Overview
- SEMICOLON and Decent Treatment publicly revealed THERMOCLINE as a multi-platform survival‑horror RPG that will launch free on PC via Steam this winter with console ports to follow.
- The game places players on the frozen corpse‑planet C9 CRPSE‑19 and centers on a bleak, character‑driven psychological narrative.
- Core gameplay mixes skillful turn‑based combat that has players dismantle ‘grafted monstrosities’ with survival resource systems that force players to manage fuel and temperature.
- THERMOCLINE uses hand‑drawn environments and an original score by Chilly Makes Music, and the developers have emphasized the title is 100 percent free with no planned microtransactions or user data collection.
- Console release dates remain unspecified and the team will also distribute the PC build on itch.io, a rollout that could broaden reach and test demand for a non‑monetized indie model.
