In a fictional Wild West setting after an apocalyptic event, you begin in the devastated settlement of Hunter's Rest and help its survivors rebuild while investigating what happened.
Rather than exploring a fixed map, you expand the isometric world by placing terrain pieces as you travel. Gather resources and use them to craft tools and supplies, cook, hunt, fish, and farm.
Quests guide your work around the settlement and your journey into new areas. Build a cabin for shelter and defense, improve your base, and develop crafting professions such as leatherworking and cloth weaving.
Players who enjoy the prologue often highlight its tile-based world building, which lets them shape the map as they explore and gives discovery a sense of progression. Reviews also appreciate the relaxed pace, frontier atmosphere, and the mix of crafting, gathering, and building a personal base. Some find the survival systems and combat straightforward, and several note that the prologue ends just as its systems begin to open up.
In Above Snakes: Prologue you play the beginning of Above Snakes and get a feel for what the game plays like.
In contrast to other survival games, the world is not generated procedurally. Instead, generate it yourself by placing isometric tile world pieces! Start your journey in the small lumberjack settlement of Hunter's Rest and begin crafting the world around you!
Determine the landscape of this world inspired by the Wild West and dictate how it will unfold before you. You have the power to decide what’s next.
To help the people of Hunter's Rest, you can craft necessary tools from newly discovered resources. Advance in leather working, cloth weaving, and more professions to create the best survival supplies for your adventure!
Invest your resources into your very own cabin and establish a base for defense and shelter.
