The Pale Beyond is an adventure indie RPG and simulation game developed by Bellular Studios and published by Fellow Traveller, launched on February 24, 2023, with a file size of 4.9 GB. Players lead an expedition on "The Temperance," following the ill-fated "The Viscount" that disappeared in the icy wilderness while searching for absolute magnetic South. Set in a harsh, unforgiving polar environment, players face critical decisions that significantly impact the narrative as they navigate through the ice.
The game emphasizes resource management, morale maintenance, and survival tactics, necessitating players to keep their crew and sled dogs fed and safe to prevent mutiny. As the polar winter approaches, each decision can alter the course of the expedition, making leadership crucial even when unprepared. The immersive experience is enhanced by original music, including shanties and accordion tunes that evolve with the journey.
To support the developers, players are encouraged to purchase the game from platforms like GOG. The download includes multiple links, and installation notes are provided, including the requirement to disable antivirus during setup and run the game with admin privileges if installed on the system drive.
