Smalland: Survive the Wilds

StreamerHouse brought 353 viewers in 2023 to Smalland: Survive the Wilds, the indie survival game where you're ant-sized in a big world. The house explored this Grounded-adjacent title during its early access launch, appreciating the Scandinavian setting and the unique perspective of treating beetles like boss fights. The streams mixed base building, creature taming, and the constant threat of being stepped on by things that would normally be harmless. While Grounded had Xbox backing and AAA polish, Smalland leaned into its indie roots with deeper RPG mechanics and a darker tone. The year was 2023, and StreamerHouse showed that the tiny-person survival genre had room for multiple games, each finding their own niche in the big world.
