The game is based on the famous series of novels by G.J. Arnaud.

In a not too distant past, the Moon has exploded due to the human accumulation of nuclear waste. Its debris have shielded the Earth from the sun leading to a new ice age. 2360, Earth is now covered by ice and the average temperature has fallen to -50 degrees (Celcius). Trains have become the only mode of transportation and humanity is reduced to few communities gathered in domed cities and under the brutal dictatorship of train companies.
In this post-apocalyptic word, players are confronted to totalitarism, hostile nature and mutants.
