Description
A compelling narrative adventure by the BAFTA winning studio State of Play.
South of the Circle is a deep narrative experience of the emerging relationship between Cambridge academics Peter and Clara, set against the backdrop of the Cold War. The story focuses on promises made between career and true love, and the devastating consequences of not dealing with the past.
• Compelling and immersive narrative with a unique sense of time and place
• Resonant dialogue with a unique emotion-based mechanic
• Beautiful aesthetic and nuanced writing underlines the sweeping cinematic scope, further enhanced by actors drawn from “Bohemian Rhapsody” (Gwilym Lee), “The Woman in White” (Olivia Vinall), “The Crown” (Richard Goulding), “Game of Thrones” (Anton Lesser), “Chernobyl” (Adrian Rawlins) and “Downton Abbey” (Michael Fox).
• Rich, authentic environments and deeply researched 1960s setting
• From State of Play Games, developers of BAFTA winning Lumino City, BAFTA nominated KAMI 2 and Apple Design Award Winner INKS
“You’ll feel fear, hope, sadness, consternation, and anger as well as that warm fuzziness you get from watching two people fall in love.”
- God is a Geek

Editors’ Notes
Escape from Antarctica – and confront your past – in this gorgeously cinematic interactive story set during the Cold War.
Empowering, beautiful, compelling and quite jaw-dropping
The game speaks for itself, it’s wonderful abstract graphics and design, compelling hearththrobbing, action packed storyline is just beautiful. Just wonderful.
Excellent but only worth 3 stars!
Excellent game, beautifully crafted but disappointingly too short. The ending is quite the anti climax. I was left thinking, “ Is that it!!?” There were times when there is far too much dialogue and very little to do! Shame really because the concept had potential but potential unfulfilled!
