About

Welcome Survivors,
we started Frozen Below a while ago and want to use Early Access to make the best out of it. For that purpose the first launch will feature only the prologue with roughly 1 hour of gameplay and plan to release further progression over time while including changes and updates based on feedback.
So we invite everyone to discuss and build a truly enjoyable horror escape game with us.

Dive into the heart of the Arctic, where the relentless cold is only the beginning of your nightmares. Frozen Below is a first-person survival horror experience that takes you through the frozen wastelands and into the depths of hidden, icy caverns. You are a researcher stranded after an unexpected accident cuts off your team's communications and your only way home. But the Arctic is not as empty as it seems...
As you explore the barren, snow-covered landscape, you’ll uncover traces of an ancient and horrifying secret buried deep within the ice. Mysterious creatures lurk in the shadows, stalking you at every turn. Your only goal is to survive, unravel the truth, and escape this frozen hell.
Explore the Arctic: Roam the eerie, frozen surface and delve into labyrinthine ice caves. Each location is more sinister than the last, and every step brings you closer to the horrifying truth that lies buried in the ice.
Survival Horror: Limited resources mean you must manage supplies carefully. Every flare, every flashlight battery, and every moment counts when you're up against the unknown.
Stealth and Strategy: The creatures in the caves are sensitive to sound and light. Use the darkness to your advantage, but beware—something might be watching you from the shadows.
Dynamic Environment: The Arctic landscape is constantly shifting. Collapsing ice, blizzards, and disorienting darkness make each venture into the caves a life-or-death decision.
Puzzle Solving: Decipher ancient runes, navigate through treacherous cave systems, and solve environmental puzzles to unlock new areas. Only by piecing together clues can you find the path to escape.
Immersive Sound Design: Every howl of the wind, crunch of the snow, and distant growl will leave you questioning what lurks beyond the next corner.
Can you survive the relentless cold, the ever-present danger, and the chilling secrets that lie beneath the ice? Prepare yourself for Frozen Below, your escape from the Arctic won’t be easy.
With realistic graphics, immersive sound design, and a gripping storyline, "Frozen Below: Arctic Expedition" will keep you on the edge of your seat as you journey into the abyss of the Arctic cave. Can you survive the frozen terror that awaits you in the depths of the cave and uncover the truth before it's too late? Get ready to face your fears and embark on a chilling adventure unlike any other on Steam.

I cant believe you guys got Aaron Paul to voice act this game is SPOOKY!
This game looks and feels really good! I like the originality of the idea and the level of detail every part of the game has, even if some of them are pure macabre. The map is huge, you'll have to run a lot, but this comes with something positive too, that you actually can run for a long period and not be tired after a few steps. The voice acting is just on point, you can really feel the desperation and fear in the character's voice. The snowstorm sound effect, the short cutscenes with the monsters and their screams in the dark create a truly unsettling atmosphere. There are some minor bugs here and there, but nothing that will spoil your gaming experience. The only thing I can complain about is the fact that your light source turns off when you're climbing a ladder, but I somehow can see the logic behind it, because it would be pretty hard to use only one hand in the process. The game runs smoothie, I didn't encounter any performance issue. I highly recommend it! Here's the full gameplay if you're interested: https://youtu.be/Q_2FYo3z7TM
Game have good futur if dev's doesn't abandon the game like many other EA.
[h1]Frozen Below: Arctic Expedition - A Chilling Survival Horror in the Frozen Wasteland[/h1] [i]"A terrifying journey into the heart of the Arctic's dark secrets."[/i] Frozen Below: Arctic Expedition is a [b]first-person survival horror[/b] set in the harsh, unforgiving Arctic landscape. Players take on the role of a stranded researcher trying to escape after an accident. As you explore icy caverns and the desolate snow-covered surface, you’ll uncover horrific secrets buried beneath the ice. The game successfully combines survival mechanics with stealth, offering a tense and immersive experience. [h2]Atmosphere and Immersion[/h2] The game excels in building a spine-chilling atmosphere. The sound design plays a huge role, with howling winds, distant growls, and eerie snowstorm effects making every step feel unsettling. The environment is dynamic, with collapsing ice, blizzards, and darkness that heightens the tension. The voice acting, particularly the protagonist's desperation, perfectly matches the atmosphere, making the experience even more immersive. [h2]Gameplay and Mechanics[/h2] The gameplay is built around resource management, stealth, and puzzle-solving. You must be strategic with your limited resources, whether it’s managing flares, flashlight batteries, or navigating treacherous environments. The creatures lurking in the shadows are sensitive to sound and light, adding an extra layer of strategy. While the game’s prologue is short, it’s an effective introduction to the game’s core mechanics and eerie setting. [h2]Graphics and Performance[/h2] Visually, Frozen Below does a great job in conveying the desolate beauty of the Arctic. The environments are well-crafted, and the dynamic weather effects are impressive. Despite some minor bugs here and there, the game runs smoothly without performance issues. One small gripe is that the light source turns off when climbing a ladder, but this feels like a logical mechanic given the game's setup. [h2]Final Verdict[/h2] In conclusion, Frozen Below: Arctic Expedition offers a solid start to a promising survival horror experience. Its atmosphere, immersive sound design, and tense gameplay make it a game worth checking out for horror fans. Despite being in Early Access, it shows a lot of potential, and I’m excited to see how it evolves. If you enjoy immersive, atmospheric horror games, this one is definitely worth a play.

Unreal 5.3.2 so you know it looks great, well when you can see. super linear, always dark, and there's not much here. It's a classic "To Be Continued" game. I took the liberty of taking a couple short-cuts and was done in like 16 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=theXTvpjKdo
Great start i think there should be more ways of keeping body temperature up it gets annoying when you freeze to death and start some parts over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP_uHIfOpOs
I bought the game in the first month and played it around December. Even at that time, when the game only had a prologue, it showed great potential. The graphics were amazing, the premise was interesting, and I liked the puzzle-solving and kinda player-based choices. I came back to check what had happened, and I see 14 months with no development. Sad to see. For 1€, the 30–50 minute prologue would be fine. I would recommend it for that price, but I do not recommend buying it now because of the wasted potential.
soo Frozen Below huh ? the only thing frozen is the volume, because how often you try to make it quieter it basically doesnt really change. its super LOUD and its dark as heck. all the settings are basically just workin 5%. The idea and setting of this game is really nice..but its really unplayble.. and thats sad.
