Ad Extremum — a survival adventure about a sailor seeking escape from icy death in a wooden boat.
Screenshots and gameplay footage showcase a game world depicting a desperate struggle against inevitable death.
The boat is a small fortress, saving the sailor from the Arctic environment: relentless waters, wild animals, harsh weather, and cold. As long as the lamp is fueled with grease, one can warm one’s hands.
Paddles and harpoons help defend against wild beasts and pry open supply chests and barrels found among the shipwreck debris.
Masses of ice hold the sailor hostage—labyrinthine tors lead him relentlessly into the heart of the frozen wasteland, and the burning lamp forces him to move constantly forward in search of a few more drops of fuel.
With his resistance, the sailor attracts the attention of the northern spirit, Nøkke—a seal-girl. She is willing to lead him to the shore in exchange for one single request.
The further out into the ice, the less provisions there are. Soon there will be none left at all.
Where does the mind wander when the body is on the brink of death?
