Development
[edit]A beta for the German dub of the game was released in April 2001.[1]
Plot
[edit]Set in 1926, the player is a pilot who is tasked with finding a famous scientist who disappeared while at the North Pole.
Gameplay
[edit]Gameplay follows that of a traditional point-and-click adventure title. The player must explore the environment to acquire items, and use them to complete puzzles and advance the story.
Reception
[edit]Chris Kellner of DTP Entertainment, which handled the game's German localization, reported its lifetime sales between 10,000 and 50,000 copies in the region.[2]
Comrad of Absolute Games described the game as a classic that should be a staple in a gamer's collection.[3] Gry reviewer Michael Zacharzewski said the game made an important statement to the world that Sweden has a thriving game development industry, something that may have been in question at the time.[4] Thorsten Wiesner of German site Golem thought the game had a good story with a lot of wasted potential.[5] Game Guru praised its soundscape and music.[6] PC Player thought the game design was unimaginative and the puzzles were hollow.[1]
