The good news is that the researcher has stumbled upon an Arctic Research Station called "Base 75", so he has shelter. The bad news is that the base has no power, meaning no heat, which means that the researcher has to fight to keep himself warm.

* ResourcesManagementGameplay: Besides your health and ammo, you also have to manage your temperature, which drops quicker the colder the room your are in is, and can only be restored by the limited number of warming drinks in the base. You even have to manage the temperature of the rooms in the base, as leaving doors open to exposed areas or much colder sections (like the freezing main hallway) will result in the temperature of that room dropping rapidly. Just like a ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' game, there's also a limited number of save items.
