Released 2026-09-10. 4 updates since release, the newest 2026-09-11.
Earlier update: The Hold Descent (2026-09-11)
- Two mooring brakes now control the ship's descent into the hold—find the yellow handwheels and release them both to proceed.
- The guidance system directs you through the mooring room with live distance tracking and bilingual navigation (English and Russian).
- Each brake has a visual status indicator that changes from amber to green when released, and the handwheel physically rotates as you activate it.
Earlier update: Offline Expedition (2026-09-10)
- Download the full campaign as a single HTML file and play completely offline with no internet required.
- English language support added alongside the original Russian — choose your language on the menu.
- All seven chapters of the Borealis expedition are now playable in a standalone local version with full audio, models, and save data.
Earlier update: The Campaign Expands (2026-09-10)
- Six new arctic chapters unfold across a doomed ship, reactor core, dimensional rift, and industrial foundry—each with distinct atmosphere and hazards.
- Navigate moored Borealis vessel compartments, defend pumping systems, breach containment, and face reality-warping anomalies while escorting cargo through collapsing corridors.
- Atmospheric conditions shift dramatically across each location: frozen ship holds give way to quantum reactor glow, then rift distortion, foundry heat, and final extraction under siege.
What players say
@flickaboo · 2026-09-18 · played 8 min: “I really liked the movement and aiming animations. Everything felt smooth and responsive. The main thing I struggled with was locating the Guardian and figuring out where I needed to go to transmit the archive. A clearer indicator or direction for the main objective would make the experience easier to follow. 👍”
@alongzera · 2026-09-13 · played 21 min: “Nice map additions and some noticebable updates as well. Would love to get some animations when enemy bots attack you and not just glowing when attacking.”
@sunraku · 2026-09-11 · played 27 min: “Whoooa the is now available in English. So cool! Tried it out and so smooth. I just have a problem with the expedition. I am trying to take the power cell but I can take it. As I click Esc, I notice saw the pattern to get through. Do I have to do something before taking the power cell?”
@lego · 2026-09-10 · played 22 min: “i haven't played any Half-Life games before, so i'm curious to give this one a try, but i'm stuck at chapter 2: releasing both moor brakes. i don't see them anywhere in this area”
