Early Access The Black Ice

[p]Friends, we are happy to announce the early access of our game The Black Ice on Steam. Let our release be a small gift for you for the New Year holidays. This is the time when atmospheric stories, cold weather, and complete immersion are especially welcome.[/p][p][/p][h2]Description:[/h2][p]The Black Ice is an atmospheric horror game set in the abandoned Antarctic station Vostok, cut off from the world by ice, silence, and uncertainty. [/p][p]A brave agent is sent to the station after a distress signal. He must find out why communication has been lost, where the staff has gone, and what lies behind the locked doors. The game's title refers to a rare natural phenomenon—black ice, which contains foreign, possibly extraterrestrial particles buried under the Antarctic cold millions of years ago.[/p][p][/p][p]The game was developed over a year and a half by Antelus Games in collaboration with St. Petersburg-based Red Crab Games. The project has come a long way during this time, and players now have access to about 3–4 hours of gameplay in early access. And, of course, the story is just beginning, with future updates bringing new locations, a continuation of the plot, and a gradual expansion of the world.[/p][p][/p][h2]What awaits players?[/h2]
