In the game, you play as Kai, a pilot whose routine supply drop goes horribly wrong. A sudden storm shreds your plane in two, sending you hurtling into the freezing Arctic wilderness. Separated from your co-pilot, Donovan, and with only your unwanted therapy bot, Alfie, for company, you must brave the brutal cold to find your way to safety and uncover the mysteries behind the storm.

The game boasts a stellar cast led by Voice Director Julian Kwasneski and Narrative Consultant Evan Skolnick. The voice cast includes Jason Maniccia, Alejandro Saab, Dave B. Mitchell, Cia Court, and Mara Junot.
