This is just the beginning, and while many features are still in the works, Polyaris' main goal is to gather users' feedback. Polyaris wants to hear everything, both the good and the bad, so they can make their game the best it can be!  

The Closed Alpha started Yesterday, and everyone can enroll in the Closed Alpha through Polyaris' official Discord.

The Closed Alpha is planned to run for atleast a week. Polyaris hopes to gather a lot of feedback and once they feel they have enough data, they'll close the demo.

Polyaris is now on Steam. 
 

What’s in the alpha

• Immersive first-person player controller
• Skiing mechanics (still a work in progress)
• Survival mechanics (cold weather, clothing, hunger and thirst, day/night cycle, and weather changes)
• Portable radio mechanic
• 4 onboarding quests to get you started
• A 2 square kilometer Arctic island as the starting area for the game’s story
• Melee and ranged weapons
• Enemies to challenge you
• Crafting and fishing systems
   

What’s NOT in the alpha

• Procedural infinite world (we’re working on it for the open demo later this year)
• Boat mechanics (The boat will be your "mobile base" which you can customize and use to traverse through an endless Arctic world, but it needs some work before it's functional. This too will come later in an open demo.
• Other enemy types and a more holistic story
• A lot more features that are still in the pipeline
• You might also run into some optimization issues
