You signed up for this mission knowing that many have failed before. You're leading, what, the umpteenth group of scouts in search of a place to call home? Each day is the same out here — white snow and unbearable cold — but it's the grim and desperate faces of your team that keep you from sleeping. After who knows how long trekking through snow, you finally spot something in the distance, an abandoned generator. You're almost out of provisions, almost out of time. You have six days to make this ruin inhabitable before you have to turn back and report on what you've accomplished. Will this be yet another false light on the horizon, or a new beginning for your people?

Side Quest: Frostpunk provides players with engaging puzzles, an interesting storyline, and difficult decisions. The game tests your creativity, perceptiveness, and ability to think outside the box. It's time to join the expedition to ensure that we have enough resources to survive and keep the generator working!

Side Quest: Frostpunk is a new, exciting puzzle game from the authors of the Escape Tales series, set in the immersive world of Frostpunk - the globally acclaimed video game from 11 Bit Studios.

Escape Tales: The Awakening is a card game based on the escape room concept, but you're not limited by time when it comes to finishing this adventure as the game is focused on the story and your exploration of it, while engaging the puzzles within and making choices that will immerse you deeply. As for the story, here's the set-up:

Players take on the role of Sam, whose daughter has been in a coma for over two months and whose doctors still cannot explain how this happened or what caused it. According to them, everything is fine with the girl; she's healthy and shouldn't be in this condition. Sam is desperate and looks for answers everywhere he can, which leads to a weird meeting with Mark.

Mark's son was once in a similar situation, and his father was able to help wake the boy up. He has given Sam a scary-looking book and said that inside this book he will find a ritual called "The Awakening". But Mark warned Sam that he needs to prepare himself mentally since this ritual will transfer him into another dimension, where he should be able to find his daughter and understand what is the cause of this state. If Sam's lucky enough, then he will be able to wake her up as well. Sam has held onto the book for more than a week. Finally, he's ready to go into the basement and perform a ritual. Are you ready, too?
