Lore

In 1971, scientists from the Norwegian University discovered an asteroid in the sky. According to calculations, it was supposed to pass close to Earth. However, as it later became known, the calculations were incorrect, and in September 1971, a massive asteroid impact was recorded in the East China Sea region.

Strong earthquakes began all over the Earth. Within a few days, a tsunami wave up to 10 km high completely destroyed about 90% of all existing cities. The release of burning soil particles and meteorite debris led to large-scale forest fires in the surviving areas.

The impact sent a huge amount of dust into the sky, completely blocking sunlight from reaching the Earth. This caused a mass extinction of plants that depended on the sun, and, as a result, the animals that relied on them.

According to scientists, the meteorite impact caused a shift in Earth's orbit and a change in the poles, leading to a sharp drop in global temperatures.

By 1980, the temperature at Earth's new equator had dropped to -20 degrees Celsius in the summer. The only habitable areas were now the northern territories, previously known as Europe. The remaining survivors attempted to migrate toward this new center. The planet experienced the worst famine in history.

In 1983, a new city was founded in the mountains of Sweden. Within just a few years, its population grew to 100,000, leading to severe food shortages, epidemics, and riots. The city's authorities were unable to cope with the influx of people and the critical shortage of medicine. The last recorded mentions of the city date back to 1987. There is no data on any survivors.

1989 – According to various sources, Earth's population was estimated to be between 7,000 and 12,000 people. The remaining survivors struggled to adapt to the conditions of eternal winter.

1996 – There was no exact data on the remaining survivors. On the border of Finland and Sweden, an active volcano was discovered, around which a settlement named Saint Alice was established, named after the woman who discovered the volcano. The settlement's population numbered a few hundred people. There was no information about other settlements, and searches for survivors continued.

2004 – The volcano's temperature decreased each year, making the settlement increasingly colder. Construction began on a ship capable of traveling long distances. The goal of the expedition was to find new places suitable for habitation.

By the end of 2007, the construction of the ship Steinfish was completed. By majority decision, a captain and a crew of 20 were selected.

It is time to begin our journey.

Features

Changing world

Every new game is unique, because we create a world from small fragments, ensuring that each time you will experience a new, remarkable adventure. At the moment, the plot of the game remains the same, but everything that happens around it will change, bringing unexpected twists to the game.

For those who complete the story campaign, but wish to continue the journey, we have provided a survival mode.

Events

Depending on the difficulty level, events can either add interest to the story, or deal you a crushing blow. Primarily, the events are designed to add variety and increase the complexity of the gameplay. But let's not forget the good things - sometimes a couple of new workers or a (hidden) cache of supplies can save the entire expedition.

Management

You are the captain of a constantly moving ship, with all the accompanying benefits and drawbacks. All management decisions are left to you: construct new buildings, craft objects, research technologies and oversee everything happening on board. Every decision you make impacts your crew and their belief in the success of our mission.

Crew

Manage your loyal crew. Assign people to the most essential tasks for today. But remember, this harsh world does not forget mistakes. Like you, people venture out to explore the world, or stay aboard to handle construction, cooking, crafting, and much more.

World

With preparations complete, it's time for us to embark on our journey into the world. Explore, craft, gather resources, and complete tasks - but remember, you must come back by evening. Staying alone in the cold dark forest is not the best option.
