permafrost protocol

frostmeld drills deep into frozen systems. we engineer cold, geological games where time moves in millennia and every surface tells a story of pressure and ice.

the borehole

founded in 2022, frostmeld operates from a geothermal station in reykjavik, with outposts in nuuk and longyearbyen. we are 16+ geologists, glaciologists, and cold-system architects who build games that feel like ice cores.

our process is patient and precise. we drill into concepts, extract pure mechanics, and freeze them into polished artifacts.
