After the enigmatic deaths of an American scientific expedition in the uncharted and frozen wastelands of the Antarctic, a military rescue team is sent to investigate their deaths. Within these inhospitable surroundings the team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of people that it kills. The game brings fear and suspense to unimaginable levels, with a compelling plot and unique gameplay elements based upon action, evasion, trust and fear. Forget everything you ever learned about obliterating alien species simply with a barrage of violent ammunition – this monster is difficult to see, hard to kill, and seemingly impossible to evade.

Amazing lighting, weather and particle effects complemented by subtle sound cues and scripted events create a new level of suspense and terror.
* Unique combat system that allows weapons to be customized and scratch built in many cases.
* Puzzle Solving can be accomplished by a multitude of scenarios – there is never just one way to accomplish an objective.
