Arctic Grave is a short horror game that doesn't rely on jumpscares and focuses instead on level design and building a heavy, sometimes melancholic atmosphere. It doesn't feature combat or resource management and prioritizes exploration, atmosphere and story.

This demo version features the actual beginning of the game. That being said, certain parts have been changed for a more comprehensive look at the mechanics.

One of many, this facility is property of AxiTrans - the largest cargo corporation in the world. Embedded into a cliff and located on a remote shore, it is rarely used yet still houses a small crew. However, communication with them was recently lost and nobody knows why.

As a staff investigator of AxiTrans, you are no stranger to weird occurences across the corporation's many branches. Your usual job is to put together a report about each crew member based on your findings - no matter the situation.

However, something about this particular case quickly proves to be special. The outpost is damaged in bizarre ways and you can't shake the feeling that there is something else here with you. Sabotaging you? It seems like one must descend deeper into this place and uncover its secrets to find out what's really happening.
