FROSTBITE: Deadly Climate
A lone Arctic Biologist ends up getting lost in a sudden snow storm and must take refuge in an arctic research base simply called Base 75. However, the base has no power (meaning no heat) and what’s worse it is clear he is not alone in Base 75.
Frostbite: Deadly Climate is a First-Person Survival-Horror game that takes heavy inspiration from John Carpenter’s The Thing in Setting/Story with gameplay similar to Resident Evil 7. Along with a heavy focus on Atmospheric/Psychological Horror over Cheap/Mindless Jumpscares.
Taking place in an arctic setting, players must watch their body temperature as it will slowly drain throughout. As the body temperature decreases the player will notice some negative effects and will even loose health if their body temp is at 0%.
Game Features
- Exploration, Item Management, Puzzles, and Combat is the primary gameplay.
- an Area Temperature system that can be affected by the players actions and in return affects the player character’s body temperature.
- 4 Difficulty Modes (Easy, Normal, Hard, and Nightmare).
- a Resident Evil inspired Save System that requires an item to save your game.
- a Silent Hill inspired Map system that marks open/lock doors and presents your current objective.
- And much, much more.

Neat. REALLY interesting idea. Looks really nice too, graphically speaking. Damn shame that the mechanic of preserving a room's temperature isn't enough to save you from getting body temperature drop and frostbite. Only the main character could die from freezing to death in a bedroom at just below room temperature.
Couldn't get myself to finish it, sadly, because I just wasn't feeling it. But man, this free game is better than most of the other "games" on Steam. Try this one out people! Its very cool!

I'd completely forgotten about this until I played a Multiplayer game that is *extremely* similar called "Nuclear Nightmare". This game is great for being a free game. If you have the time to kill and want to play something horror-themed and Sci-Fi plus you enjoy finding little notes and easter-eggs (like you would in Resident Evil or Silent Hill, etc.) then I'd say this is a game you wouldn't want to pass up. A heads-up though, it can be slow at times in terms of your character movement.

i thoroughly enjoyed. No actual complaints. Puzzles followed a straightforward "Solve this to get access to this, new puzzle there" linear style that I actually like because I am an idiot who is bad at puzzles. Monsters weren't inherently scary in design, but were threatening enough to make up for it IMO. Love the resi style save system, loved reading all the little notes and piecing stuff together.
Graphically simple but meh, who actually cares, it's a free indie game, that's not what's important; Besides, despite simple graphics, the environments were done very well and I never once felt that it lacked some sort of detail or level building.
This was great and I plan to check out the dev's other work.

This was a fun little game. Not really scary, just a few ice monster/people in certain spots. I can admire it's simplicity while also forcing you to keeping an eye on your health, body temperature and the room temperature. It also forces you to prioritize what specific chemical to make (health, stamina or heat drink).
My only issues are the fighting mechanics, most of the hits wouldn't register. Frequently. Shouldn't take me ten times to hit a dog. There were also points where (because I've played it over and over and knew where certain ones would spawn) the people weren't there? I guess?
While I'm sure it was just a bug, I completed Nightmare mode and when I did save I made sure to fill my heat and health before saving. When I had to resume the checkpoint, both were at half. Man, that made it even worse to do.

great little short horror! my only complaint would be that enemy hit registry is a little inconsistent (they only sometimes react to getting shot) but otherwise very good
