Be the first to experience the alluring Arctic world of POLYARIS, a single-player, first-person survival skiing game set in a post-apocalyptic landscape.
This is just the beginning, and while many features are still in the works, our main goal is to gather your feedback. We want to hear everything—both the good and the bad—so we can make this game the best it can be!
When
Now
Where
You can enroll in the closed alpha through Polyaris Discord.
For How Long

Boat mechanics (The boat will be your "mobile base" which you can customize and use to traverse through an endless Arctic world, but it needs some work before it's functional. This too will come later in an open demo.
Other enemy types and a more holistic story
A lot more features that are still in the pipeline
You might also run into some optimization issues
See you in the Arctic, survivors.
