Roadmap reveals plans for post-launch content
Los Angeles, CA – May 12, 2026 – Building on its recent Steam launch, Above the Desk is wasting no time expanding its mountain survival experience Above the Snow, revealing a packed post-launch roadmap featuring Endless Mode upgrades, deep automation systems, major quality-of-life improvements, and an upcoming DLC.
Already holding a “Mostly Positive” rating on Steam, the narrative management sim continues to gain momentum as players push deeper into its harsh expedition systems and evolving trail-management gameplay.
The roadmap begins this month with Version 1.1, introducing a redesigned Paths Building Mode, key balance adjustments, UI improvements, trail save/rename functionality, and a brand-new post-story Endless Mode designed to push survival strategies far beyond the campaign.
June’s Version 1.2 update expands the experience further with Photo Mode, improved trail maps, additional buildable structures, and faster, more intuitive route selection tools.
In July, Version 1.3 will deliver one of the game’s most significant system upgrades yet: a scheduler-based automation system, allowing players to assign and optimize crew tasks across their entire survival operation. The update also adds new Endless Mode events, expanded crew selection systems, further balancing, and additional building content.
Looking ahead, the roadmap also confirms a Version 1.4 DLC, currently in development, signaling even more content beyond the core updates.
Blending survival strategy, expedition logistics, and infrastructure management, Above the Snow challenges players to expand fragile mountain routes while balancing limited resources, crew efficiency, and the ever-present danger of the wilderness.
Above the Snow is also available in a Steam bundle with The Alpine Edition, Tiny Bookshop, Farmers Dynasty 2, and Sengoku Dynasty.
