[h2]REPORTS OF STRANGE SIGHTINGS IN ALASKA[/h2]
This just in - an anonymous informer has reported supernatural activity in Alaska. A large figure with mysterious glowing eyes has been spotted in the forests, fleeing when seen.

Our informer has placed several clues around the map that will point you the way - there's even talk of a reward for those who are first to find these proofs.

Take a look at these pictures - maybe you can locate where they were taken? Good luck!

More information, including how to take part in the hunt for proof of this creature, can be found over on our Discord.

Don't forget - you can grab a discount during the launch week for Alaskan Road Truckers, so if you haven't grabbed it - now's your chance!

[h2]What’s next?[/h2]
Launching Alaskan Road Truckers doesn’t mean we’re ending our work on the game. We know there’ll be bugs, issues, and stuff to fix - we’ll be continually patching the game over the coming days, weeks, and months to ensure the game experience is everything we intend it to be.

Now the game is out, there’s a few things you can do to help us make sure that Alaskan Road Truckers is a success.
[h3]Leave a Steam Review[/h3]

[h3]Report Bugs and Issues[/h3]
If you encounter any issues in the game, first please check our support FAQ document - this is a work in progress support article that we’ll be adding to, making sure you have the info you need in order to enjoy Alaska.

[h3]Spread the Word[/h3]
Tell a friend! Tell two friends! Hire a plane to do skywriting!

OK, maybe not that last one.

But word of mouth is the most important way to support Alaskan Road Truckers. If you have a friend who’d enjoy the game, let them know about it. If you have social media, why not do a post. We’re incredibly grateful to all the fans who’ve supported us so far - and we’re grateful for everyone who continues to support us.
[h3]Buy or Wishlist the Game![/h3]
Finally, buying the game helps us make sure we can continue to support it, adding content and fixing issues into the future. If you cannot do that now - or don’t want to - please add us to your Steam wishlist, it all helps.
