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.

As a massive fan of The Terror, The Thing, and Misery I found That Which Gave Chase rolled all three into a very tense and cinematic hour long experience. This game isn't for everyone and I can respect that. It's less of a game and more of an interactive movie at best. It's slow and tense and purposefully isolates you by leaving you in the dark about what happened throughout it's short timespan. I loved the unreliable narration of it all and the ambiguous ending, I loved the atmosphere and it's story telling was very similar to Mouthwashing - I think any fans of that game could greatly enjoy this one too. For anyone afraid of horror games: There are NO JUMPSCARES in this game, accidental ones can occur but the horror of the game lies in a Lovecraftian unknown style. Definitely a game I think people should check out, since this type of artic exploration horror is vastly underutilized in general but since the game lacks gameplay for most to sink their teeth into, watching a playthrough would suffice as well and still get the story across.
A good game that makes you think about what is happening. I can sense touches of philosophy and underlying ideas here - ideas that I haven't fully uncovered yet, but I would really like to give the game another try. I finished it in about one hour. Although it's short, it left me with a very pleasant impression. It's a pity that there is no Russian language support. Nowadays, with so many AI tools available, it would be great to provide text translations into different languages, especially Russian, since the Russian-speaking community consists of many millions of people. Thanks to the developer. I hope there will be more projects in the future with the same atmosphere
Te dan dos logros por acariciar a los perretes. GOTY
Kinda short
ainda bem que nao joguei charradao de zambia.
Although it was a short Game it was really fun and i ejoyed the story.
GOOD GAME / 10
I really wanted to like this game. I love PS1 style atmospheric games so i'm pretty sure i'm the target audience, but i just didn't enjoy it. The story is confusing and the game feels like it overstays its welcome even though it lasts 1 hour. A boring experience. Bonus points for being able to pet the dogs and the pretty good shooting mechanic. 4/10
Tem um tremendo potencial, mas peca por não explorar nem um quinto que deveria. É curto demais, criminosamente curto. Os gráficos são maravilhosos, a historia prende, os personagens são intensamente cativantes mas quando está começando a ficar bom... só acaba sem mais nem menos. A gameplay é desafiadora mas não é impossível, realmente podia, e francamente devia, haver mais umas duas horas só para você se frustrar com o trenó. Eu esperava mais segredos, mais finais alternativos, mais historia... mais jogo! Só isso!
