Overview

About this game

Welcome to the Arctic

You're an engineer and polar explorer who finds yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time: somewhere in the far north, on the border between Norway and Russia.

A nuclear explosion occurs. By sheer luck, your location in the Arctic zone spares you from the direct blast. But the aftermath is haunting—you've lost all contact with the outside world, and inexplicably, there's no one else around.

Now it's just you, your skis, the melting glaciers, a boat, and a mystery you must unravel.
