Set in the Arctic North, Arctic Awakening is a story of survival, friendship, and the devastating impacts of climate change.

It was supposed to be routine. A supply drop to an Alaskan town, auto-pilot on, guard down. You and Donovan were already planning post mission drinks when it happened.

The storm.

Half the plane disappeared in a flash. Donovan was gone, lost to the howling tempest. Waking from the crash you find yourself alone, trapped in a frozen wilderness, your only companions a court-mandated therapy bot and temperatures that can cut a man to shreds. Hope for survival lies in finding your friend and maybe a way home.

You are Kai, a pilot without a plane lost in the wilderness of the far north. You’ll need your wits about you to brave the elements, find your co-pilot and get the hell out of Dodge. Along the way, you might just discover what it was that cut your plane clean in two... and what it is making those noises after dark.

Shedding light on the game’s mysteries for the first time, the trailer delivered a thrilling, heart-racing tease of the dark threats looming over Alaska in 2062.

A catastrophe in the sky, a missing co-pilot, a court-mandated therapy bot, and the lethal cold of who-knows-where Alaska await you when Arctic Awakening launches in 2023.Step into the shoes of Kai, a pilot with half a plane, stranded in the blizzard-beaten landscapes when a routine mission goes awry. Navigate the frozen wilderness to reunite with your lost co-pilot and find a way back home.

“Our goal with the story of Arctic Awakening has been to bring the drama and depth that TV and film do so well to a video game. We’re big fans of sci-fi and mystery, but we also wanted to tell a human story about friendship and its impact on mental health.”, said GoldFire Studios Founder, James Simpson.
