Turmoil Games is an independent Finnish game studio founded in 2008 by a diverse group of media professionals.
The Game
In the midst of the snowfields of Greenland lies Alpha Polaris™, an American oil research station. High above, the ion storm of the century is gathering, bringing about a strange intermixing of reality and night terrors. It is up to Rune Knudsen, a Norwegian biologist, to take on a desperate struggle against fear and death, and to face the primordial force lurking beyond the veiled sky.
“The heart of the game is its restrained horror setting. It allows us to explore a wide range of human themes in a realistic way: paranoia, isolation, friendship, love and so on. To us, that is the core of a good horror adventure.” -project leader Teemu Vilén.

I saw things like that in here and in other "woman problems" topics so...... Am I the only one that thinks some authorities needs to be alerted about Saner and him possibly being a rapist and/or kidnapper ?
Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!
this is interesting game.sad that the demo was short but in other hand it was good.and of course its made from finland so its gotta be good game
but anyway i might buy this game when its out.
24th of this month....
And here I was seeing "Alpha Polaris" and thinking they finally made a sequel/remake of Alpha Centauri. Crap. I should just get around to gathering a team and making it ourselves. It's been long overdue.
The developers have already stated on their website that the game's max resolution is 1280x800.
fair enough, but why can't you change it? i'd be fine with turning it down for the game.
but it automatically takes the desktop resolution.
What about making a custom resolution? That's possible in Nvidia Control panel.
If that works, you can then chose one of 2 ways of doing image scaling or simply turn scaling off. That should give you either a slightly stretched image or Vertical black bars instead of running windowed mode.

Install notes:
1. Mount or burn the DVD
2. Install the game
3. Configure your settings using Settings.exe
4. Play and support Turmoil Games!
Note: If you have trouble starting the game, launch it directly from
Alphapolaris.exe and NOT from your shortcut!
Took a few minutes to download, didn't expect it to be just 750 MB, might be a interesting game.
EDIT: Good it allows windowed mode, solves the problem with the resolution choice, a number of other settings and enhancements are also available including AA, guess it'll be a 3D title, even has a voice archive that takes about 40 MB of those 750.
EDIT: Guess I'm called Guy then, nice with some dialogue choice, odd task though.
EDIT: Ah it's Rune Knudsen, seems I discovered it accidentally by using items on myself.
(Use lighter on self might not really have been the best command but here it didn't do anything which is nice.)
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
