In the icy heart of Antarctica, where the unforgiving cold is both a setting and a foe, NEDRA is poised as a new entry in survival horror. Developed by solo developer Davit Andreasyan, the game blends the isolation of a Soviet-era research station with the cosmic dread of Lovecraftian terror.
Players step into the boots of Arthur, an explorer tasked with uncovering the mystery behind the disappearance of an entire Antarctic expedition. But the station is no ordinary ruin — it’s haunted by Frostwalkers, sinister entities that hunt by detecting body heat. Arthur’s survival hinges on a delicate balance: lowering his body temperature to near-hypothermic levels to evade these predators while ensuring he doesn’t succumb to the cold.
Drinking an iodine-alcohol mixture restores warmth but risks drawing the creatures closer. This dynamic forces players to walk a razor-thin line between safety and exposure, survival and sacrifice.
Exploration is key to survival. Scattered throughout the station are scarce resources — ammunition, tools, and vital supplies — that Arthur must scavenge to stay alive. But NEDRA offers more than pulse-pounding stealth and combat. Beneath the surface lies a haunting narrative of resilience and truth, where survival often conflicts with uncovering the station’s dark, ancient secrets.
Set against a backdrop of frostbitten desolation, NEDRA delivers a harrowing experience where every decision carries weight. As Arthur ventures deeper into this labyrinth of frozen fear, players must confront both external horrors and the harsh realities of survival.
