About
A scientist, seeking to return to the expedition he had to abandon, hires a sled dog musher to bring him on the last leg of his journey.
That Which Gave Chase is an experimental, narrative-driven dog sledding horror game set in the vast, frozen wastes of the arctic. Playing as a sled dog musher, you must maneuver your dogs through treacherous terrain, guided by a stranger who promises great reward should you both arrive at your destination unharmed.
Playtime: Around 45-60 minutes.
Features:
First-person, physics-based dog sledding. Plan your route and keep your sled from tipping over as you venture through challenging terrain, ranging from linear paths to more open-ended yet contained spaces.
A mix of adventure and light horror elements, with a linear walking sim-like structure. This game is story-focused and somewhat text heavy, with an emphasis on mood and atmosphere.
Experience a disjointed narrative utilizing sudden cuts and a constant unnerving atmosphere. Retrace the steps of an arctic expedition as you venture further and further into the grey.
An average playthrough of That Which Gave Chase will take around 45-60 minutes. Keep your eyes open and learn to read the strange place you find yourself in, and you may find there is more to uncover.

[h3][6.5/10][/h3] То є цікавий хоч і невеликий арт-проєкт, який має свій шарм та унікальність, але залишає якесь бридке відчуття неблагополучності після проходження. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3770326579 Незважаючи на всю простоту - має непогану режисуру, але мінімум геймплею та наративу, який більше нагадує сон, ніж реальність.
This is much more a story you take part in than it is a game. You play it for the atmosphare and it has a lot of it. If you are looking for engaging gameplay, this is not the right adress for you. The story may leave you a little confused but thats right where it wants you to be. I very much had a mountains of madness feeling from this game. So if you enjoy Lovecraft wait for the night, turn off your lights, boot up the game and enjoy!

It's about an hour of petting dogs, listening to some dude's yapping and trying to keep your sled balanced as you travel through the snow. It's okay. 100% achievement completion boils down to a little bit of secret hunting after beating the game once. It doesn't take long and is pretty chill.
Really fun experience, the snow really plays with your eyes and makes you question every shape you see, you wanna turn around and look behind your shoulder but you also don't. Short and sweet, 10/10 for a nice spooky evening
氛围挺不错的游戏,接近结尾的设计很有感觉 这是一个二人四狗的故事,但谁在乎这故事讲了什么?狗狗可爱就行😊
Has Paratopic and Cryostasis vibes, so if you like those games you will probably like this one. Controlling the sled is really fun, go pet the dogs RIGHT NOW
Enjoyed it
Interesting fun short horror game, story was confusing but I really loved how it was messing with my head making me feel like I was going crazy. 7/10!
Probably one of my favorite indie horror games ever, hard to compare to others. Very cinematic, slow-burn horror. It's a subtle and well thought out piece of media, so original and well written. This type of horror I've seen executed so well few times. It's one that you have to experience yourself. I'd put it up there with other games such as Mouthwashing, in the way it's storytelling is very original, but like mentioned, very hard to compare to others, and to be clear this game's very short but I found myself playing it multiple times to try different things and get 100% achievements. This is a gem you must play if you're into indie horror.
I thought sticking it out would be a good move to learn the story, but even after completion it is an empty game with no gameplay to it in the longrun. Practically plays itself with how the sled movement works, everything is awfully paced with tons of random time skips with no transitions whatsoever (surprise, it's night in the middle of a conversation, again), there is practically no actual gameplay to it at all- calling this game a horror game, even psychological horror, is just wrong. You stand on a sled for an hour, see caribou act weird, then shoot a guy after seeing someone who is dead. Real shocker, shivering my timbers right now.
