South of the Circle is an emotionally charged narrative experience with a cinematic story that unfolds on multiple levels. The main line of the plot questions the consequences of the choices, between career and true love, moving between present and past. You play as Peter, a Cambridge scholar who finds himself in Antarctica during the Cold War after a makeshift landing. As he goes in search of help we will also discover his past, which will reveal how the pressures and aspirations have led him into this tragic situation from which he must escape. A love story will be born between him and his colleague Clara and Peter will discover the importance of the promises made. Like childhood memories, there are promises that never leave us.
