About the Game

You awaken in a sprawling snowy landscape with nothing but a dwindling warmth meter. Scattered across the terrain are glowing orbs of hidden warmth; collect them to stay alive. But the cold is unforgiving, and the orbs are cleverly hidden among trees, rocks, and rolling hills.

With camera-relative movement, smooth third-person controls, and a procedurally generated world, every playthrough feels fresh and challenging.
