How it feels
A tense, first-person Metroidvania where you craft living weapons and navigate a hostile, alien-infested Antarctic lab with escalating combat and a mysterious guide.

What players say
Players praise the unique weapons and exploration of an arctic base, comparing it to a simpler Half-Life in VR. But a save corruption bug goes unfixed since mid-2024, and others note slow saving and broken Index controller bindings, making many warn the game feels abandoned.
