What was supposed to be a nice winter hike in the Mount Washington State Park with friends, turned into a dire situation. You are left alone to fight for your survival. With only marginal supplies you have to fight off of the cold, thirst, hunger, wildlife and your own state of mind while finding your way to an abandoned ranger station in hope to be able to call for help.

Winter Survival is a fully fledged survival game even going into Early Access, with dynamic combat, stealth, base building and its unique sanity system just to name a few. Multiple game modes and difficulties allow you to experience the game differently and tailor it to your taste.

Venture through snow-covered forests, mountains, and frozen lakes. Grapple with treacherous terrain, deadly animals, and harsh winter conditions. Find shelter, cook meals, and rest, ready to face the next day. Hope it won’t be your last…

You are not the first person to visit this area. There have been many before you. More than a century ago some even lived here. If you explore your surroundings you may find things they left behind that will still be useful to you. Explore various areas and discover their story, like a town built by people who are long gone. Force open doors, avoid traps, and make abandoned structures work again. Find personal belongings as you dive deeper into the town’s past. Will you be able to uncover its secrets?

Cold, thirst, hungerand physical as well as mental exhaustion are the five major factors you have to worry about. It doesn’t however end there.Injuriesandsicknessare other factors and then there is theweather. Spending the night in the freezing cold without any shelter is akin to a death sentence and trying to go out in asnow stormisn’t any better either. Don’t forget, weather in the mountains changes quickly and is unpredictable.

Further variety comes in with ourevent systemwhere random events can save your day unexpectedly or make the nightmare even worse. Things do not have to be that bleak or stay that way all the time. Theadaptation systemallows you to open up newsurvival skillsand strengthen yourabilities. And then there is ourunique sanity systemto make things really interesting…

The most deviant enemy in a desolate land, is one’s mind. In Winter Survival you will experience an unforgiving world where it’s hard to distinguishrealityfrommadness, due to the uniquesanity system.

In reality, your mind becomes a problem way sooner than starvation. It starts with fatigue symptoms, losing your will to continue the struggle up to imagining things and even full blown hallucinations.Fearand the stress associated with it form another layer that can influence your perception and together all these factors make for ahighly interestinganddifferentsurvival experience.

Hunt or be hunted. Use the environment to your advantage. Observe your prey, study its behaviour,make and set trapsto capture animals. Crafttorchesto scare away wolves. Makespearsto throw at prey and protect yourself from apex predators that surround the area.

Given limited resources, think twice before starting a fight. A bear is a mighty predator and going against one with a knife or even a spear might not be the brightest idea. Maybe avoiding the danger orsneakingpast a potential encounter is the smarter choice given the circumstance?

Gatherresources, learnhow to craft all sorts of useful things andbuildshelters and otherstructuresto escape everyday struggles.
Some resources are easy to find, some are only available in certain areas, others have to be gained fromhuntingand some are left behind by those before you.
