What to Expect
You're trapped in an arctic outpost where a shape‑shifting Horror can mimic anyone. Each round you play two cards: one as movement through color-coded passages and one as an action. Mistrust, deduction and timing decide who survives; many games come down to the final two players.
Who Is This Game For?
Aimed at groups and experienced party players (age 14+), it favors social deduction and bluffing. With a 15‑minute playtime it's a short party filler that rewards observation rather than long-term strategy. No prior knowledge required, but familiarity with semi-coop/traitor mechanics helps.
How It Works
Each round you receive two cards and must use each once—one for movement and one for an action. Play proceeds around the table: you play one card, others play theirs, then play returns and you play your second card. This ensures one movement and one action per round. The game's Semi-Cooperative Game, Traitor Game and Sudden Death Ending mechanics create shifting alliances and abrupt conclusions.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Gaeton Dragone and Ivan Turner, the game mixes horror movie themes (Movies: The Thing) with positional movement in an Antarctic survival setting (Continents: Antarctica). The semi-coop + traitor mix makes every table unpredictable.
Pro
- Short playtime (~15 minutes) — great as a party filler
- High social interaction via Semi-Cooperative and Traitor mechanics
- Positional movement adds tactical depth to actions
- Clear horror/survival movie theme
Contra
- Requires 4–10 players — not suited to very small groups
- Bluff and psychological pressure may be uncomfortable for some
- Limited long-term depth across sessions
Setting & atmosphere
Set in an arctic research outpost with survival horror vibes and film references. The theme centers on suspicion, positional play and lethal decisions.
Tips for beginners
Focus on watching others' positions and actions; communicate expectations in your group to reduce chaotic misunderstandings.
Frequently asked questions

The listed duration is about 15 minutes; including explanation time a session may run slightly longer.
What prior experience do I need?
Basic familiarity with social deduction or traitor-style games helps but isn't mandatory.
How does this compare to similar games?
Unlike many social-deduction titles, this game ties movement and actions together with semi-coop and traitor elements, making positioning more significant.
Is this suitable for families?
With a minimum age of 14 and psychological bluff elements, it's better for older teens and adults than for young children.
What mechanic makes it special?
The mix of Semi-Cooperative Game, Traitor Game and Sudden Death Ending yields shifting alliances and tense finales.
Fazit
Fast, social and paranoia-driven: recommended for groups who enjoy deduction and bluffing. Not suitable if you want long engine-building or deep strategic campaigns.
