After a tense night hunting wolves in the pitch dark forests of Icarus, a friend and I trek back to our small but sturdy wooden cabin. The dull orange glow of our campfire in the distance is our target, growing steadily larger as we get closer. It grows too large. That’s not a campfire. “Is that our home base?” my friend asks. “Our home base is on fire!” We sprint there, finding our third friend casually chopping trees not even 50 feet away, totally unaware of the conflagration behind him. We do our best to smack the flames off the walls with the fire whackers we’d crafted. In the end, it’s too late. Flames spread to every one of the walls we’ve built, and our wooden base burns to the ground. Again.
My favourite part of exploring a new survival game is finding out just how reactive its world is. Icarus has dangerous wildlife, the constant threat of starvation, oxygen deprivation, and more, but what brings me the most joy is the ever present threat of accidental arson.
