Story description
Six people, one research station and five months of dark. The last plane has gone.
Winter Over is an interactive horror story set at Halden Station, a small polar research base. You are one of six wintering crew, and nobody is coming until spring.
A small group in a long dark
- Work shifts, share meals, maintain the station and keep each other going.
- Notice when small things stop adding up: someone behaves differently, a sound comes from a sealed module.
- Decide whom to trust, and what to do when you cannot tell.
Lena leads and rarely panics. Marcus fixes everything. Priya is a doctor who is getting worried. Sven cooks and keeps everyone's spirits up. What is wrong at Halden is different every time you play, and you may never be sure until the end.
Claustrophobic and human
White silence outside, warm light inside and a slow erosion of trust.
Six bowls, six places, one empty chair. Where do you sit?
Characters
The station leader and glaciologist. Calm, exacting and slow to alarm.
The station engineer. Warm, handy and the heart of the group.
The station doctor. Kind, observant and increasingly worried.
The cook and general hand. Gruff, funny and the one who keeps everyone's spirits up.
