For the first time, we are publicly presenting a ten-minute gameplay video, giving you a glimpse into the daily life of an Alpine shelter manager from the 1960s. It is now available on our Steam page.[/p]

• [p]Running the Shelter: You were able to step into the host's shoes, arranging interiors with stylish furniture from Heywood Wakefield and Fjordfiesta to create a cozy haven for hikers. Satisfied guests are the key to success! [/p]
• [p]High-Altitude Logistics: We proved that the gameplay doesn't end with warm corners. A specially designed quest system allowed you to organize and transport supplies and mark out your own mountain trails. [/p]
• [p]Legends of Mountaineering: Our game draws inspiration from the history of mountaineering. At the shelter, you will meet characters modeled after real mountain icons, including the Polish traveler Marek Kamiński and the legendary Himalayan climber Ed Viesturs![/p]
