The Winter Rescue

The Winter Rescue

Survive, Rebuild, Thrive

In the Mid Twenty-First Century, an unexpected Long Winter forced humanity into a halt.

Forty years after The Winter began, you—raised in the Spaceport Columbiat—discover a mysterious temperature-encoded Message from a long-lost relative.

Amidst the growing political division and resource tension between Earth and Columbiat, you decide to return to the frozen planet.

Deep in your heart, you believe that the Message is inviting you to unveil how The Winter started, and how to revive and re-understand The Life of the World.

As you set foot in this familiar but foreign world, you will initiate humanity's final rescue plan.

This is an unprecedented rescue, and the mysteries will gradually unfold…
