Press who feel bold enough to start a solitary exploration of a desolate, monumental pleasure dome bursting with mystery and secrets, can now request a digital review code from Iceberg Interactive using the contact details provided below. Full retail product review copies of Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok will become available in mid-February and can also already be requested.
The eccentric architect Baron Wittard has built something really special: a city inside a building. This monumental pleasure dome, called ‘The Utopia’, features 1000 apartments, a shopping mall, and hundreds of offices and leisure facilities. All under one roof. Its grand opening was supposed to have been two years ago. That event never happened. A chain of mysterious events has now left the Utopia abandoned and silent. People have gone missing. Electromagnetic disturbances are increasing.
These happenings all point to Wittard’s desolate Utopia. Armed with only a camera and a torch, you must journey there alone to explore its winding corridors, its secret passageways, and its gloomy halls. Local townspeople say Wittard kept a terrible secret. They speak fearfully of someone or something malevolent lurking at his city. They say it is waiting and growing in power. They say time is running out…
