Set in 1845, Terror: Endless Night is based on real-life events. and takes you aboard a rescue ship in search of HMS “Terror” and HMS “Erebus”, Royal Navy vessels on a mission to sail under the North Pole and reach East Asia. You were chosen to lead that expedition but let your son take your place and make a name for himself. When they vanished without a trace, a series of relief expeditions commenced. As the commander of one of those, you must learn the truth about Franklin's voyage and find out what happened on the Erebus.
What will you do when the food starts running out, officers begin to mutiny, and insanity, death, and terror start spreading on your deck? What's more important, the good of many or the needs of one? How ought you to punish the poor souls who tried escaping the endless night on their own — or should you at all?
Managing dwindling resources is the least of your problems once a perpetual night descends on your crew, drawing them slowly into the clutching embrace of insanity.
Key Features:
- Manage your ship: Each crew member is a living person with their own skills, and they all have their needs that need to be taken care of but so does the ship. Assign shifts, manage your supplies, and pass laws, all to one end - survive.
- Enact new laws
- Make difficult moral choices: Trapped in ice and with limited supplies, you’ll be forced to make difficult decisions to keep your crew alive. Will you show compassion or let the shattering frost reduce human lives to a cold-hearted calculus? Will you die with dignity or feed on your comrade’s body to live another day? What will you do?
- Come face to face with horror and insanity: The harsh cold and the polar night are reasons enough for someone to break. Add hunger, pain, and seeing your crewmates perish, either from the elements or by their own hand, and the weight of your reality becomes simply unbearable. You may yet come back from this mission, but will it be with body and brain intact?
