Arctic Eggs | This sci-fi egg frying simulator will release soon

The indie game Arctic Eggs, which first released on the independent game platform itch.io, has recently been added to Steam and will be launching a full version.

Arctic Eggs was originally a game jam entry on itch.io. According to the creator, it is "a sci-fi cooking game where you take up the role of a Poultry Peddler stuck in Antarctica and longing for a way out. Sell your illegal eggs to those who look hungry." The game adopts a retro visual style reminiscent of old-fashioned television sets, presenting what appears to be serious, documentary-style footage, when in fact, we are engaged in the illicit dealings of trading fried eggs.

Although we can't quite understand why eggs have become contraband, to successfully fry them in Antarctica, you'll need various seasonings and side dishes. The game's physics engine is particularly impressive: Eggs and bacon tumble around in the pan, and sausages stand up and dance in it. Even the bugs have a certain flair — under certain conditions, the game may trigger an infinite egg-frying bug, where eggs appear out of nowhere in the pan even when the player does nothing. The developer has stated they will work hard to fix this issue before the official release.

But if you think about it, it's quite amusing: eggs have become the new contraband, and you have a pan that can fry an endless amount of them... Financial freedom seems to be just around the corner.
