Alpha Polaris is a third-person point-and-click adventure game developed by independent Finnish game studio Turmoil Games. The player takes control of Rune Knudsen, a Norwegian biologist who is stationed at an American oil research facility named Alpha Polaris that is located in the midst of the snowfields of Greenland. The horror themed story unfolds beneath an ion storm that brings with it a strange intermixing of reality and night terrors.
The game is mostly set within the Alpha Polaris oil research facility and its surrounding area. The isolated setting means that there are only a small number of locations to explore—such as Rune's room, the garage, and the lab—all of which become extremely familiar after a fairly short period of playtime. This also applies to the minimal cast, which includes only a handful of characters. Although at first glance these elements may seem to be negatives for an adventure game, they actually work in this game's favor by adding to the atmosphere of paranoia and isolation that the developer is so obviously striving towards.
