Cargo - a trading-survival sim
A downloadable game
CARGO — A survival-trading game in the Arctic
Cargo is a single-player survival and trading game inspired by 19th-century Arctic expeditions, where isolation, scarcity, and moral choice define every voyage.
Trade in a living economy: Buy and sell supplies & transport them through storms and currents aboard your ship. Make smart choices, negotiate prices and survive on the profit you make.
Shape your reputation: Will you be a compassionate altruist, a pragmatic merchant, or a ruthless profiteer? Your actions decide who trusts you—and who turns you away.
Upgrade your ship and uncover the truth: Expand your vessel to reach distant settlements. Follow the trail of your missing brother, who vanished while searching for a mysterious substance called Living Ice.
Cargo mixes survival and trading and features resource management, exploration, and tough moral decision-making.
