About the Game

Thaw lost treasures out of giant blocks of ice, grow a cold little shed into a warm, humming workshop, and one day open the big door on the great mammoth sleeping in the glacier. A cozy first-person game with no timers, no danger and no way to fail.

Every block hides something

Blocks of ice ride in on your conveyor belt, and every one of them holds a find: a cassette player, a brass diving helmet, a snow globe, a whole celebration cake. Clamp the block on your warm bench, open it up and watch the find pop free with its price tag.

Chip, melt and laser

Chip away with the pickaxe, soften the ice with the heat gun and later slice whole slabs off with the laser cutter. Every tool has its own feel and every block opens a little differently. Work gently near the find to free it Flawless and earn its gold star.

Sell it or keep it

Every find has a price. Drop it in the sell box for credits, or keep it for your collection: around 120 finds in 12 sets, from everyday trinkets to legendary treasures, and every finished set gives a lasting bonus.

Watch your workshop grow

Every card you buy on the upgrade board warms, fills and lights the room: a wider and faster belt, a crane that lifts blocks to the bench, a thermal lens, the laser cutter and an auto sell box, plus rugs, lanterns, armchairs and plants. Your cold shed turns into a cozy treasure factory, one card at a time.

Meet Kartopu

One crate holds a surprise: a fluffy white cat, frozen fast asleep. Thaw Kartopu out and you have a workshop friend for good. Kartopu follows you around, rides the blocks on the belt, naps by the stove, loves a good pet and brings you luck with the Lucky Paw. Finish sets to earn collars and beds.

Open the big door

Behind the workshop's big door lies the glacier, and deep inside the ice sleeps a woolly mammoth. Five dig areas wait out on the glacier shelf, each with its own kind of ice and twenty finds of its own, and every gate shows the mammoth a little clearer. Free it in about four to five hours for a real ending.

Friends from the ice

Not everything frozen in the glacier is treasure. Free a little penguin and a baby mammoth and they lend a hand around the bench, clamping and warming blocks for you, while the big reveal always stays yours.

Play at your own pace

No timers, no danger, no pressure. After the credits the workshop keeps going: chase a Flawless star on every find and the rare aurora versions, or start a New Season for a lasting bonus on every sale while your room keeps its look.
