About the Prologue
In Above Snakes: Prologue you play the beginning of Above Snakes and get a feel for what the game plays like.

Create and Survive
Determine the landscape of this world inspired by the Wild West and dictate how it will unfold before you. You have the power to decide what’s next.
Craft, Cook, Hunt, and Fish
To help the people of Hunter's Rest, you can craft necessary tools from newly discovered resources. Advance in leather working, cloth weaving, and more professions to create the best survival supplies for your adventure!
Base Building
Invest your resources into your very own cabin and establish a base for defense and shelter.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43241795/1bc8df0ccfaad0fb8460c84e7086e6cf383a06b5.png Howdy Adventurers! First of all, we want to say a big thank you to all of you who played Above Snakes: Prologue! The game has been downloaded more than 400.000 times. This number is just insane to us and we can not be grateful enough! We also received a lot of feedback from you and are happy to say that we worked on most of it. These updates will be included in this patch and also in the full game that comes out on May 25th.

You can level your stamina with a skill to sprint for longer. Added Playstation 5 Dualsense Controller support. Changed Mechanics Changed that axe and pickaxe are created from twigs and logs. You now need flints and hard antler (alongside other resources) to create your first tools (so we did some changes to the Jo Ann quest line). This should give a more realistic feeling of survival. Lake water spots can not "dry out". Instead, they provide Dirty Water. Scooping water will increase fatigue. Dirty Water can be boiled to Clean Water at campfires. Campfires created by NPCs now provide warmth. Healthy Buff (all needs above 50%) regenerates health instead of providing additional movement speed. When removing the cottage, the sawmill and Jo Ann's house, you will receive some resources (as stated by Jo Ann). Destroying structures with the hammer returns (s...Read full article on Community Announcements (Square Glade Games)AnnouncementsOfficial
