About the game
1912. A telegraph station at the far end of the northern line, above the Arctic Circle in Norway. Your explorers walk out past the last line on the map, and you guide them with one telegram an evening. Every word costs, so you learn to say more with less. Each explorer reads your orders their own way, answers in their own voice, and remembers how you treated them. Across five chapters the station's reach grows, from the telegraph to field radio, two parties on one channel, and on to the Moon.
