erebus
August 1845 — The HMS Erebus finds herself entrapped in ice whilst in pursuit of the fabled Northwest Passage.
Perhaps the thaw will come next year. Or the year after. The sea-ice is unpredictable in these cold reaches.
Until then, all that the brave men of the Franklin expedition can do is endure.

the game just wont start. Does anyone also faced with this
you may have to wait for a little while for it to load - the white bar is a loading progress bar :)
44 weeks! Loved the atmosphere and the gradual "oh god I'm running out of food and morale" spiral. The horn to indicate increased difficulty was a wonderful touch
Super fun! Love the atmosphere. Got to week 65. I know you said maybe to someone else abt there being another ending, but I have to at least know, is there any sort of cap to the weeks? Or something new happening after so long? (Aside from the usual updates)
week 65 is a new record! as of now, the game stays true to the historical account... meaning the crew is never rescued and the ship eventually succumbs to the arctic. but perhaps someday i'll patch with some alternate endings :)
Good to know! No pressure to add any extra endings, the game is still very pleasant as is. I was only curious lol
I survived 44 weeks. Simple, but effective and evocative!
The artwork is really cool!
I survived 36 weeks, is there any ending besides death lol
maybe.......
