Cold Contours: Intake

Cold Contours: Intake is an atmospheric first-person physics puzzle game. You make your way through an industrial megastructure built to hold back the cold, heading toward its heart. The cold has overtaken the structure: its halls are empty, almost all its machinery is frozen beneath the ice, and only a few machines still run.

Use the cubes

Your exosuit’s claws begin with two heavy cubes. You can throw them to knock things down or jolt stuck mechanisms into motion, then call them back at any time. Once charged, the cubes act as electromagnets: they cling to metal and pull in anything that is not bolted down.

Control polarity

You can switch each magnet’s polarity independently. Opposite poles attract and like poles repel, letting you push platforms apart, pull objects together and operate machinery from a distance.

Work with your exosuit

The exosuit was made for the workers who once kept the megastructure running. Gauges on your chest show your health and temperature, while the claws help you haul yourself onto ledges. Its power frame lets you jump far and land without a scratch.
