Get ready for a polar exploration game set in an unforgiving frozen wasteland.
Genre: Adventure,
The drawing looks nice, the music too.

But the description in these news... Could you at least put a dot at the end/after the word Adventure?
Because with this comma one could think, that at least the second half of the desciption is missing.

Wish listed for now. Although since it's coming soon, that's all you can do at this point.

Based on the preview trailer, I don't think I would call this an adventure game. It looks more like a managerial simulation of a polar expedition where the visual novel aspects are that you do need to talk to the crew.
I'm rather surprised ladies are enlisted on a sea vessel at that age of time (XIX century?). Books & movies make me believe women === bad luck at such lone sea adventures of legal or not enterprises.

There's your Problem
Books, (even history Books), and Movies (Never factual, even when set in history), don't give you any info on a fantasy game.
Nothing on the store page states this is even set on Earth.

The only part that tangentially says it might be is this section about the art style, which says nothing about the games actual setting.
Inspired by Victorian etchings and historic paintings of the time depicting the ice, each character and environment has been drawn by hand. The result is a unique art style with an expressive cast to see you through the cold and grim environment of the ice.
The actual circumstances of the in game setting seems to be left intentionally vague, and even if set on Earth, it's still a fantasy game, made as with every product intended to appeal to as broad an audience as possible.
Like it, or not the general tactic must make more Corporations more money, as the only thing corporations are "Woke" for is PROFIT.
If pandering to MAGA made them more profit, they would be "Virtue Signalling" with a MAGA Badge, instead of a Pride Flag.

I do have one additional pertinent, and relevant fact though
Bellular Studios, is the dev studio created by (and funded from, until recently signed by Fellow Traveller Publisher) the Popular You Tube Channel(s)

Bellular Warcraft (609K Subs – Started 9 Years Ago) WOW channel

Which has spawned several other channels
Bellular News (246K Subs – Started 3 Years Ago) Daily Gaming News Channel
Bellular Clips (74.9K Subs – Started 1 Years Ago) Clips of Friday Twitch Stream discussing gaming
Bellular Gaming (69K Subs – Started 7 Months Ago) Mainly FFXIV Content

Have stumbled across / had a couple videos (one of them about the HITMAN GoG release) from the Bellular News channel pop up in the recommendations in the past, and it's been just objective and mostly neutral reporting on mainly noteable things happening in the games industry, ad-free to boot (wouldn't notice anyway, thanks to AdBlock) and without having to resort to paid promotion/product placement, at least in those few videos I've seen.
They're definitely not fond of bad business practices from the likes of Ubisoft, EA, Activision-Blizzard, Square Enix, etc and will voice it accordingly, and quite expressively at that (I think they're located in Northern Ireland).

They are from Belfast, NI, to be exact,
While I often disagree with their opinions, it's mostly skewed by their mainly multiplayer experience, long term WOW Subscribers, and recently FFXIV Subscribers, that think Subs are wonderful.

I wouldn't mind so much if those high WOW/FXIV Subs gave access to all the the content, including new expansions, but they don't.

Same with Game Pass/PS Now (on PC, don't have consoles), I ignore back catalogue, if I wanted those games I bought them back when they released, or in deep sale on PC. What do they have new, 1st Party only on GP, nothing currently on PSN.

There's no guaranteed game access either, even 1st party games, can, and do roll off the service, at any moment, which is the biggest issue with GP, is it's base Game only, you have to buy DLC/Expansion, and they never go on sale to compensate for Base Game cost.

That's exactly the same issue I see with free base games on Epic, no DLC/Expansion sales can end up more expensive than buying the game here or even Steam, and I'm not going to touch on Steam's many failings.

I'm a GOG customer for one reason, Offline Installers, I get 80% of my games from GOG, the base game, with DLC/Expansions patched, and kept updated to latest hardware, and no Store Client needed (How I hate those bloatware abominations).

GOG is far from perfect, but I can get my SPGs Microtransaction Free, DRM free is a welcome bonus, but I'd take in game DRM from other stores, if it meant I coulod ditch their Store Client Bloatware.

So while their's certain aspects of Bellular Content I disagree with, they are largely consumer foccused, they talk, the talk, online, but I'll reserve judgement on the Dev Studio, until they also walk the walk in their games.
