Taking place in a mythical Nordic setting, Fresh Tracks invites players to strap on their skis for a non-stop music-driven adventure.

As the protagonist, Skaii, players begin their journey gliding through a beautiful snow-covered forest to the beat of an ethereal pop soundtrack, an Aurora shimmering overhead. Soon, however, the path diverges, and players must fight, jump, and dodge increasing obstacles and menacing minions as they delve deeper into the darkness that has befallen the land of Norwyn.

As Skaii conquers each new trail, players unlock new abilities, new divine companions, and 19+ tracks of irresistible original music.

The studio is committed to pushing creative boundaries, crafting games that challenge conventions, and embracing new technologies to deliver immersive experiences.
