"South of the Polar Circle" will tell a touching story with a multi-layered cinematic narrative experience. The main plot of "South of the Polar Circle" will intersperse back and forth between the past and the present, constantly throwing out thought-provoking questions: the consequences of life choices and the choice between true love and career. Players will play as the Cambridge scholar Phi De, who suffered a plane crash in Antarctica during the Cold War. On the way to seeking help, he will recall his past and think about how the coercion of power and personal ambitions have brought him step by step into this predicament that must be escaped. As love between PhiDe and his colleague Clara develops, he becomes aware of the weight of the promise he made. Like childhood memories, inadvertent promises will accompany us throughout our lives.
