About Above Snakes

Above Snakes is an isometric Wild West‑inspired adventure RPG that blends world‑building with mild survival. Players assemble biomes from over 100 unique pieces, gather resources, and craft tools for hunting, fishing, farming, and combat against Lost Souls.

A modular building system, long‑term progression, and a lightweight story about a young woman in conflict are supported by extensive accessibility options and full controller compatibility.

01 / THE GUIDE

World Building

The game provides a modular system of more than 100 distinct world pieces, each belonging to a specific biome. By placing these pieces you create an outpost that reflects the materials and visual style of the chosen biomes.

Personal touches such as handcrafted furniture, gardens, and a porch can be added, allowing players to shape both functional and aesthetic aspects of their base while exploring the surrounding environment.

  • Combine biomes that share complementary resources to broaden material variety.
  • Position workstations close to the raw materials they process for smoother crafting.

02 / THE GUIDE

Crafting & Survival

Resources gathered from biomes can be turned into workbenches, sawmills, furnaces, and anvils. These stations enable the creation of weapons, tools, and cooking items needed for hunting, fishing, and defending against Lost Souls.

Advancing crafting skills unlocks more sophisticated gear, which in turn supports deeper exploration and tougher encounters within the world.

  • Prioritize building a furnace early to expand metalworking options.
  • Maintain a balance between hunting and farming to keep food supplies steady.

Farming

Seeds collected from wild herbs and vegetables let you establish crop farms. Regular watering and the use of fertilizer increase growth speed, turning farms into reliable sources of food and crafting materials.

Managing a farm requires monitoring water levels and applying fertilizer strategically, which supports both survival needs and the production of items for crafting.

  • Apply fertilizer to high‑yield crops for faster harvest cycles.
  • Schedule watering sessions to avoid growth delays.

04 / THE GUIDE

Exploration & Quests

Players can roam varied biomes at their own pace, completing optional quests that reveal the land’s secrets and the story of the young woman caught in conflict.

Quest completion encourages exploration while allowing players to focus on building or combat as they prefer.

  • Map biome borders to locate rare resources quickly.
  • Choose quests you want to explore while following the land’s story.

05 / THE GUIDE

Accessibility & Controls

Above Snakes offers full controller support along with options to disable camera shake, smooth camera movements, and a photosensitive mode. Custom volume controls let players adjust SFX, music, eating noises, and footsteps individually.

These settings are designed to accommodate a wide range of comfort preferences, ensuring the experience remains approachable for many players.

  • Turn off camera shake if rapid motion feels uncomfortable.
  • Fine‑tune individual volume sliders to match your auditory comfort.
