Developer Ice Code Games, known for titles like Hard West II and Rogue Waters, has unveiled their latest project, Nightmare Frontier. This game blends tactical turn-based strategy with an extraction looter mechanic, drawing inspiration from classics like XCOM and Hunt: Showdown, infused with a chilling touch of Cthulhu. You can view the announcement trailer and explore the initial screenshots in the gallery below.

The narrative of Nightmare Frontier is set in an alternate 19th-century America, shortly after a mysterious event that reshaped the world. The boundary between reality and a horrifying unknown has blurred, compelling survivors to unravel the secrets of that fateful night and the essence of the Nightmare. The streets are now overrun by monsters known as Dreadweavers, emerging from the dark abysses of a terror dimension. These creatures personify the deepest fears of humanity. Players will assume the role of the ringleader, navigating the overwhelming terror in search of survival. Leading a team of scavengers, you'll delve deep into the city, risking everything in pursuit of valuable loot.
