Overview

You are the lone survivor of a doomed expedition into the Northwest Passage. With your supplies exhausted, you take up your lantern and venture into the wilderness. But as the night closes in, so do the nightmare creatures who stalk the shadows.

Trapped in an endless loop, you must repel increasingly deadly waves of disturbing abominations while searching for a way out. Utilize a variety of weapons to defeat foes and collect experience to unlock upgrades and uncover forbidden knowledge. Explore your surroundings, search for items, and light bonfires to stave off the cold and increase your chances of survival. Should you perish, chart a course through strange constellations and exchange the grisly currency you have collected to gain permanent bonuses that will aid you in future runs.

Can you summon the courage to conquer the darkness and escape your frozen purgatory? Or will you fall prey to the foul forces that threaten to consume your very humanity?
