just drive

• Co-op: 1–4 players online, with voice chat

The Arctic (or Artic for some) will not kill you, but your fuel gauge will.
