Alpha Polaris is a point-and-click horror adventure game set at a remote research station in Greenland. I play as Rune Knudsen, a biologist working at the station, where a series of strange events gradually turns an isolated scientific expedition into something much more frightening. The remote Arctic setting immediately gives the game a tense atmosphere because there is nowhere nearby to escape to when things start...

Alpha Polaris: A Horror Adventure Game, developed and published by Turmoil Games, is a traditional point-and-click experience that builds its identity around isolation, psychological tension, and a creeping sense of the unknown. Set in a remote Arctic research station in Greenland, the game places players in the role of Rune Knudsen, a biologist whose routine work is gradually disrupted by strange discoveries beneath...

Overlooked atmospheric horror adventure set in the arctic Anyone who is a Thing fan or similar horror adventure games like Scratches or the original Black Mirror/Death's Messenger would probably enjoy this though temper your expectations, the arctic makes for a good setting with its natural sense of isolation and ethereal atmosphere. The game itself isn't that long or challenging but it does set up a decent mystery...

The best gooner game on Steam! The environmental puzzles mostly don't make any sense and there's barely any story, but it's competently put together and quite enjoyable.

Game made years ago at the most pathetic heights of the climate lunatic fever religion. "Twilight of the polar bears" :D "reclining ice cap".. After 15 years since this game was put out, polar bear population is thriving, ice caps come and go. There is no "normal" temperature or ice levels on earth, earth and climate has been changing 4,5 billion years, and you paying more taxes to corrupt politicians or stop eating...

The environmental art is nice to look at. The characters are unmemorable but at least tolerable. So far so good. While hauling and then vaccinating the polar bear, things start to go downhill. What am I supposed to do here? The puzzles, aargh! After a few other similar incidents of perfect puzzlement, I figured that I can't figure them out. Whatever the puzzle designer was thinking, I couldn't follow that thinking....
