The Carrier and Crows

The Carrier and Crows is set on Hermit’s Thumb Peninsula, a remote stretch of northern British Columbia just below the snowline. You explore its mountains and six biomes, gathering, hunting, crafting and solving puzzles as you work your way toward civilization and uncover the mystery of the peninsula and its inhabitants.

Explore the peninsula

One large map spans environments from dense, crawling wetlands to snowy peaks. Each biome has its own objectives and mechanics, and you craft tools to progress farther into the mountains. Stealth lets you disengage from more dangerous inhabitants, while world puzzles devised by local eccentrics offer other challenges.

Meet the locals

Strange landmarks, raised by even stranger characters, are scattered across the peninsula. You find the locals’ stories throughout the map as you investigate the mystery surrounding Hermit’s Thumb and its inhabitants.

Manage time and health

Dynamic lighting and a day-and-night cycle shape your activities: hunt during the day and gather at night. Use your time wisely, or you may be left in the dark. There are no stamina or hunger bars; your health is your main resource. Gathering without the right tools drains it, and if it gets too low, you cannot gather, swim or survive. Forage for berries or hunt for meat to replenish your stores.

Carry your supplies

You start with plenty of inventory space, but items pile up. Avoid throwing anything away, as you may need it later.
