Trapped in an Antarctic research base, the crew must identify and purge the alien imitation among them before escaping into the storm.

Gameplay

Move through Outpost 31, roll dice and play cards to search rooms, gather gear, and perform tests, then vote to quarantine or eliminate suspected infected while trying to complete the escape. Every choice is poisoned by paranoia, because the saboteur looks exactly like a teammate.
