Players pick from one of eight classes sent on an expedition to brave the unfriendly Arctic in search of the Northwest Passage. Several months into the voyage, the crew finds themselves stranded without fuel or food in the arctic wasteland of Canada & are forced to scrape up what little resources they can from their surroundings to survive & pull through.

...Unfortunately, wildlife, starvation, & the elements aren't the crew's sole worries. Two of the eight shipmates, explorers from failed expeditions, are secretly agents of a malicious supernatural deity & are hellbent on sabotaging the expedition at all costs through deception, violence, & blood magic.

Its contemporaries include the wildly successful VideoGame/AmongUs, as well as VideoGame/ProjectWinter, a game with a somewhat similar premise, albeit in a modern setting without supernatural elements. For its primary inspiration, see Creator/RidleyScott's novel Literature/TheTerror & the [[Series/TheTerror 2018 miniseries adaptation]].

->"We are nearly through the passage, the storm bites at our heels, and the crew whispers of blood and dark magic."

* CastofSnowflakes: Each one of the eight crewmates is visually distinct from the others, wildly differing in both physique and attire. From the young, weedy Chaplain to the obese, permanently-smiling Cook, no two explorers look alike.

* NitroExpress: In order to progress on their mission, the explorers are forced to search for crates of nitroglycerine inexplicably hidden at the far corners of the map, then carefully escort it to the massive iceberg blocking the exit. Just their luck, the paths to the explosives are often guarded by wolves, polar bears, and rabid packs of feral cannibals.
