Mountain Shadow Early access
We're still finishing this game, but you can already play it!
Lead a settler family into the mountains in 1856 and build a home under Marsfjället.
It is spring 1856. Your family walks for five days into the mountains to start a new life by a lake under Marsfjället. Pick who does which job, then press Go and watch everyone work. Build a cabin and a barn, catch fish, make hay and fill the piles for winter.
In the dark time, the mountain hides the sun for weeks. Can you get everyone through to the day the first sunbeam comes back? Then it is time for the sun festival! Make friends with the Sámi family up on the fell, and collect the stories of your year in your Story Book. Every game tells a different story.
Nobody gets hurt, and every line can be read aloud. No ads and nothing to buy. Play with a keyboard, a mouse, a controller or touch.
