The signal should have been impossible. Yet, something answered.
An isolated research station in Antarctica has gone silent after a mysterious experiment involving an extraordinary energy source. Cut off from the outside world, surrounded by endless ice, your crew must struggle to survive while reality itself begins to unravel.
In Southern Lights, every turn forces difficult decisions. Repair critical systems or continue vital research? Save exhausted crew members or push them beyond their limits? Protect the station - or sacrifice parts of it to survive another day.
As supplies dwindle and the unknown grows stronger, the line between scientific discovery and unimaginable horror begins to disappear.
Every Choice Has Consequences
Manage a team of specialists, each with unique strengths and weaknesses. Their physical health is only part of the battle - their sanity may prove even more fragile. Customize their perks to build the team that best suits your playstyle.
Protect the Station
Allocate limited resources, repair damaged facilities, and maintain life-support systems while responding to unpredictable emergencies. Every neglected problem can trigger new crises.
Research the Impossible
Advance your understanding of the mysterious phenomenon threatening the base. Every breakthrough brings you one step closer to uncovering the truth.
Fight Against Time
Rescue is uncertain. The environment is hostile. Your crew is exhausted.
Every turn pushes the station closer to collapse.
Will your decisions save humanity... or open the door to something else?
