About Pole of Cold

✦ AI summary

Pole of Cold is a survival horror game where you explore an Antarctic research station infected by an ancient organism, using stealth and environmental knowledge to outrun deadly creatures hunting you down. With permadeath forcing you to memorize room layouts and lock doors strategically, your only chance at escape lies in staying ahead of coordinated monsters that won't stop until they catch you.

For the first time, a group of scientists in Antarctica managed to get ice samples aged over 4 mln years. When studying the samples, they found spores of an ancient unicellular organism, never discovered by science before.

The employee handling the samples got infected with an unknown organism. The further fate of the group is unknown.

You play for an employee of the polar station in Pole of Cold. Explore it and find a way to escape death. Thousands of kilometers, severe frosts and deadly monsters are between you and salvation.
  • You have one try only; the game starts over after you die.
  • Hiding and fighting is no use – run if you want to survive! Remember the location of the rooms to avoid getting into a dead end; lock the doors behind you when escaping – this will slow down the enemy.
  • Be careful: the enemy is not alone, and they act together.

Quite poor quality. Try "Monstrum" instead.

The game is small but not bad. Something reminded me of an old school film The Thing by John Carpenter.

A simple and fun horror. that's basically a cheaper Monstrum. There's one main building with 3 floors, and a shed beside it. 2 monsters, 2 escape methods, and about a dozen items. take the right items to the right place, and you can make progress towards one of the escapes. One moster will kill you, the other will slow you down, drop what your holding, and call the other monster, to kill you. your dead. Time to start again, everything's in the same place. Time to run about recklessly and dab on those monsters, as you speedrun your way into the safety of the antarctic wastes!

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
