Arctic Awakening is a first-person narrative adventure set in the mysterious Arctic North where you and your robotic companion, Alfie, must search for your co-pilot and uncover the mysteries waiting around every turn.

It was supposed to be routine. A supply drop to an Alaskan town, auto-pilot on, guard down. You and Donovan were already planning post mission drinks when it happened.
The storm.
Half the plane disappeared in a flash. Donovan was gone, lost to the howling tempest. Waking from the crash, you find yourself alone, trapped in a frozen wilderness, your only companions a court-mandated therapy bot and temperatures that can cut a man to shreds. Hope for survival lies in finding your friend and maybe a way home.
You are Kai, a pilot without a plane, lost in the wilderness of the far north. You’ll need your wits about you to brave the elements, find your co-pilot and get the hell out of Dodge. Along the way, you might just discover what it was that cut your plane clean in two... and what it is making those noises after dark.


Arctic Awakening is a narrative adventure where your choices affect the decisions of those around you. Your actions will change your relationship with your companions and perhaps your story itself.


Exploring vast landscapes and their hidden sci-fi structures is key to unraveling the secrets that surround you. Uncover the mystery of your missing co-pilot, the source of the catastrophe that left you stranded, and maybe, just maybe, find a way home.


The environment itself is a character, one not always on your side. You’ll journey through an ever-changing world of dynamic weather, gorgeously realized vistas and unusual structures that create an atmosphere of discovery, potential and unease. But are you really as alone out here as you think?
