Chilly DevLogs from Alaska ! #72 - Totems, Curses, and Easter Eggs

Hello, explorers and adventurers!

We’re back with another behind-the-scenes look at the world of Alaska Gold Fever. In this devlog, we’re diving into a few mysterious elements you may have already encountered in our playable demo. And we are teasing what’s to come.


Curses are not real... right?
This artifact is tied to one of the central narrative arcs involving the Inuit communities that inhabit the region. The totem is a quest item, crucial for progressing a specific storyline that explores folklore, forgotten pacts, and spiritual unrest.



Just holding it in inventory it grants the player a powerful buff but... Those who hold the totem may begin to notice strange anomalies. Are you sure you don't wanna return it to rightful owners as fast as you can?



Some eagle-eyed players have already found the necklace with an old photograph in our demo - we quietly placed it as an easter egg. What you may not realize yet is that this necklace holds significant narrative weight in the full game!


We’re excited to expand this thread in the next chapter of development. If you’ve found the necklace already… you’re ahead of the game ;)





Some of you discovered a small set of stacked stones near the river, strangely reminiscent of something...

If you thought of Lucky Luke, you’re absolutely right ! It’s our subtle homage to the old Western spirit !
They have no purpose for now... but what you think about adding one? An obtainable item that boosts your gold discovery rate by 0.0001 % ? ;)



That’s all for now!

Thanks for playing and for all the feedback so far - we’ll see you in the next devlog!
