An intriguing horror game where we get to understand that as mankind continuously explores and digs deeper into parts unknown, that some things are best left hidden.

The graphics and story are quite good, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference which options you choose during conversations, some have multiple options. Some of those options will reveal further layers of the unwinding story, some won't.

For a free point&click game is rather good I most say, but IMO is hardly a "horror" game, because is very light on that aspect to my taste.
There's also to much backtracking and the character doesn't run, fortunately you can double click on doors and it will teleport the character to them, you can also skip dialogues, what is always nice.
Some puzzles have more than one solution and you get different achievements for solving them each different way (for those that care about achievements... I don't) also to me at lest, some of the puzzles were rather difficult.
Anyway it is free, so play it.

fun game would recommend to anyone good story line too

Awesome free horror game.
The plot is good, the characters are likable, the puzzles are fine but somewhat challenging at times.
Whole game reminds me of "The Thing" from 1982. Great movie and you can clearly see the inspiration here.
Overall 8.5/10 imo. Simple yet effective (and first of all, FREE) horror game.

Very old school. Ugly early 2004 style graphics, predictable story, some puzzles feel quite random. Manual input to some of the puzzles.

You have to be a fan of old timey point'n'click adventure games to appreciate this. Nothing outstanding but if you already played similar games back in the day you might enjoy this.

Has a bargain bin quality to it but also a bit of charm.

Alpha Polaris is a point-and-click adventure game where a group of people on a remote oil research station experience maddening dreams about an ancient evil. It's kinda Lovecraftian but leans a lot more to Inuit folklore. The Steam release has bigger resolution, English voice acting, as well as achievements. Trading cards no longer drop due to the game being free now.

Gameplay-wise it plays almost like any other point-and-click game, with the unique addition of parser puzzles. In these ones, you'll have to type the solution. It's not like a multiple choice, you can type anything, so without a guide these might be a bit confusing. You should investigate the area to guess what the solution is. As for the normal puzzles, they are all very logical and makes sense, no moon logic involved.

I really like the atmosphere and slow-burn horror, but in my opinion this game could use more areas as the ones available are usually repeating. Sure it makes sense to not travel too much when you're in the Arctic, but more area especially surrounding the ancient evil would be better. And as I said above, Alpha Polaris used to be paid, but since it's free now sadly due to the closure of the studio, you should give their game a try.

Nice little, enjoyable adventure game.
great voice acting. -though the guy from Norway lost his accent.
B-movie plot that seems faithful to NA mythology.
no moonlogic.

its not a must play, but i do recommend if your in the mood.

GooD enough to be SOLD..

I fully understand how this game might sound appealing, it did to me as well! The only issue is that it feels extremely rushed, which is understandable coming from an indie studio, but it just doesn't hit the spot in this case.

It feels this game was based off of both 'The Thing' and 'Beneath the mountains of madness', which are both amazing pieces of media to pull inspiration from and the buildup was done quite well! The ending however left me not caring about anyone in the game or the actual outcome of the game :(

Definitely give it a go, but don't expect to be blown away!

no polar bears were hurt making the game
