Choose Your Own Playstyle

Winter Survival blends classic survival mechanics with psychological tension and narrative mystery. In Story Mode, uncover the story of Danny – a rookie survivalist whose only desire is to come back home. Learn basic and advanced mechanics of our survival approach and take responsibility for Danny’s future.

Forge your own path in a sandbox-style Survival Mode, free of narrative constraints. Customize the gameplay the way you like, choose from different starting scenarios, and shape your own survival adventure.

Or try Cold Wave Mode – a quick hop-in and hop-out survival experience where death is always a step behind. Survive as long as you can, gather as many gold bars as possible, and in the end, compare your score with other survivalists. Every run brings invaluable knowledge and better starting gear, potentially leading to a higher score.

The Mind is Your Main Enemy

Sanity is your most fragile resource. As hunger bites, isolation deepens, and predators stalk the night, your grip on reality begins to slip as your trauma meter increases.

Hallucinations, panic attacks, and even delusional predators become as dangerous as wolves or frostbite. And this is only a glimpse of the symptoms that you’ll have to carefully pick from.

Adapt to the Wilderness as it Adapts to You

Craft tools, build shelter, and explore the vast, living world of Winter Survival. But remember — you are the outsider here. Adapt to the wild, expect the unexpected, and watch as nature reacts to your every move.

Survive By Any Means

With a vast open world at your disposal, explore frostbitten forests, humid marshes, abandoned settlements, and shadowed caves where silence screams.

Move stealthily to avoid danger, use the terrain to outsmart predators, or face them in direct combat.

Master the Art of Survival

Winter Survival introduces you to the basics and advanced mechanics of survival, but with our own twist.

Looking for supplies or food? Scavenge the area that surrounds you or choose a more dangerous approach and try to steal it from wolves.

Freezing to death? Lighting up the fire might be your true salvation. It will provide you with warmth and scare away wolves, but it might attract other predators – especially when cooking out in the wild.

Want to hunt that deer which stalks the area? Great, but act quickly to secure that tasty meal before other far more dangerous creatures lay their claws on it.
