How it feels

A bleak, dialogue-driven mystery where two prisoners slowly reveal their secrets in a frozen, post-apocalyptic world.

What players say

Players praise the story as mature and well-written with relatable characters and believable world, but split sharply on the gameplay: some say puzzles are logical while others call them so frustrating they never want to replay. The game runs fine on modern systems and is short, with multiple endings that hinge on late-game choices.
