Frostpoint (WIP)

Frostpoint is a sci-fi exploration/survival RPG with gameplay inspired by Sunless Sea, Pathologic, and Sid Meyer's Pirates.  It is currently very unfinished and will be updated frequently.

About the Game:

In the future, the Sun suddenly vanishes from the sky, and Earth is swung out of orbit into the depths of space. While the oceans begin to freeze and the surface becomes uninhabitable, a global scientific organization develops towering generators around the world that form a heavy artificial atmosphere to trap the Earth's heat and preserve humanity. When the last generator is constructed in South America by a group of engineers, their ship is trapped and buried by a snowstorm, and the crew is put into suspended animation to survive.  

200 years later, a scientist awakes inside the ship and discovers their crew members are gone and the global generators are damaged and disabled. The scientist has only 120 days to travel the world and repair the generators before the artificial atmosphere falls and the surface freezes again.  But over the last 200 years, the world has become alien and dangerous, and every day becomes colder than the last.

This game was made in two weeks for the I Can't Write But I Want to Tell a Story Jam using Game Maker Studio 2. Unfortunately, a playable version will not be downloadable until Wednesday, 8/12/20.
