Inua – A Story in Ice and Time is a narrative adventure set in the vast Canadian Arctic, following three intertwined characters across different eras. The present-day journalist Taïna investigates a mysterious disappearance, which links back to Peter, a filmmaker in the 1950s, and Simon, a sailor on the 19th-century Franklin expedition. Through shifting timelines, players uncover hidden connections and explore themes of memory, legacy and nature.
