About IKUMA: The Frozen Compass
IKUMA: The Frozen Compass is a coming-of-age story inspired by the Franklin expedition of 1845 and Inuit legends and can be played solo or cooperatively. Play as cabin boy Sam and his sled dog Ellie who are stranded on an uncharted island in the Arctic in 1864. There’s harsh elements and rough terrain to overcome, food to be foraged and mysteries to be uncovered, all the while, Sam is on a journey of making peace with his past and becoming himself.
The Franklin expedition set out on a mission to discover a North-West Passage that would connect Europe and Asia in 1845. Their ships, Terror and Erebus, were the best equipped expedition vessels thus far and yet never made it home. The ships and other remainders have only been discovered fairly recently and their disappearance is shrouded in mystery to this day. The game tells a fictional version of the story through a mystery Sam needs to solve on the island.
