The verdict
A tense Arctic survival and social deduction game that shines with a full group of friends, but official servers are shut down and it's delisted. Skip it unless you already own it and have friends.
Great for
Groups of friends who already own it and enjoy deep, paranoid social deduction with survival mechanics
Main risk
Official servers are closed and the game is delisted, so you can't buy it or find lobbies
