This is a short low-fi text adventure set on a base in Antarctica. You play a resident whose job it is to inspect all the buildings and ensure they're not on fire. The game lasts about an hour. Look, I think if you're seeing this store page and reading this review you already understand that this is a small labour of love by a tiny team, and you're already going to be sympathetic to the fact that it's short. I'm basically here to say that I found the writing interesting and engaging, oddly scientific. Maybe the way that I'd put it is that it's more like learning what a day in the life at an Antarctic base would be. You learn about special Antarctic-approved jet fuel, and about all sorts of technical things (computers, generators, clothing, internet in Antarctica, cultural life on the base). To me this was pretty interesting. I was left wondering if someone who worked on the game had either worked in Antarctica or else had perhaps read and adapted from a first-person account.

Cool window to the life on the Antarctic station. It has the harsh, cold poetry. I would definitely be interested in longer, more detailed excursion.
Imaginaria is a short game where you explore an antarctic science station. It combines walking simulator and point & click elements, but the game side of it is light as you only have a handful of choices to make. It's more of a fun, interesting exploration of the dev's experience.
Good, but short.
Loved it! it is somewhat calming to hear people who do incredibly demanding and important jobs say things like "yeah, this shit is broken pretty much", and "the guy who operated this left, so nobody knows how it really works, but it does and nobody questions it for now". Very relatable.
Very cute and vibes-heavy little visual novel!
It's short, sweet, and relaxing. I recommend playing it in the dead of night, just like I did just now. Let the calm music fill the stillness of the air, and enjoy a brief, yet captivating, experience.
Great game, very neat insight into a life of an Antarctic researcher! I love a short game that is nicely done with heart and wit, and here it is. I'm def telling about this game to my friends tomorrow. <3
If you like black & white graphics with a lot of reading involved, go ahead and buy it.
