You are an operative sent into a harsh Arctic landscape to investigate a spreading black goo virus and retrieve classified materials. Play alone or with others, complete mission objectives, and call for evacuation before the approaching nuclear strike.
Explore snowy locations, search buildings and supply caches, and use weapons such as shotguns, flamethrowers, and flare guns to face hostile creatures. Nightfall can make travel more dangerous, while infection checks and limited-use vaccines help you judge and respond to possible infection in yourself or your huskies.
Manage scarce supplies and a five-slot inventory as you work toward extraction. Huskies can be trained to scavenge, guard, or warn of danger, and snowmobiles and helicopters help you cross the terrain. Earn points for perks, unlock suits and emotes, and adjust world settings; randomized events, enemies, items, and scenarios vary each run.
Players who enjoy the game often point to the fun of coordinating with friends, the unnerving snowy atmosphere, and the tension of facing threats after dark. Reviews also describe unpredictable mishaps and uncertainty about infected teammates as sources of memorable, sometimes funny moments. Some players find the experience held back by bugs, rough controls, and performance problems.
Join your fellow players in assembling an elite extraction team for a thrilling mission to recover classified materials hidden in the harsh Arctic landscape. Gather the necessary supplies to call in an evacuation chopper and make your escape back to civilization. Will you succeed?
Explore a vast open world with a variety of vehicles and trusty huskies to help you navigate the expansive terrain. Earn points to unlock powerful perks at soda machines, discover new suits, and even unlock dance moves! But beware—time is running out. With a devastating nuclear strike looming from the US government to contain the black goo virus, your mission is clear: salvage critical information about the virus before it’s too late. Can you beat the clock and complete your mission?
Beware the lurking threat of the black goo virus. In this perilous mission, you must test for infections and stay vigilant—anyone, even your loyal husky companions, could turn at any moment. Manage your resources wisely; each vaccine can cure an infection only once, and your inventory is limited to just five slots.
Scavenge for flamethrowers, shotguns, flare guns, and more to defend yourself against the relentless dangers. Will you make the right choices to survive, or will the virus claim you?
