Content warning: Body horror, suicide, murder, starvation.


Guide the Tartarus to the farthest Northern reaches of the Polar Ocean. Last Voyage of the Tartarus is an unnerving procedurally generated arctic adventure within a roguelike shell.

The story responds to your movements, and what you've seen on screen. There are 8 different endings and unique events with every run.


Inspired by:

  • Into the Odd by Chris McDowall
    • I use the city name Bastion and the concept of the Polar Ocean. I am developing an Into the Odd adventure set in the Polar Ocean, and much of the development of that adventure went into this game.
  • The Terror (2018) based on the novel by Dan Simmons
  • At the Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft

You absolutely nailed the atmosphere! You fit so much setting into a small color palette. The SFXand atmospheric background were very nice, not to mention the Lovecraftian style. Thanks for sharing this.
