Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to give gamers the opportunity to help us shape Winter Survival and participate in its development. While we have a solid plan on how to expand the game during Early Access, we also planned for plenty of time to react to feedback from gamers and make improvement or changes accordingly. We believe that survival games uniquely fit the concept of Early Access and gain great benefits from gamers participating in shaping the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Winter Survival is planned to spend at the very least one year in Early Access, but depending on feedback from the playerbase it might expand that time further.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will contain all the content and features added during Early Access as well as all the suggested changes and additions from the player base.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is a fully playable game where players can experience first two ACTs of Winter Survival's story mode. Apart from that, there are also two game modes available for players to try: Survival Mode and Cold Wave mode. Subsequent areas and additional mechanics will be added in regular updates planned every 8 weeks, with the first massive update to the game’s world just weeks after entering Early Access.
Winter Survival certainly isn’t one of those game where there is a bit of this and a bit of that and game is actually just at the start of its development.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We do not plan to increase the price for Winter Survival. ”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will post regular updates on the progress and development on the Steam forum and use that forum as our main way to communicate with the community. We intend to actively participate in all discussions and evaluate the improvements and suggestions gamers are going to make and give our feedback accordingly.”

About This Game

  • Three different game modes – Story, Survival, and Cold Wave

  • Story-driven survival experience crafted for new & veteran players who wish to rediscover the genre from a different perspective

  • Sanity system that challenges your gameplay and turns the difficulty curve upside down

  • Fully customizable experience – shape your own gameplay

  • A dynamic environment that evolves as you progress, constantly increasing the challenge

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.

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.

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. 


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.

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.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Winter Survival may contain content that is not appropriate for all ages. The game contains bad language in the form of the protagonist cursing. It also contains visual violence towards animals and blood (hunting wild animals for survival or getting injured).
