About This Game

Welcome to the Arctic

You are a polar explorer and engineer who found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, somewhere in the far north, along the border between Norway and Russia.

A nuclear bomb detonates, but being in the Arctic at the time, you are spared the direct impact.

Your plane crashes, but by some twist of fate, you survive. All contact with the outside world is lost, and the people who once lived nearby have mysteriously vanished.

Now all you have is a radio, melting glaciers, and a mystery waiting to be uncovered.

Game Features:

  • Two game modes: Endless Survival and Story Mode.

  • Unique skiing system for traversing the Arctic wilderness.

  • Comprehensive winter survival mechanics: manage your body temperature, choose the right clothing, keep track of hunger and thirst, use fire to stay warm, cook food, and adapt to changing weather and day-night cycles.

  • Fishing.

  • Boat navigation to explore frozen waterways.

  • Simple crafting: build campfires, tents, and other essential survival items.

  • Various threats: polar bears, wolves, and hostile scavengers.

  • Four difficulty levels inspired by Arctic cycles (Polar Day and Polar Night), plus a fully customizable difficulty mode.

Uncover What Happened and Find Your Way Out of the Arctic

As you explore the world, you'll discover clues and witness strange events that are far from random.

Piece together the story and uncover the truth behind what happened before and after the mysterious explosion.
