Five years ago, HMS Viscount and her crew set out through The Pale Passage in search of the absolute magnetic meridian. The ship and its crew tragically died in the ice and were never seen again. Her sister ship, HMS The Temperance, will follow in her footsteps, hoping to find answers to where HMS Viscount has failed. The polar exploration game takes place in an unforgiving, frozen desert where you embark on a perilous journey across the ice and through The Pale Beyond. It's a stunning yet rugged landscape that could change at any time. Every decision matters, and ice doesn't care. As your expedition progresses and polar winter approaches, every decision you make will have a significant impact on the story as you traverse the ice. You didn't ask to lead this expedition, but here you are. Stuck in the ice, the captain is missing, many miles from civilization. Someone has to take responsibility. Manage your meager resources, maintain a balance between safety and morale, make tough decisions, and navigate the only possible direction - through The Pale Beyond. The safety of the crew (and sled dogs) during the expedition is absolutely essential. Survival on the ice will be of little consequence in the face of rebellion. Every vote counts. So keep the crew on your side. It offers original musical compositions, shanties, and accordion melodies that will dynamically evolve with your journey.
