It's about an hour of petting dogs, listening to some dude's yapping and trying to keep your sled balanced as you travel through the snow. It's okay. 100% achievement completion boils down to a little bit of secret hunting after beating the game once. It doesn't take long and is pretty chill.

This is much more a story you take part in than it is a game. You play it for the atmosphare and it has a lot of it. If you are looking for engaging gameplay, this is not the right adress for you. The story may leave you a little confused but thats right where it wants you to be. I very much had a mountains of madness feeling from this game. So if you enjoy Lovecraft wait for the night, turn off your lights, boot up the game and enjoy!

This is always the true test That Which Gave Chase is a first-person atmospheric horror game, where the retro PSX graphics give pixelated life to Aslak Karlsen Hauglid's baleful story. You play as a nameless dog musher escorting a scientist on an expedition into the frigid wilderness of the Arctic. Along with the cold, suspicions and mistrust soon begin to creep in. The reason behind this expedition, as well as its eventual fate are both things that only time will tell. The game has an amazing story, so I will avoid giving more details about its plot now. Some of my thoughts on the game's story and specifically on the ending are written in the comments below. Feel free to read them if you have already played the game and I am more than willing to discuss about it. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3607232513 The sum of a half remembered feeling and a long forgotten dream With an atmospheric slowburn narrative, That Which Gave Chase is mostly linear, with exploration being limited but rewarding. Small tidbits of lore are available for the player to find out during various sections. While the game's progression is linear, the story is not: jumpcuts are random and frequent. They are also a source of constant uncertainty and anxiety, greatly enhancing the horror aspect of the game. As the dread builds up, the tension becomes almost unbearable. An ominous feeling gave chase with the game's start and it followed me well after the credits had rolled. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3607234646 Remember, you were so eager to chase the answers. How long will it take you to realise that the answers have been chasing you back all this time? Before the cold lulls you into sleep, try hard to listen through the noise. You might be able to faintly hear yourself failing the test, again and again. Until the fear and the doubt are gone and you have passed through the sieve. Until the chase is over.

“Hearts unyielding in the face of endless struggle.” Extremely atmospheric and mesmerizing; really think this might be one of my favorite uses of the PSX graphical style in a modern day indie game. It really just, soaks in its own dreamy, vibey aesthetic and much for the better- not a very deep game, even though its story tries to touch on some rather complex subjects, but this really works as an experimental horror piece with a great hook. That Which Gave Chase’s simplicity and set up really just speaks for itself; you’re in the snowy mountains “deep into the unforgiving wastes of the arctic.” with nothing but a sled, the 4 dogs that move it, (you can pet them!!) a rifle, a lantern, some other small hunting supplies, and a partner who may or may not be on the verge of insanity. It admiringly really stretches the simplistic set up to a really impressive degree and gets all the possible mileage out of it in its 45 minute-hour runtime. Traversing the abandoned mountains, the barren landscape, with nothing but deers and religious artifacts, and finding empty cabins feels as thrilling and tense as you can imagine- the game really utilizes sudden jump cuts (maybe a bit too much admittedly.) to boost this horror and sense of diving into insanity in a way that just clicks with the game’s loose grip on reality. It all just kind of works, especially when all the build ups finally pay off in a somewhat predictable- but very satisfying manner. Effective game in the indie horror scene, huge fan of everything it’s going for even though I do wish it was maybe a tad bit longer- That Which Gave Chase really soars in moments of slow burn horror, the fear of the unknown, and the dread of loneliness that is baked in the concept- but man, I do wish it did a little more with what it was given, still, don’t get me wrong! I really enjoyed this, it scared me! Very strong recommend from me, especially because it’s like, 5 USD lol.

When I booted That Which Gave Chase, I felt like I’d stepped into a dream logic sequence by David Lynch — a frozen, arctic haze where reality warps and nothing can be quite trusted. I got The Thing vibes from this as well, if only for the snowy landscape and all the horrific things that might come from it. You’re a sled-dog musher, guiding your dogs across the ice, carrying a scientist whose cryptic, seemingly all-knowing murmurs echo through the game. As you trudge through the endless snow and silent expanses, the world itself seems to fold around you — time skips, visual cuts, and ambient dread merging until you’re not sure whether what you saw was memory or hallucination. That creeping uncertainty, that quiet dread is what makes the journey so haunting. The plot refuses easy answers. You don’t get tidy resolutions or explicit explanations but instead fragments, whispers, and half-glimpsed horror cuts. That ambiguity makes every creaking wind, every distant howl, every frozen cabin feel filled with possibility, and compels you to fill the gaps yourself. Much of the praise seems to agree: players call it “atmospheric,” “psychological,” “surreal,” and “perfect at 45–60 minutes.” It doesn’t overstretch — it doesn’t need fancy combat or padding. It just lures you in with snow, silence, dread — and never lets go. If you crave a short, strange trip into cold isolation, where the horror is more existential than explicit — where the wind howls like ghosts and the snow conceals memories — That Which Gave Chase is a whisper in the dark you won’t want to ignore. ❄️ 8.5 / 10 — icily beautiful, quietly unsettling.
