Winter Survival v25683S - early access

Winter Survival throws you into a desperate fight for survival after what was meant to be a carefree winter hike in Mount Washington State Park turns into a solo struggle against the elements. With only meager supplies at your disposal, you’ll need to battle cold, hunger, thirst, wildlife and even your own fraying sanity as you make your way toward an abandoned ranger station and a slim hope of rescue.

In Early Access, Winter Survival already offers a full suite of survival mechanics. You’ll explore snow-blanketed forests, jagged mountains and frozen lakes, scavenge supplies in long-abandoned settlements, and piece together the story of pioneers who once called this land home. Harsh winter weather is unpredictable-spend a night in the open or venture out in a storm and you may not live to regret it.

Combat and stealth go hand in hand: decide whether to set traps, craft torches to ward off wolves, fashion spears for defense or sneak past apex predators. An event system throws random challenges (or unexpected blessings) at you, while the adaptation system lets you unlock and improve essential survival skills over time.

Perhaps most unique is the sanity system. Physical exhaustion and cold are deadly, but it’s your mind that often breaks first. Watch for fatigue, fear and hallucinations as stress mounts, blurring the line between reality and nightmare.

Three distinct game modes let you tailor the experience:
- Story Mode - Uncover the past, find your friends and make it home.
- Endless Mode - Focus on building and exploration with more abundant resources.
- Cold Wave - Test yourself against ever-worsening weather in an unrelenting survival challenge.
