Unravel the Mystery in Deep Frost

In Deep Frost, paranoia drives gameplay as you navigate the chilling confines of Halström Outpost 7, a remote Antarctic research station. Trapped among twelve researchers, a deadly parasitic intelligence known as the Thaw has begun replacing crew members. With only nine days to identify the infected, every decision you make is steeped in tension and uncertainty, as the fight for survival unfolds against a backdrop of betrayal and eerie silence.

Social-Deduction and Psychological Tension

This social-deduction roguelike invites players to interrogate and deceive. Each researcher's fate—and yours—hangs in the balance. As you interact through a comprehensive social verb system, your choices influence the web of suspicion that binds the crew. Engage in round-table interrogations where you too are questioned, pushing you to lie or reveal the truth. Will you risk your survival to expose a liar, or will you protect your own secrets?
