Mountains of Madness

About

Mountains of Madness is a first-person horror game that drops you into a frigid, ancient Antarctic landscape. You explore crumbling ice tunnels and buried ruins, using a limited toolkit to carve paths and uncover secrets. The world feels dead and watching, with eerie silence broken only by distant creaks and the crunch of ice underfoot. Progression hinges on environmental puzzles and careful navigation, as the environment itself often feels like the enemy. The game leans into slow-burn tension rather than jump scares, letting the desolation and strange carvings build unease. Community feedback notes its atmospheric pacing and the unsettling sense of isolation, though some find the puzzle variety repetitive. With no multiplayer and a runtime of roughly 10-15 hours, it’s a deliberate, cerebral horror experience for players who prefer their scares creeping in through the cold.
