Permafrost

“Visions of his close friend Angelo dead and the rest of his hometown destroyed haunt Milan in his new life. In the bar stationed east of Eden, where the survivors retreated, curious adventurers nag Milan into telling them stories. He decides to tell those of his childhood, trying to fight off the envy he felt so long ago. Permafrost is available to play on both PC and mobile.”
