What it is about
A CHOOSE A GRISLY DEATH solo adventure with multiple endings! It’s been almost a hundred years since the first occult expedition to Antarctica. Others followed, and many of them did not make it back. Recently, a privately-owned research station has gone dark, and strange signals are being broadcast from the desolate Antarctic Plateau. For this Advanced Psychological Strategies assessment, you will take on the role of a Closer, part of the second team which has been sent to investigate mysterious transmissions coming from MacReady Station. Once your team lands, you will be cut off from all external resources. You will only have your wits, your coat of many pockets, and your Personal Therapeutic Construct. Will they be enough for you to survive the Cold Empty? Intended for solo play, this adventure is reminiscent of old school text-based adventure games. All the decisions are yours, and there are so many ways to die—usually horribly. It's old school choice-driven role-playing!
