<p>The game takes place in the frozen tundra of Greenland at Alpha Polaris, an American oil research station. At the station, a huge ion storm has been gathering, bringing about a “strange mixing of reality and night terrors”.</p>

<p><em>Alpha Polaris</em> is an authentic Arctic production as it has been developed by Turmoil Games, an indie studio situated in the Finnish Lapland. <em>Alpha Polaris </em>was influenced by a rich blend of Inuit legends, Cthulhu mythos, and a real blight polar bears still face to this day.</p>
<p><em>Alpha Polaris</em> is more character-based, however, and focuses more on environmental and character-driven horror themes.</p>
<p>According to <em>Alpha Polaris</em> project leader, Teemu Vilen, &#8220;The heart of the game is its restrained horror setting. It allows us to explore a wide range of human themes in a realistic way: paranoia, isolation, friendship, love and so on. To us, that is the core of a good horror adventure.&#8221;</p>
<p>The game was previously released back in 2011, but the Steam release features some new additions and tweaks to the original. Some of these tweaks include:</p>
<p>Expanded resolution support</p>
<p>Bug and dialogue fixes</p>
<p>And English voice acting with in-game texts available in English, Russian, German, and Polish.</p>
