About There's Something In The Ice

In 2015, three scientists at the Antarctic research station "Zarya" drilled into the ice to a depth of 2 kilometers and took samples for study... It seems that what they found was not at all what they were looking for...

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the game's eerie atmosphere and The Thing-inspired premise, with some finding it a genuinely tense experience worth playing on sale. However, common complaints center on the protagonist's questionable intelligence, janky movement and animations, visible monsters that undermine the horror, and odd design choices like partial voice acting and limited combat options that frustrate players, especially scientists who feel NPCs should be smarter and more resourceful.

Short indie horror, let's say "inspired by" The Thing. It's not the worst thing ever but the stupidity of the protagonist is actually quite alarming. Some interesting ideas sprinkled here but I didn't feel like this was worth the hour in the end.

Unplayable. Looks pixelated. Settings don't work. Can't say anything for the story because I can't play the game. Upon viewing the discussions, there seem to be other problems this developer is ignoring. Save your money for now.

Good eerie horror game, benefiting from a chilling setting and a tense atmosphere. Nice little throwback to the Thing. Very short, but good. Definitely recommended, especially if you buy it on sale.

some will enjoy---we are surrounded by tools gas fire extinguishers yet we can only wield a flashlight..for scientists, i think NPC's should be smarter. had good atmosphere but movement is janky and idk if even have health...just a strange game. like, what is up with the jump? anywho, when i couldn't save 'you know who', i was done...may finish playing it when im realllllly bored but with so many games...idk, may return. bummer. :steamfacepalm::steamsalty::steamsad:
