Alone Against the Frost is a solo horror roleplaying adventure for one player, set against the icy wilderness of Canada’s Northwest Territories in the 1920s. Your choices shape the story—will you emerge triumphant, or succumb to the perils of the North?
Step into the shoes of Dr. L. C. Nadelmann, an ambitious anthropologist from Miskatonic University in Arkham, MA. Alongside three talented graduate students and a seasoned local guide, you embark on an expedition into the legendary North Hanninah Valley, seeking the anthropological discovery that could cement your fame—or spell disaster.
Your expedition team includes:
-
Dr. L. C. Nadelmann – A scholar obsessed with early North American prehistory, myths, and legends.
-
Bernard Ebstein – A lively New Yorker, eager for adventure before his impending marriage.
-
Sylvia Davidson – A determined Boston Brahmin, destined for academic acclaim through sheer dedication.
-
Norman Falkner – A calm, self-taught student whose steady presence reassures the group.
-
Charlie Foxtail – A cautious Tsuut’ina wilderness guide, tasked with leading the expedition safely through treacherous terrain.
The journey is anything but simple. From violent rapids to local superstitions, and from untamed wildlife to the harsh Arctic conditions, every step challenges your resolve.
Will you survive the frost? Will your companions make it back? And can you return with your reputation—and sanity—intact? The answers lie in the choices you make.
