Your brother has vanished on Mont-Blanc, leaving behind a mysterious letter linking his research to a legendary treasure lost since the 1940s. Backstories: Alone Under the Ice is a cooperative choose-your-own-adventure board game that blends exploration and investigation with narrative discovery into a tense alpine mystery where every decision can change the story.
 
Take on the role of Sophie as you follow Jean’s trail through the frozen mountains. Explore remote locations, uncover hidden evidence, speak with characters, search your surroundings and use the objects you discover to piece together what happened. Your journey unfolds through a clever card system inspired by point-and-click adventure games, giving you the freedom to investigate the environment in your own way.
 
Panorama cards reveal the world around you, while perforated Action cards let you interact with specific locations. Place an Action card over the back of a Panorama, choose your approach, then turn it over to discover the consequence. A conversation could reveal a vital clue, a search might uncover something unexpected, or a risky decision could send the investigation in a completely new direction.
 
The choices you make have lasting consequences, creating a personalised adventure that can unfold differently from one playthrough to another. As you uncover more about Jean’s disappearance plus the mysterious Amber Chamber, the line between historical legend and present-day danger begins to blur.
 
With immersive storytelling, cooperative deduction along with exploration, Backstories: Alone Under the Ice offers an atmospheric adventure game for players who enjoy mysteries, narrative puzzles as well as choose-your-own-adventure experiences.
