Arctic Eggs
Eggs: perfection in two parts. The simple whites. The sublime yolk. Each the lesser without its partner. Chorus and verse. A symphony of flavor. The catchy tune reminding us of warm baths and late-night movies. The elevator music to whatever lies beyond.

— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“I love it. Gameplay is cool, the atmosphere is cool, the sound of sizzling is cool (but hot). One of those games that makes you wonder wtf is going on while it takes you on a ride which is enjoyable throughout.”
