That Which Gave Chase

That Which Gave Chase is a first-person, narrative-driven dog sledding horror game set in the frozen Arctic. As a sled dog musher, you take a scientist across treacherous terrain on the final leg of an expedition he had to abandon. A stranger guides you and promises a great reward if you both reach your destination unharmed.

Sled through the Arctic

You plan your route and steer a physics-based sled, keeping it from tipping as you travel through linear paths and more open-ended but contained areas. The journey follows a linear, walking-sim-like structure and combines adventure with light horror. Its story is text-heavy, with an emphasis on mood and atmosphere.

Retrace the expedition

The narrative is disjointed, using sudden cuts as you follow the expedition’s steps further into the grey. You can look for clues and learn to read the strange place around you; there may be more to uncover. An average playthrough takes around 45–60 minutes.
