"Can you fry eggs ontop of Mount Everest?"
idk, probably after some of the shit I pulled off in this game.

The vibes are immaculate and the at first simple cooking mechanic, has enough twists to keep it both engaging and super annoying (fun way... but also holy shit the prison area).

Great way to spent ~2hrs. I can't think of a better non-spoiler way to describe the game than the current "most helpful" Steam review:

"Cooking Mama for chain smokers"

If that peaks your interest, highly recommend!

Surprisingly more fun than I thought it would be. All based off a simple question.

Can you fry eggs ontop of Mount Everest?

I am still not sure, but what I am sure about is that Arctic Eggs is a fantastic experience. The style is immaculate, the music is chill, and the atmosphere is surreal.

The gameplay itself is split into two parts: Walking around talking to people, who say random one liners similarly to games like Sludge Life, you'll either find it hilarious or cringe depending on who you are, the second part is cooking (mostly) eggs. Both sides, as always.

Despite the simple idea, the game is great at throwing fun and unique obstacles your way, such as adding still alive fish to your pan, or having you dodge bullets (don't worry about it). Both of these gameplay segments make for a super fun and enjoyable experience that also doesn't overstay its welcome (3-4 hours average playtime). I would recommend this to everyone looking for something out of the ordinary that's also fun.


cerveza frita, hielo frito, balas fritas... la cocina fusión estadounidense se está yendo de madre

Trabajo de traductor y estas cosas me sacan mucho de la experiencia, la traducción al español es terrible, llena de errores gramaticales y erratas. El juego en inglés tampoco se libra porque la puntuación da pena y hay una frase que dice FORTNITE en vez de fortnight. De verdad que me ha jodido el juego.


this game is what my depression meals look like

This is the best cooking game since Steven's Sausage Roll.

Seriously though, Arctic Eggs is great. The cooking gameplay is incredibly intuitive, but tricky to master. It's simply incredibly satisfying.

Arctic Eggs does a great job with its writing. Each person is a vignette, a small snapshot into this strange world. Some horrify, some make me laugh, but everyone has a place. The game hints at broader implications without spelling out all of the details, and the end result is an excellent bit of science fiction.

Fry some eggs.

Everyone keeps a jar of honey in the bathroom

Cool little indie game
Good atmosphere, style, and soundtrack. I like how far it pushed its one mechanic. Borders on getting a bit too frustrating for me at times, but as soon as I felt like I was hitting my limit the game would move on to another mechanic.
Surprisingly fun and rewarding to successfully flip the eggs around, felt good to get better at it.
My only gripe is that some of the dialogue feels a bit "lol so random". But other than that, there's some cool stuff in there.
Worth checking out!

Succulent eggs for you.

I hate puffer fish and roaches

I wasn't sure if I was going to rate this game 5 stars at first, but after sitting and thinking about it I really see no reason not to. I love the atmosphere, the music, the game play, there's not a single negative thing I have to say about the game. Near the beginning, around the 20 minute mark, I had decided "Man I really suck at this game. I probably won't make it to the end." At the time, the controls felt unreliable and I felt like I had no control on what I was doing with the pan. The first area I visited was the dock section, where you cook a lot of fish. That section really put me through the wringer, especially those damn puffer fish. However, I came out the other side of it with a really good understanding of how to work the pan and after that I rarely struggled with any of the rest of the games challenges. So much so that I even switched to the hard mode pan for a few cooks. I was learning techniques like how to reliably flip certain items, bounce bullets in the air before they explode, I even balanced two beer bottles on top of each other AND flipped an egg at the same time. The game had given me something that I was struggling and frustrated with and forced me to get better at it, and get better at it I did! Arctic Eggs gave me the same satisfactory of mastering a new skill all in the span of 2 hours, and I think that counts for something.

Oh yeah the game's also just really fun idk

insanely great world-building, and a surprisingly varied amount of gameplay with such a simple concept. I loved everything about this, every little dialogue, every single bit is so charming and fun,.

Arctic Eggs is a bitingly eco-conscious sci-fi short story.
It is a hilarious though terminally Online comedy.
It is a deliciously Foddy-esque series of gameplay vignettes.
It is frying an egg on mount everest.

don't get me wrong: i understand why everyone praises the atmosphere of this game, but i want to point out the gameplay as well being really unique! every puzzle had a different feel to it, something new. it keeps you on your toes right until the end.

that said, i didn't go into this expecting a story-heavy experience, but it delivered on that front wonderfully. the off-beat, almost space funeral-esque dialogue juxtaposes well with the moments of real thought-provoking conversation. it paints a picture of the future that isn't devoid of hope, just one that has a huge amount of systemic work to be done. despite everything, their failing bodies being replaced with metal parts, the nagging sense that there's more for them in the world, they still have their dreams to hold onto. and walking around, feeding them, you can feel it affecting the world. i was surprised to find people appreciating the cooking work being done: the player character is shown to have considerable skill with a pan. i guess it's all they can really do. but it's nice to see it appreciated.

really cool time! i spent way longer on it than i should have (i am bad at video games) but it would have been a good value either way.

Very weird game, and oddly addicting too. Very chill music... Who knew a game about slinging fried eggs as a Poultry Peddler in Antarctica would make me ponder a Ship of Theseus-esque paradox by a half-cyborg man that just wants to taste eggs before he loses his tongue.
