From yours truly, Creator's Cosmosis!

Allure of Frostbite is a dark fantasy / survival horror story taking place in a terribly harsh world juxtaposed with ornate and vibrant culture, set in what we would recognize as the late Victorian Era. We see the world through the eyes of a young inventor, Allory Veilson, as he struggles to navigate the world with an increasingly ill mind. Some of the dangers are only imaginary, however, just as many have breached through the veil and lurk within reality.

Allory's love of his family has been tested vigorously for years, and after time, he became an entity to fill in a record rather than a person. A means of income from working long days at the factory. An asset. His father, abandoning his seemingly promising career in favor of expensive alcohol. His mother, neglecting the city she once provided relief for. His elder brother, a bitter follower of The Radial, and a shell of his former self.

After many a nights of questioning the Tomes of Radiance, Allory's father grew enraged at his son's thinking. The boy, in a fit of panic, proclaimed that The Radial illuminating the sky was no more than a simple star. With his proclaimation, the faces of his family became... unclear, impossible to see, really. His head echoed with whispers of paranoia and dread.

Allory's distrust with the authorities above him led him to violate the Golden Rule of The Church "Never deny my power, rule, or existence".

This, coupled with Allory's possible insanity, landed him in a religious insanitorium.

The goal is to free Allory and help him find the proper guidance to a better place, physically and mentally. Help him find his friends and escape the country together, or offer them to the gods as atonement. You can let Allory's mind become easier to navigate, or let it rot with madness.

Every last choice matters.
