The icy isolation of Zhokhov Island awaits you in Kriophobia, where the frozen remains of a forgotten Soviet military facility hold secrets that were never meant to be uncovered. You play as Anna, a young geophysicist haunted by her past, who finds herself trapped beneath layers of permafrost. Every creaking corridor and frost-covered room is a test of survival, and the cold is as much an enemy as the horrors that lurk in the shadows.
Kriophobia is a psychological survival horror experience that blends tense exploration with atmospheric storytelling. The game challenges you to navigate eerie, hand-drawn environments while managing limited resources and the biting cold. With static camera angles reminiscent of classic horror games, every corner of the bunker feels cinematic, intimate, and unnervingly alive.
Encounters with grotesque creatures force you to choose between confrontation and stealth, as combat is risky and often fatal. The game emphasizes careful decision-making, creating a constant tension where your environment and the unknown threats around you demand vigilance.
Beyond survival, Kriophobia tells a layered, symbolic story of trauma, memory, and Cold War paranoia. Anna’s personal history intertwines with the bunker's dark past, revealing secrets that are as chilling as the environment itself. A haunting, Slavic-inspired soundtrack enhances the atmosphere, amplifying the sense of dread and isolation at every turn.
For fans of slow-burning horror that prioritizes mood, narrative, and psychological tension over brute force, Kriophobia offers a uniquely immersive experience.
