Near Death

Near Death is about surviving alone in Antarctica after your plane crash-lands. Stranded at the abandoned Sutro Station during the polar night, you must explore the facility and use the tools available to escape and find your way home. Darkness, temperatures 100 degrees below zero and conditions too harsh for rescue make the environment a constant threat.

Explore Sutro Station

You can explore the research station across a seamless open world and an unforgiving landscape. In storms with zero visibility, you mark your route with light trails. You melt frozen obstacles to search the base for supplies and use a personal heater to create pockets of warmth.

Survive the elements

A dynamic weather system combines snow, wind, temperature and lighting to produce conditions from blinding whiteouts to brief calm spells. A real-time temperature simulation freezes and thaws the environment room by room, based on exposure to the elements, building layouts, the base’s power system and your efforts to establish safe areas with makeshift repairs.

You can find blueprints and upgrades that improve your capabilities and help you withstand the cold. An original score of ambient music underscores the isolation of Sutro Station.
