Lore
In 1971, scientists at the Norwegian University discovered an asteroid. Initially expected to pass Earth safely, miscalculations led to a catastrophic impact in the East China Sea. Massive earthquakes, tsunamis reaching 10 km high, and global devastation followed.
A dust-filled sky blocked sunlight, leading to the mass extinction of plants and animals. Earth’s climate drastically shifted, with the equator experiencing summer temperatures of -20°C by 1980.
By 1983, survivors attempted to establish settlements, leading to food shortages, disease outbreaks, and civil unrest. The last known major settlement collapsed in 1987. By 1989, Earth’s population was estimated between 7,000 and 12,000.
In 1996, a volcanic site on the Finland-Sweden border provided warmth for a small settlement, Saint Alice. As temperatures dropped, survivors constructed a massive mobile ship—Steinfish—to search for a new place to live.
Now, in 2007, it is time to begin our journey.
Description
Frozen Ship is a first-person narrative survival adventure merging base-building, crafting, and economic strategy.
Lead an expedition across the frozen wastelands in search of a habitable refuge. With a crew of 20 and the powerful Steinfish ship, every choice determines survival.

Changing World
Every new game is unique, with a world built from small fragments, ensuring a fresh experience each time. The storyline remains intact, but in-game events will differ, adding unexpected twists.
Events
Dynamic events shape the experience. Some may add intrigue, while others pose devastating challenges. Hidden caches and unexpected new recruits can mean the difference between survival and extinction.
Management
As the captain of a moving city, you oversee all operations—constructing buildings, crafting tools, researching technology, and managing morale. Every decision affects the fate of your crew.
Crew
Assign crew members to essential tasks like exploration, construction, cooking, and crafting. But be warned—mistakes in this unforgiving world come at a high cost.
