Living up to it's "surreal" tag, Arctic Eggs does just that when it transports you to this vibrant & solemn remote community in the Antarctic. Under the shadow of the Saint of Six Stomachs looming above, you cast off with your iron pan, magic joint and a dream to bring cathartic relief to the denizens here.

Shuffling from area to area, completing odd requests gives the chance to meet even more colorful characters. Indulge in provoking and at times, nonsensical dialogue from smokers, shop owners, club-goers, and aquatic animals. You'll always be surprised at the next encounter, and always leave with something new to think about. At times you'll have to decide if you're the one going crazy or if everyone else has collectively gone insane.

The gameplay is pretty simple to pick up on, flipping around eggs in a pan in a cool physics simulation; but as you continue on your journey of satisfying appetites, you'll have to adapt your poultry peddling techniques to new and challenging ingredients. It does get progressively harder, and with three difficulty options for the masochist in you, you'll definitely end up ragequitting and coming back to it the next day.

The graphics are very homey if I had to say, retro-like, adding to the world with its retro feel as you bask in the ambiance in a freezing dystopia huddled with your patrons. Play it during winter for the true immersive experience! The soundtrack is a bit somber, kinda like Cowboy Bebop in a way, and it adds to the world-building; makes me feel like a little bastion of warmth among the cold, a little glimmer of peace for everyone you serve.

The game is kinda short, a while longer if you're a completionist, but like most people who've played agree, it's a fun and bizarre ride. It's worth the purchase, even more so on sale; and it plays great on Steam Deck as it's very well optimized, perfect for playing under the covers during a cold night. You will get pulled inside and come out a little different which is why I can say; Water Museum has truly made a game for the schizo inside of all of us, and I'm all for it.
