Venture Arctic is an ecosystem simulator with a twist: the player is rewarded for both life and death. For every animal that passes on, the player collects a “spirit”, which they can then use to bring change to the environment. Players might spend this spirit to create winds, blowing the smells of a beached whale to a starving wolverine, or they might blanket the tundra in snow and ice to weed out the weak musk ox from the strong.
While the controls are simple, the systems are complex: players must understand the mating behaviors of the caribou, the feeding patterns of Arctic cod, and the social structures of Arctic wolves in order to succeed. Most of all, players will learn that an ecosystem’s survival depends upon seasons of plenty and of hardship, of life and of death.

fun, always wanted a game like this.
DISCLAIMER: This is a first impressions review, and NOT a full review
Venture Arctic is a game developed and published by Pocketwatch Games
The game offers some really nice graphics and a nice yet simplistic aesthetic which is pleasant all the same and has some amazing attention to detail even though it is a little rough around the edges
The game does suffer with some repetitiveness at certain areas of the game but a fun game nonetheless and ends just at the right time
Venture Arctic overall, however, is an okay game to play, yet sometimes repetitive and it does get boring if being played for a long time, but is an okay simulation sandbox game to play in short bursts!
RECOMMENDED :)

I played this back in 2007 when it came out after my cousin told me about it. It was the best thing I'd ever played back then. I actually paid $25 bucks for it when they were selling on their website. I probably put in at least a thousand hours over the next 4-5 years and then, life happened, I got older, got a new PC and really just forgot about it for 10 or so years. Until I went back on my old PC and saw it still sitting there. I did a quick google search and yeah...
You can imagine my surprise when I saw it on Steam...
I had to get it.
And it's only $3 now?!?!
In summary, you can't really experience what I experienced with this game in today's modern gaming era, I can't even experience it myself again. I wish I could though, all those years ago, playing this for the first time. It really was and still is just an awesome game through and through. And an added bonus, it taught me a hell of a lot about the ecosystem.
To the guys who made this, I owe a substantial amount of my childhood to you. Thanks for making such a great little game.
It's not the greatest in terms of graphics but back then this was amazing, I 100% recommend everyone to play this, you'll enjoy it. Trust me.
I used to love this game but this downloaded crap keeps crashing before you can get past the tutorial!
It's a shame playing this game after Venture Africa. The new game mechanic feels extremely overwhelming and frustrating to me. Feels like the devs wanted to add too many new features but it turned out to be a huge mess instead.
I was super excited to find this game because Venture Africa was one of my fave games growing up, and I didn't even know this one existed. Unfortunately, everytime I get to the part where the raven tells me to look around using the mouse or arrow keys, the game crashes and the wondow closes. It's a shame because what I've seen of the game is really good, but I don't know if I'll ever get to play....
