About the game
You and a friend leave an Antarctic research camp after a flare and a radio message signal trouble. Reaching the missing explorers means finding routes through the snow and working out the machines inside Castle Rock. You inspect symbols, adjust equipment and piece together clues while a darker story develops around the castle.
Each of you sees a different part of the problem. You describe your surroundings through a walkie-talkie, listen to your partner and test a solution together. Some sections put you beside each other, while others separate you completely. Timed puzzles can turn a confused explanation into a hurried argument. It suits a patient pair who enjoy difficult escape rooms and the relief of finally understanding a puzzle.
