About the Game

After crashing onto a cold, icy, planet and finding a strange crystal that grants you the ability to flip your own gravity, you must escape an icy prison in order to make your way back to home and safety.

Polar Shift is a puzzle-based game where you must decode a foreign language, escape from a violent alien, and help allies with their requests, all while exploring a unique and daunting prison. Explore the gym, cafeteria, and even the notorious "pit" as you adventure inside the gated jail, all while formulating a plan to escape.
