Explovival – not just another survival

Paws & Circuits is a cozy eco-survival game about a wounded raccoon, his drone buddy, and a trash-covered 4×4 km island. Clean up human leftovers, recycle resources, and gather seasonal plants to survive changing weather and four distinct seasons – without loot grind or stress survival.

Live with the seasons, not against them.

Food doesn’t just respawn – it follows the year:

• Strawberries start as blossoms in spring and only turn into juicy fruit in summer.

• Carrots grow through summer and can be pulled from the ground in autumn and early winter.

• Other plants, mushrooms, herbs and berries have their own short seasons – miss the window, miss the meal.

Play by senses, not by bars

You don’t stare at HUD bars – you play by what you see and hear:

• Your stomach growls when you’re hungry.

• Your movement gets heavy when you’re injured.

• You slow down and start looking for water when you’re thirsty.

When you need exact numbers, you call your drone. It brings up a HUD on demand – when you’re done, the UI fades and the world fills the screen again.

Core Features

• New sub-genre “Explovival” – focused, cozy survival without loot and dopamine spam.

• Buddy drone with a smart task system: scan, mark, clean up, and carry trash.

• Cleaning trash = visible island progress – the more you recycle, the more the island changes.

• Weather, time of day, and four seasons with seasonal plants and food.

• Hand-crafted 4×4 km island: beach, forest, volcano, dynamic weather.

• Minimalist UI – HUD only appears when you call your drone.

• Optional hardcore mode (1 in-game day ≈ 24 minutes, permadeath, gravestone save, later leaderboard).

• Singleplayer first; co-op planned depending on community feedback.

• Early-supporter bonus: playable red panda variant.

AI 생성 콘텐츠 사용 공개

개발사는 게임에서 AI 생성 콘텐츠를 사용하는 방법을 다음과 같이 설명합니다.

AI usage (development & marketing only).
Paws & Circuits: Reboot Earth does not generate content live in-game and does not accept user prompts or inputs. During development, generative AI was used as a supportive tool (e.g., for concept iteration, text drafts, a few placeholder voice lines, and select marketing assets and occasional placeholder textures). All outputs were manually reviewed, edited, and curated. The shipped content is static, non-interactive, and contains no live AI and no user-generated content.
If any assets are flagged via Steam’s reporting tools, they will be removed or replaced promptly. Over time, placeholders will be gradually replaced with hand-crafted assets.

Content notice: Themes of environmental pollution/cleanup and survival (possible death by cold/starvation). No combat, no graphic violence.
