About

The «Vostok» scientific complex in Antarctica goes silent after discovering an anomalous structure in the ice—a mass of black ice containing a substance of extraterrestrial origin. At first, the discovery was considered a scientific breakthrough, but very soon the excitement turned to panic and fear.

Polar explorer Oleg is an experienced explorer of the Antarctic wilderness. He responded to an SOS signal to investigate the situation. He has years of expeditions, deadly routes and encounters with the cold that breaks not only the body but also the will. This brave polar explorer, who set out to face the storm, doesn't yet know what awaits him…
Alexey is a special agent for the large corporation "Novy Svet," who arrived to document the virus leak and fully neutralize its consequences. Behind his calm exterior lies a man who has seen too much to believe in happy endings. His mission: gather evidence, clean up anything that could pose a threat, and prevent the nightmare from spreading beyond the station.

Two playable characters, each with their own story. But sooner or later, these stories will intertwine.
An atmosphere where you're constantly vulnerable.
Limited inventory. Choose wisely what you bring.
Varied and challenging puzzles.
Diverse enemies with their own unique characteristics.
"The cold is not scary when the heart is warm."

Игра понравилась .Атмосфера чувствуется . Стоит своих денег. Хотелось что бы добавили персонажу нож для самообороны .Однозначно РЕКОМЕНДУЮ !
So i just completed the prologue and am running around but for those few minutes i can say the game is good looking on my steam deck and it runs pretty good. The puzzles are well thought out. And the sound of the snow storm is pretty good. But there are a few things that really annoy me. 1 i'm playing a Russian but i speak english....and the english is like: after this they better have some hot thea and chocolate for me. Come on when i think of russians i think of an Oleg, Boris or Dimitri who lives in Siberia and when there is a snow storm they are having a normal day at the office without complaining. He is a Russian (looking at his jacket) he should not be a whiney tea sipping teenager mommy i want a biscuit boy. 2 give me the options to have russian audio but english subtitles like Metro has 3 the beginning when you can scroll through the language settings you need to do a ok to scroll to the next one. The ok should only be when confirming the language and not when scrolling towards the next one. 4 FSR 3.0 support would also nice to have. 5 Steam achievements. 6 love the save system btw with the thermo can. But i hope he drinks black coffee :-) For the rest the game looks good controls are good. If the protagonist is a bit tougher and those other things i mentioned are dealt then it is a gem.
авансом ставлю палец вверх. главная проблема - оптимизация, которой нет ... ее просто нет жду финальной версии и полировки и доработки игры самое обидное что сеттинг прям в самое сердечко попал
текстурки мыльные, оптимизации практически нет, но новую локу меня даже не пустили, случилась крит ошибка. Как для инди хоррора нормис, а как для нормально проекта за такую цену - очень слабо. Комп у меня мощный, 4070 видюха, 9 ультров проц и 32гб озу. Не поставлю плохую оценку чисто из-за ГОЙДЫ ГОЙДА ЗОВ SVO ZOV СВО РОССИЯ!!!!
Jogo muito bom no estilo survival horror, me diverti bastante, tem bons sustos, boa gameplay e vale a pena jogar!
Бюджетный инди хоррор, пока сырой. Честно сказать, приятнее заново пройти хиты жанра, Резик\Сайлент, чем играть в инди. Графика средняя на максималках, анимации топорные, звезд с неба визуал не хватает, но и не режет глаз. Стандартный UE5, софтварный Люмен, указано что есть трассировка лучей, включил ее, не увидел разницы, возможно она не работает пока, ибо обычно глаз видит разницу. Dlss 4.5 + генератор кадров 160+ fps 4к, есть HDR, звук многоканал, русская озвучка. Думал написать отрицательный отзыв но большой скидке, думаю можно дать игре шанс.
The Black Ice is one of those psychological horror games that gets under your skin immediately. The atmosphere is thick, cold, and oppressive in the best way — every hallway feels like it’s hiding something, and the sound design keeps you on edge the entire time. The stealth is very unforgiving, but honestly, that’s part of what makes it work. You’re not meant to feel powerful here. You’re meant to feel hunted, fragile, and constantly one mistake away from disaster. When you pull off a perfect sneak or escape, it feels earned. The whole experience gives me The Callisto Protocol vibes — that same blend of sci‑fi dread, body‑horror tension, and cinematic presentation. As someone who loves The Callisto Protocol, this scratched that itch immediately. If you’re into atmospheric psychological horror with high‑stakes stealth and a heavy sci‑fi tone, The Black Ice is absolutely worth diving into.
Apesar de eu ser medroso com jogo de terror, eu adorei a temática e a ambientação do game. Jogo bem otimizado e pelo pouco tempo que joguei, já posso dizer que vale muito a pena. Recomendo! Confira a gameplay do jogo no meu canal do Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6t19Idjnyw
Слышал что-то о разработчика! Говорят крутые ребята :)
