South of Clouds is the debut PC title from Simon Edmunds at Restless Systems – an independent games developer based at Tāhuna in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

In South of Clouds you experience life on a mountainous, deserted island somewhere deep in the Southern Ocean. Explore the island’s various locations, ranging from wild, windswept beaches, craggy forests, mountain streams and icy alpine lakes, to cloud-enshrouded, snow-covered peaks. Meditate on a rugged ridge, stargaze on a frosty night, while-away the hours next to a cozy fire you’ve built, or become entranced by the soothing ocean waves. Collect resources, build structures, set waypoints and set your avatar free for some chilled-out alpine escapism.

For those looking for more of a challenging survival experience,  turn up the realism difficulty on the fly to feel the full effects of a detailed seasonal weather system, extremes of temperature, limited resources and complex nutritional needs. Build your own player AI to test your ability to survive and thrive! Or after a long day, turn down the difficulty to enjoy a less hands-on, more peaceful experience, without ruining your saved games or having to start again.
