About
Join your fellow players in assembling an elite extraction team for a thrilling mission to recover classified materials hidden in the harsh Arctic landscape. Gather the necessary supplies to call in an evacuation chopper and make your escape back to civilization. Will you succeed?
Explore a vast open world with a variety of vehicles and trusty huskies to help you navigate the expansive terrain. Earn points to unlock powerful perks at soda machines, discover new suits, and even unlock dance moves! But beware—time is running out. With a devastating nuclear strike looming from the US government to contain the black goo virus, your mission is clear: salvage critical information about the virus before it’s too late. Can you beat the clock and complete your mission?
Beware the lurking threat of the black goo virus. In this perilous mission, you must test for infections and stay vigilant—anyone, even your loyal husky companions, could turn at any moment.

Scavenge for flamethrowers, shotguns, flare guns, and more to defend yourself against the relentless dangers. Will you make the right choices to survive, or will the virus claim you?

Me recuerda a Penumbra
Game make me go ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Game's alright, when you know what's going on and not dead waiting for the game to finally end. Most of the lobbies you join you either have to wait to end, or have to wander in the dark and get killed by something. The lobbies I've joined usually have people who don't talk at all and communicate pretty rarely (not particularly the dev's fault, but this was my entire experience with this game).

COOL GAME
Terrifying if you get separated from your friends at night. Absolute cinema.
Вещи классная и весёлая, но только если у вас есть друзья, которые готовы поиграть с вами в эту игру. Можно поиграть и с рандомами, но в большинстве своём они либо молчат, либо вас банят/кикают из лобби.
Shot a fake my friend Lived Hear my friend scream behind me Turn around Set fire to a mushroom thing blow up 10/10 would fever dream again
Весело побегать пару вечеров
Nuclear Nightmare is the only game where I enter a dark bunker with confidence, hear one weird sound, lose all my courage, and start running like I forgot why I even came there. One minute I’m exploring, next minute I’m screaming, hiding, and blaming my friend for making noise. The atmosphere is creepy, the tension is real, and every corner feels like a bad decision. 10/10, would panic in a hallway again.
