What Polyaris is

Polyaris is an unreleased indie game in development at Magic Pie Games, currently scheduled for 31 December 2026. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on Unreal Engine 5.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The main character is an engineer working in a remote northern outpost, living somewhere in the far north on the border of Norway and Russia. The game begins with the onset of a nuclear war. Since the protagonist is in the distant north, he is not directly affected, but he loses contact with the outside world.
