About the Game

The setting is the distant future: the 2900's.

Earth has been transformed into a desolate planet, having lost its former prosperity due to the spread of a deadly virus, severe food shortages, extreme weather, and endless wars that have decimated the population and destroyed settlements.

Amidst this catastrophic situation, a mysterious signal suddenly begins broadcasting from Antarctica to countries around the world.


It was a faint glimmer of hope, hinting at the existence of abundant resources.


Humanity entrusts its last hope to a single child, sending them to the South Pole, where extreme environmental pollution has advanced.

Survival Crafting Against the Harsh Forces of Nature

Antarctica’s environment changes by the minute, with raging blizzards and extreme cold relentlessly draining your strength.


Rely on weather forecasts, gather resources along the way, and craft the items you need while optimizing your gear within a limited inventory.
