Indie game developer Fairview Games and publisher Sightline Games have confirmed that The Gold River Project will be coming to Early Access on Steam.

The Gold River Project

What begins as a relaxing camping trip quickly devolves into a nightmarish race against time as players discover they are trapped inside a massive, isolated nature reserve divided by imposing and unexplained walls. Playing either solo or in 4-player online co-op, unwitting campers must push through shifting seasonal environments, maintain essential survival needs, uncover the truth of who is watching them from afar, and find a way out before the wilderness consumes them.

Kayak across lakes, hike remote trails, and set up camp wherever you choose. Survival will require learning how to live off the land, wherein every tool and scavenged item matters. Pitch tents, establish and expand base camps, cook meals, purify water, and carefully scavenge, craft, and trade resources as you brave the elements. Pay attention to your health, hunger, fatigue, and temperature, and earn badges as you master new skills needed to endure the wild.

Each season will bring an entirely new set of challenges to endure, so adapting to the conditions is key. Offering endless replayability, The Gold River Project ensures that each playthrough is unique, with ever-changing substations, supplies, points of interest, and pathways to discover. Combining cooperative survival, dynamic environments, and a steadily unfolding mystery.
