Backstories: Alone Under the Ice

A narrative, solo investigation set on Mont-Blanc where the player assumes the role of Sophie searching for her missing brother. The scenario frames a 1940s-era mystery involving a long-lost Nazi treasure mentioned in a letter found at a mountain refuge. Gameplay uses card-based, point-and-click–style interaction: panorama cards depict locations and perforated action cards represent things to do (talk, search, use objects). To act, place an action card on a panorama, flip it and read the outcome; choices change the course of the story and carry consequences.
