The Story of IKUMA: The Frozen Compass
IKUMA: The Frozen Compass is described as a “coming of age story” set in 1864. A ship crew member named Sam and his loyal dog Ellie are stranded on an uncharted Arctic island. Players will witness this couple’s efforts to fish, gather food, and fight against harsh weather conditions to survive. However, the game is not just about survival; Sam and Ellie will uncover a dark secret while following the traces of a lost expedition team on the island.
The game’s story includes not only physical challenges, but also an emotional journey. Mooneye Studios states that players will witness the developing relationship between both Sam and Ellie during the game. One of the most striking aspects of the trailer was the game’s impressive visual presentation. The fineness of the snow details and the realism of the environments were a great surprise to those who watched the trailer. Mooneye Studios states that it has been working for years to ensure that players experience a realistic Arctic atmosphere.
The environmental hazards in the game are not just visual. While increasing radiation at night forces players to be more careful, elements such as gravity-defying sliding rocks and reality-warping anomalies make the adventure more exciting. Mooneye Studios CEO Tobias Graff stated that they have been working on IKUMA: The Frozen Compass in secret for five years and are excited to finally announce this project. The game is available to wishlist on Steam.
