About This Demo

[h1]FREE DEMO - Days 1-3 of a 9-day Antarctic body-snatcher horror.[/h1]

Deep Frost is a Carpenter-flavored singleplayer social-deduction roguelike. Twelve named researchers are trapped at a failing Antarctic outpost; the Thaw - a parasitic intelligence - has begun copying the crew. Read suspects, plant clues, survive the blood test, and live to extraction.

This demo gives you the first three days of the rotation - enough to learn the deduction loop and feel the dread set in. Day 4 (the blood test) is where the full game begins.

What's in the demo

• Full Days 1-3 with all 12 procedurally generated researchers
  
• Anomaly modifiers (Frost Loop, Recorder Lies)
  
• Full social verb set: chat, ask, plant, accuse, defuse, bribe, specialty, study

Gnosia x The Thing (1982). ~45-minute runs in the full game. No multiplayer; the deduction lives in the NPCs.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some 2D images shipped in the game (story/cutscene illustrations, marketing materials) were generated using Google's Gemini image model and then hand-edited and composed by the developer. All in-game gameplay assets, UI, code, music, and procedurally-generated NPC content are original and human-authored. No live AI generation occurs at runtime.
