SHIRASE
A downloadable game for Windows
"I can't blame people for thinking that there's something going on in Antarctica. No sane person would pump so much money and work into keeping a place like this 'pristine'. You'd have to be possessed to care this much about preserving this place..."
After a group of Japanese expeditioners go missing during a trip to Antarctica's elevated interior, disgraced homicide detective Jade Sullivan is sent to investigate. Finding herself on the coldest (and most overrated) place on Earth, what starts out as a simple rescue mission soon becomes her worst nightmare.
Fight against nightmarish creatures. Solve intricate puzzles. Confront demons from Jade's past. Uncover Antarctica's darkest secret as you try to find a way out of the nightmare.
The truth about the world's most mysterious continent shall be revealed.
