Why are you going to Antarctica? Who sent you? What are you looking for? What will you find?
There are dark secrets hidden deep beneath the ice, and a terrible price must be paid to know the truth.
Below the Ice is a story-driven mystery and puzzle mod with minor horror elements. There is no killing except in one optional ending.
The full version will require Source SDK Base 2013 SP that comes free with any Source game (and nothing else!)

Hello there.
I've been working on this release on and off since the original release. Due to the lack of testing there were some serious problems with the original. The first puzzle got many players stuck, something I didn't expect. That has been removed!
Detail has been added in several key areas to make them less ugly. (But that is a matter of opinion.) However, most of the mod hasn't changed at all.
Whether you are a new player or a repeat player I hope you will enjoy it. :D
Below the Ice is released!

7 years later and I look back and see just how primitive and confusing this mod really is. I'm glad some of you enjoyed it.
Awesome game! Truly a one of a kind half life mod! I made a gameplay video, it would've been a full walkthrough but I accidently clicked the "stop recording" button (whoops) before I finished it. Fortunately I managed to record the best parts of the game. Here's the footage, feel free to use it for whatever (memes and funny edits are encouraged 😉)
Awesome mod! I got all 3 endings.
That was the perfect chance to put Borealis in a mod and call it Episode Three.
Hi.
How do I solve the numbers and switches puzzle? The hint is 21...
The numbers should add up to 21 top and bottom where the levers point. There is a spoilers text file in the installation. The answer should be found in there.
This answer isn't there, only the memory sticks' locations and number jumping path are.
Also, shouldn't it work like this? Imgur.com
It seems the problem is a texture issue. The 6s on the bottom should be 9s.
I found the official answer to be Down Down Up Down Up Up.
Sorry for the confusion. :(
Done.
Thanks for helping out.
Downloaded this morning. Was a great little game. Took me a couple retries at a couple points into it.
