ICEBOUND

Take on the role of Henry, a wilderness firefighter and a member of a rescue expedition in the northern Quebec region. You and your team were meant to provide supplies and evacuate the population in an area beset by a sudden weather crisis and a subsequent rapid drop in temperature. However, you have become separated from the rest of the expedition and now you're forced to fight for your survival in an extreme environment, surrounded by hostile fauna, unknown forces and military faction determined to stop you at all costs. Utilizing the environment to your advantage becomes paramount. This might involve timing your movements with weather conditions to mask your tracks or noise. Use the natural terrain to hide your approach or retreat, employ diversionary tactics to mislead pursuers. Worst comes to worst – stand your ground and fight your way out.
