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.

Cool little horror game, very much worth the price. Won't say more or I'll spoil the fun.
"This reminds me of my favorite movie The Thing" - guy who has only seen The Thing.
Had a great time with this short, although bit vague, narrative. loved the slow pacing and general atmosphere. would recommend :)
An outstanding short horror game with great atmosphere and an interesting way of telling the story.
horrors beyond human comprehension lie in the unknown
В це просто варто пограти, гра просякнута хтонічним страхом самотності і невідомості.
Kinda short
For 2,50 it is okay. But I found the story rather confusing. I think I kind of understood what happened but then again I do not know. But this was definitely intentional with all the cuts between moments. Would have expected a little more from the ending but it was not remotely bad. So pretty meh but not in a very bad way. Just was not really the vibe I thought it would be.
Me guía a través de la tormenta, luego nos hospedamos en unas cabañas y leo unas notas esparcidas por dentro, me abandona en una cueva en medio de la nada con los perros del trineo sueltos y, para rematar, intenta matarme a tiros por unos pinches hongos. Quiero de lo que se fuma el creador.
It’s truly something special. It genuinely scared me
