EREBUS: The Northwest Passage

About the Game

EREBUS: The Northwest Passage is a survival and expedition management game set during the doomed 1845 Arctic expedition by Franklin to explore the Northwest Passage.

Take command of your ship and crew as you push deeper into the frozen Arctic in search of the legendary Northwest Passage. Create your own commander, manage limited supplies, assign officers to critical duties, survive brutal weather, and deal with increasingly dangerous events as the expedition becomes trapped far from civilization.

The Arctic is constantly changing. Calm seas can turn into violent snowstorms, thick fog can hide what lies ahead, and the ocean itself can freeze around your ship. As months and years pass, conditions become harsher and every decision becomes more important.

Crew members have their own appearances, abilities and conditions, and the consequences of your decisions can leave them injured, traumatized or dead.

Oh and there's cannibalism :)
