A bleak, slow-burn journey through a frozen wasteland where careful exploration and tense firefights punctuate a weighty, choice-driven story.

What players say
Players describe it as an ambitious but unfinished game, like a proof of concept rather than a full release. Many note the mismatch between forced survival mechanics and a linear, corridor-like shooter that takes around 3-7 hours. Some praise it for a creative, old-school sci-fi feel when bought on deep sale, while others call it a cheap money grab from the Viking Conquest developers.
