January 18, 2023 - Fellow Traveller and Bellular Games have revealed The Pale Beyond will release on February 24 on Steam and other PC platforms. The Pale Beyond is an adventure-survival game that puts players in the shoes of an unwilling Captain, forced to navigate an inhospitable frozen wasteland while making decisions that will decide the fate of their crew.
When its sister ship failed to return from a dangerous polar expedition, a crew is assembled for a perilous rescue mission aboard The Temperance. When the Captain mysteriously disappears after the ship becomes stuck in the ice, players will be forced into Captaincy and manage the 24 crewmates (and 12 sled dogs!). Keeping the crew and sled dogs safe, fed, and warm is key. However, surviving the ice will matter little in the face of mutiny. Every vote will count, so keep the crew on your side.
Bellular Games was founded by popular YouTuber Michael Bell (BellularGaming) and Creative Director Thomas Hislop, who have received support and funding from Northern Ireland Screen and The Treasure Hunters FanClub.
