Reflection

“Cold Trust was our first real dive into AAA development - working on a vertical slice meant we were touching the toes of professional production pipelines. The polar station setting created an intense atmospheric pressure that carried through every gameplay moment: isolated scientists, rising tensions, darkness closing in. It wasn’t just about building mechanics; it was about crafting an experience where the environment itself felt like a character.”
