Ahoy, seadogs!
The hard work that is the service at sea inspires us every day to work even more diligently on the sails of code and to travel on the chosen course through the stormy waters of development. We know that as captains, you are already waiting to give orders and try to survive with your crew until the sun rises. Therefore, we have some information for you about the dangers that lie ahead. This might help you prepare better, for the night is dark and full of… well, terrors.
Deep Freeze

In the cold embrace of the night, warmth becomes the most important good. If the ship’s furnace isn't heating, temperatures reaching -40 degrees Celsius can turn every living creature into an icicle in the blink of an eye. Taking care of this is a matter of life and death. You set out on the journey with a coal supply for several months… which will soon run out. How will you manage your resources to avoid freezing to death?
Hunger

Resources are not just coal but, most importantly, food. Without food, the crew will perish faster than anyone can think of any plan to return. When leaving England, you took more supplies than necessary, but if you don’t find a way to properly manage the food, it will quickly run out. Unless you organize a way to obtain meat in this icy land where God has forgotten about morality...
Succumb to the madness

...in a land that is a threat itself. The surrounding darkness, emptiness, and the blowing wind that seems to start whispering after the third night. Maybe it is giving you warnings of impending danger? Perhaps the next dawn it will turn out that while you slept, something emerged from the darkness and abducted your comrades? Maybe the watch disappeared, leaving behind only frozen traces of blood?
Break the ice

Even if no one was attacked by the lurking evil at the moment, you are ravaged every minute by the cold, which penetrates not only living beings but also affects all ship devices and the ship itself. The pressing ice fights with the hull day after day, trying to break inside. If you don’t take proper care of the equipment, you might survive to see the thaw, but you will have no means to return, and the icy crevices will become your tomb.
Insubordination

The vision of eternally remaining at the pole may seem like sufficient motivation for the crew to break out of this hell, but don’t forget that your decisions affect the morale of the sailors. Is it better to rule with an iron fist, or try to win people over? Should the good of the many be more important than the good of the individual? How will you react if opposing factions form among the people? Loyalty might turn out to be worth its weight in gold.
Sanity check

However, what good is having the most loyal crew when each member is out of their mind? Frost, resource shortages, and eternal darkness are a direct path to losing one's senses. You must know today that every person has a limit beyond which their sanity breaks like a matchstick. And then, you can see firsthand that demons do not exist; they were only created by humans in their own hidden likeness...
If you are not afraid and still want to plunge into the abyss of a cold nightmare, make sure you add Terror: Endless Night to your wishlist. We are also waiting for you in the comments section, where we will answer all your pressing questions and suggestions.
See you soon in the next port.
Fair winds,
Unseen Silence
