About The Black Ice
The «Vostok» scientific complex in Antarctica goes silent after discovering an anomalous structure in the ice—a mass of black ice containing a substance of extraterrestrial origin. At first, the discovery was considered a scientific breakthrough, but very soon the excitement turned to panic and fear.Polar explorer Oleg is an experienced explorer of the Antarctic wilderness. He responded to an SOS signal to investigate the situation. He has years of expeditions, deadly routes and encounters with the cold that breaks not only the body but also the will. This brave polar explorer, who set out to face the storm, doesn't yet know what awaits him…Alexey is a special agent for the large corporation "Novy Svet," who arrived to document the virus leak and fully neutralize its consequences. Behind his calm exterior lies a man who has seen too much to believe in happy endings. His mission: gather evidence, clean up anything that could pose a threat, and prevent the nightmare from spreading beyond the station.What awaits you:
- Two playable characters, each with their own story. But sooner or later, these stories will intertwine.
- An atmosphere where you're constantly vulnerable.
- Limited inventory. Choose wisely what you bring.
- Varied and challenging puzzles.
- Diverse enemies with their own unique characteristics.

The Black Ice is one of those psychological horror games that gets under your skin immediately. The atmosphere is thick, cold, and oppressive in the best way — every hallway feels like it’s hiding something, and the sound design keeps you on edge the entire time. The stealth is very unforgiving, but honestly, that’s part of what makes it work. You’re not meant to feel powerful here. You’re meant to feel hunted, fragile, and constantly one mistake away from disaster. When you pull off a perfect sneak or escape, it feels earned. The whole experience gives me The Callisto Protocol vibes — that same blend of sci‑fi dread, body‑horror tension, and cinematic presentation. As someone who loves The Callisto Protocol, this scratched that itch immediately. If you’re into atmospheric psychological horror with high‑stakes stealth and a heavy sci‑fi tone, The Black Ice is absolutely worth diving into.4 found this helpful
The Black Ice was an awesome experience from start to finish. If your a fan of the classic Resident Evil games , you'll definitely love this. The game has that same tense, creepy atmosphere where your constantly on edge, solving puzzle's, and trying to survive 10/10.2 found this helpful

Good luck with the release!
