A cataclysmic blizzard locked the planet in ice for decades, and civilization did not survive the freeze. Scattered groups of survivors now cross frozen wastelands, contending with wildlife that has mutated in the cold and a temperature that kills anyone who stays exposed too long. You wake in this environment with a single companion: a husky puppy. The immediate task is survival — gathering resources, finding and taming animals, building shelter against the cold. Beyond survival, there is the question that no one has answered: what caused the freeze, and whether the warmth humanity once knew is something that can ever be recovered.
