Steam Store description

The «Vostok» scientific complex in Antarctica goes silent after discovering an anomalous structure in the ice—a mass of black ice containing a substance of extraterrestrial origin. At first, the discovery was considered a scientific breakthrough, but very soon the excitement turned to panic and fear. Polar explorer Oleg is an experienced explorer of the Antarctic wilderness. He responded to an SOS signal to investigate the situation. He has years of expeditions, deadly routes and encounters with the cold that breaks not only the body but also the will. This brave polar explorer, who set out to face the storm, doesn't yet know what awaits him… Alexey is a special agent for the large corporation "Novy Svet," who arrived to document the virus leak and fully neutralize its consequences. Behind his calm exterior lies a man who has seen too much to believe in happy endings. His mission: gather evidence, clean up anything that could pose a threat, and prevent the nightmare from spreading beyond the station. What awaits you: Two playable characters, each with their own story. But sooner or later, these stories will intertwine. An atmosphere where you're constantly vulnerable. Limited inventory. Choose wisely what you bring. Varied and challenging puzzles. Diverse enemies with their own unique characteristics. "The cold is not scary when the heart is warm."
