IT’S GAMES LIKE THIS THAT MAKE APPLE ARCADE SO important in opening people’s eyes to things they wouldn’t normally play, unearthing some modern classics in the process. South of the Circle is such a game. Essentially a story-driven shtick that prods away at your hornet’s nest of emotions, South of the Circle revolves around Peter, a man stranded in Antarctica after a plane crash, who must save both himself and his badlyinjured pilot. As Peter battles against the odds in the barren terrain, it is his memories of his past love that keep him going, but as his condition worsens, the boundaries between reality and make-believe start to get blurred.
