Halstrom Outpost 7
Deep Frost takes place at a failing Antarctic research station in the 1980s. Twelve named researchers are trapped there during a nine-day rotation, with extraction expected at the end of the timeline.
The Thaw
The Thaw is a parasitic intelligence capable of copying hosts. That premise creates the central uncertainty: a familiar face does not guarantee a human ally, and the player may also be questioned by the crew.
Story information without invented lore
The Codex is described as unlocking lore fragments across runs. Public material hints at earlier losses at Halstrom, but the complete history is not yet available. This archive keeps confirmed premise separate from theories until the full release provides the source material.
