C'est dans ce monde inhospitalier et cruel qu'il doit combattre pour sa survie... et apprendre à son fils à en faire de même.

« It’s half parenting simulator, half god-slaying road trip. You throw an axe, it comes back. You yell “Boy,” he talks back. Gorgeous world, brutal combat, surprisingly emotional story. Best father-son therapy session ever. »
