You can escape with little to no cannibalism, even!
The captain’s dead and thing’s aren’t going well on your Arctic expedition in The Pale Beyond, a new hybrid of resource management, survival sim, and visual novel that’s the debut title from Bellular Games, a studio based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The game’s format is being pretty well-received on Steam, where it has so far met with 92% positive reviews.
You’re given charge of an antarctic expedition following in the footsteps of another, previous failed expedition. That is to say, you’re put in charge after the first captain goes missing and the ship gets stuck in the ice. That’s just the first of your problem, as anyone familiar with historical arctic and antarctic expeditions can tell you: Things go very bad very fast once everything around you freezes to well below zero.
