Permafrost

How to Play

• Everyone gets the same ice field every day. It resets at 00:00 UTC, for everyone, at once.
• Nothing is fogged — every wall you can see is real. The camera follows you, then pulls back to show the whole maze once you finish.
• Scattered around the maze are stress points. Each one cycles on its own clock: dormant and stable, then a crack starts snaking outward through the open corridors, one cell at a time — it follows a winding path through the maze, not a fixed shape, so it can wander far from where it started. Once the crack finishes forming, the ice breaks along its whole length — then it heals back to dormant.
• Step onto a cell along a crack while it's broken and you fall through — straight back to the start of this attempt, same maze, same crack timing.
• Once a stress point finishes healing, it starts cracking somewhere new — the danger map keeps reshuffling itself for the whole run, and different stress points are offset from each other.
• Cracks are never required to detour around forever — every cycle has a safe window, and the maze itself is always solvable without ever needing to cross one while it's broken.
• Find the amber exit.
• The ice field gets bigger through the week, and cracks cycle faster and stay broken longer — Monday's the easiest, Sunday's the hardest. Pick a level, Beginner through Extreme.
• Use arrow keys or swipe to move. Come back daily to build your streak.
