A utility worker earns for a ticket to leave the endless Siberian city of panel houses. Permafrost, day/night cycle, dynamic weather and open world. Feel the atmosphere of the northern city, having been in the role of a handyman. Now with multiplayer!
As a utility worker in this Siberian panel house city, you'll earn money by completing a variety of maintenance and cleaning tasks. Shoveling snow is the core gameplay mechanic, and it's surprisingly satisfying. You can use different types of shovels to dig through snowdrifts blocking entryways, covering cars, and blanketing rooftops. The ability to sculpt the snow into creative formations adds an unexpected layer of depth to this repetitive, yet calming activity.
Beyond snow clearing, you'll explore the open-world environment to find useful items stashed in the basements of buildings. These discoveries, ranging from light bulbs to shovels, encourage thorough investigation of your surroundings. The game also features a cinematic mode that allows you to pause the action and adjust the camera to capture the harsh, atmospheric visuals of the Siberian cityscape. You can then sell in-game photographs for extra currency.
Many players highlight the overall meditative nature of the experience. The mundane tasks of shoveling snow, changing light bulbs, and collecting trash provide a therapeutic gameplay loop, well-suited for those seeking a more contemplative, low-stakes simulation. The procedurally-generated panel houses, dynamic weather, and day/night cycle immerse you in the bleak, melancholic mood of life in this Siberian urban landscape.
