New Character: The Doctor!

The Doctor comes to our aid! Tending to the illnesses and injuries of the crew makes the Doctor vital to the success of the expedition. But while in the Arctic, he senses a new illness - of one's mind and sanity.

Starting Equipment

The Doctor spawns with a meat cleaver, syringe, and laudanum.

New Perk

While the doctor carries a patient, the patient takes less damage heals in beds faster.

New Weapon System

The Armory has you covered with four almighty muskets. This locked vault is stacked with weapons for you to access in dire situations!

A six-dialed lock stands between your crew and these weapons. Those less acquainted with guns must learn quickly, as the Arctic becomes more and more deadly.

Scattered throughout the map in various containers lie eight codes, of which you need six to unlock the armory. You may share the same code as another crew member - Thrall or Explorer.

But be careful not to misplace such power. A musket in the hands of a Thrall could be a grave mistake...

New AI Model

Arctic Hare

The new Arctic Hare hops about in the snow quite happily. You would never hurt them, would you?

Achievements Added

Achievements have arrived! We ought to reward you properly for your brave endeavors! Wear these badges with pride.

More Languages Added

Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Russian are now available.

Update Four is now live! Adventure bravely on your expeditions, and join us in the Discord!
