Evaluation
FROSTBITE: Deadly Climate launched on July 22, 2018 as a free first-person survival horror game. Shortly after launch, the developer shipped Version 2.0 on August 28, 2018 with bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements. By September 18, 2018, the developer announced they were moving on to a new paid project, describing FROSTBITE: Deadly Climate as a finished product they were proud of. A July 2019 post confirmed they were reworking a spiritual successor in a new direction, and by December 31, 2019, the developer announced they had shifted away from larger projects entirely and released a separate small experimental game called The Possession Experiment — explicitly noting they had moved on from FROSTBITE. There have been no developer communications of any kind since December 31, 2019. The game launched as a complete, self-contained experience with no DLC, no season pass, and no roadmap for post-launch content. The developer has effectively concluded all work on FROSTBITE: Deadly Climate and has publicly moved on to other projects.

About this game
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%.
