About the Game

The most unforgiving place on Earth and the epicenter of the cold war. The US and USSR have spent ten years searching for a weapon to change the global tide. Buried by an ancient civilization, discovered by the Germans towards the end of the second world war, and now rediscovered, it allows one to traverse space. The only issue is everyone sent in does not come back. Or so we thought. 

They should never have activated it. It was buried for a reason. Now, a great terror has been woken to put an end to man. The Cold War ends on the frozen continent but a new war for humanities survival takes its place. The terror unleashed knows no bounds and will seek you out. 

Use your radio and compass to find your way through the blizzards and fog of the great plains, run through the Corinthia trenches with guns, clear tight frozen ships from evil with your knife, and be the one who unlocks the secrets long buried here.  Survival on a frozen dessert cut off from the rest of the world is near impossible but you must endure and outlast the evil.
