Splatoon: Frozen Echoes

by CALCIUM5975

In the frozen expanse of what was once Northern Canada, a mining and research company uncovers remnants of humanity—and possibly, something far more mysterious. The story unfolds in two parts: the first through emails, audio logs, and camera feeds from various individuals, locations, and corporations; the second through the perspectives of the characters themselves.

Diary of Colton Hayes

June 17, 1899

Something strange is happening… we tried to leave this place, but somehow we ended up right back where we started. Thought it was a fluke, so we tried again, but damn if we didn't get turned around and end up here a second time! What's worse, there ain't a single animal in sight. Sent Travers out to look for tracks, hoping to rustle up some food, but he came back empty-handed—not a track, not a critter, nothing! I don't know what's going on, but it ain't good. Maybe this is some kind of punishment for the blood we've spilled, or for what Mercer did… We need a way out of here, and fast. We can't stay in this place much longer. Whatever's keeping us here, it's like it's got a mind of its own, and I'm starting to wonder if we're being watched. If anyone finds this and we're not around, just know we tried. We tried to get away… but something's keeping us here.
