About the Game

WELCOME, VOLUNTEER

Welcome to Frost-Falls - a city where crimes don’t cool down, even beneath eternal snow. 

You are private detective Alex Mason, arriving in Frost-Falls to volunteer for the international agency I.O.S.C.P, which investigates digital crimes through the screens of compromised devices.

SHADOW OF THE PAST

Every case tells its own story.
Every suspect is a shadow from the past.
And somewhere in all that digital noise lies the faint trace of Alex’s missing family...

KEEPING ORDER

Examine clues on devices, solve puzzles, reconstruct timelines - and move closer to the truth, and to your own hidden story.

Assist the police in unraveling crimes across the bleak, snow-covered streets of Frost-Falls.
