Conversation · Ice Bear Fridge

He studies the fridge. "It's certainly an eccentric choice, but it is big enough. And cold enough, too..."

This looks like it could easily fit the corpse inside.

It's perfect -- big, with a powerful cooling system. Now if you could just plug in the fridge and get the lieutenant to help you...

It's perfect -- big, with a powerful cooling system. Now if you could just get the lieutenant to help you with the body...

"This is clearly the fridge. It looks big enough for two corpses."

"What is a giant bear-shaped fridge doing in an abandoned cellar in the first place?"

"Good question. It looks like an ice cream fridge." The lieutenant reaches for one of the wrappers. He tries to study it in the darkness.

Somewhere in the past it's summer. Five-year-old Fifette lets go of her mother's hand, change jingling in her pockets, as she hops towards the ice cream stand right across the plaza.

Shake from the sudden cold sensation.

As she makes her way to the market stall the girl starts crying: a ferocious ice bear is guarding the fridge! Its paws raised to ward off any potential customers.

Her mother rushes to soothe her, but Fifette doesn't want ice cream anymore, she just wants to go home. The ice bear stares at them as they leave the plaza. A gust of wind flies one of the wrappers right past the sobbing girl...

"So they tried to sell ice cream from this hypercarnivore?"

"I know," says the lieutenant, "what an unfortunate marketing choice."

"At least it's not running them a loss anymore, now that you've un-plugged the cable." He points at the red snaky cable running from the fridge.

"The electricity bill must be catastrophic. On the other hand, it did help us with a certain corpse situation..."

... lucky us.

Indeed. Refrigerated meat is much better for coroner's work.

The fridge sits empty before you, an overindulgent wardrobe now that the cooling systems aren't active.

The fridge buzzes with energy. The electricity bill on this thing must be catastrophic.

"What is even worse -- the bear is still costing them money, to this day..." The lieutenant points at the red snaky cable running from the fridge.

"Good question. It looks like an ice cream fridge." The lieutenant reaches for one of the wrappers. He studies it in the light.

"Bag him. Take him away, Kim." (Let the lieutenant take the body away without further examination.)

Take the note from the door.

You pocket the note -- and the little fridge magnets keeping it on the door.

You've acquired an interactable item. Investigate this item further by going to the INTERACT tab in your INVENTORY.

Tell me something, dead man.

Shoot, Loonie Roonie!

The bear's eyes are dead and empty, ice inside the fridge slowly melting... The power has been cut off.

The bear's eyes are still glowing red -- it's guarding over the freezing corpse hidden inside its belly.

The bear's eyes are still glowing red, watching over all the ice cream wrappers hidden inside its belly.

You see the looming shadow of an ice bear with a strange compartment in its belly. The door is slightly open...

Its eyes are dead, but it's still terrifying... Run before it wakes up!

The bear looks oddly realistic. Is it taxidermy?

This must be the fridge you were told about. Look inside, see if it's big enough for the corpse.

"What is this thing? It looks like a giant ice bear..."

The lieutenant doesn't answer, his eyes glued to the animal. It's dark inside its mysterious belly-compartment...

Your words echo in the empty chamber, ringing against the wet floor tiles... It's dark inside the bear's mysterious belly-compartment...

The lieutenant doesn't answer. His eyes are glued to the animal. A sharp slice of light shines out from its mysterious belly-door...

Your words echo in the empty chamber, ringing against the wet floor tiles. The bear keeps staring. A sharp slice of light shines out from its mysterious belly-door.

Back off. [Leave.]

Crack open the door...

A faint waft of cool air rolls out. You hear the sound of dripping water. This is the inside of a defrosting refrigerator.

The lieutenant takes a peek inside. His hand has found the holster of his gun.

Look inside the refrigerator.

The shelves are empty. All you see are crumpled ice cream wrappers with the brand name Revachol Ice City. A handwritten note has been attached to the door. The fridge is huge.

"Relax, Kim, it's a fridge."

"Of course. A giant, ice bear shaped fridge..." He relaxes his hand, his face bathed in the harsh light of the open fridge door.

"Just what we were looking for -- let's see what's inside."

"Of course. Just a giant, ice bear shaped fridge..." He relaxes his hand, his face bathed in the harsh light of the open fridge door.

"Let's take a look inside."

A gust of freezing cold air rushes to greet you. You hear a low grumble, as the bear regulates itself... This is the inside of a refrigerator.

This must be the giant ice bear fridge that Soona mentioned. Look inside.

You see a terrifying ice bear with a strange compartment in its belly. The door is covered in frost and the bear's eyes are glowing red.

This ice bear is a hypercarnivore. Be careful.
