About The Black Ice
The Black Ice is a story-driven game set at the «Vostok» scientific complex in Antarctica. After researchers discover an anomalous structure in the ice—a mass of black ice containing a substance of extraterrestrial origin—the complex falls silent. What begins as a scientific breakthrough soon gives way to panic and fear.
Two characters
You play as two characters, each with their own story, which eventually intertwines. Oleg, an experienced polar explorer, answers an SOS signal and sets out to investigate the complex. His years of expeditions, dangerous routes and encounters with the Antarctic cold have tested both his body and his will.
Alexey is a special agent for the corporation «Novy Svet», sent to document a virus leak and neutralize its consequences. He must gather evidence, remove anything that could pose a threat and stop the nightmare from spreading beyond the station.
Surviving the station
You face an atmosphere of constant vulnerability, varied and challenging puzzles, and diverse enemies with distinct characteristics. Inventory space is limited, so you must choose carefully what to carry.
