Conarium is a chilling Lovecraftian game, which follows a gripping story
involving four scientists and their endeavor to challenge what we normally consider to
be the ‘absolute’ limits of nature. Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s novella "At the
Mountains of Madness", but largely set after the original story. You, as Frank
Gilman, open your eyes inside a room filled with strange, pulsating noises. Patterns of
lights executing a Danse Macabre on the walls is presented by a queer device on the
table. Having recalled nothing other than that you’re in Upuaut, an Antarctic base
located near south pole, you find the place deserted and have a distinct feeling of
something being terribly wrong. Somehow knowing that your memories cannot guide you
enforces a strange feeling of vulnerability, a familiar yet alien sensation of being a
part of a peculiar whole… Soon you will discover that having used the device during
the expedition, you have died but then returned subtly changed, speaking of strange
memories and of strange places. You have lost something important or gained something
sinister… Explore the antarctic base, as well as dreams and visions. Study clues,
unlock secrets but avoid macabre beings at all cost.
