Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

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?

“Join us in shaping Permafrost into an unforgettable experience! By jumping in early, you’ll directly influence the game’s evolution with your feedback. We’ve built a solid foundation packed with content, but your ideas will help us polish mechanics, expand the world, and deliver a game that truly resonates with players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We don’t know yet. The idea is to stay in Early Access for at least 12 months and use this time to add more biomes, quests, mechanics, quality of life features and technical optimization. Your feedback will shape the game!”

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

“The basic premise of the game will stay the same, but we want to expand the game world with several new biomes, quests, NPCs, enemies, equipment and vehicles.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Most planned core features of the game have been implemented and we already offer various biomes, hundreds of items, building blueprints and crafting recipes. The starting point of our narrative with plenty of side quests as well as cooperative multiplayer for up to 4 players are fully implemented and functional.”

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

“It is very likely that the price will be increased over the course of the Early Access period leading up to a full 1.0 release. The price we are asking will always fairly reflect the content included and lower starting prices are a token of appreciation for your involvement during Early Access phase.”

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

“Our Discord server will be the primary communications hub for our community and you will be welcome to suggest new features, provide feedback and get in touch with us developers directly.”

About This Game

Survive Beneath The Shattered Moon

The moon shattered — and the world froze. Civilization lies buried beneath years of ice. Now it’s your turn to rise from the snow, scavenge what’s left and forge your life in the cold. Get ready to survive in a beautiful but brutal open-world survival game set on a frozen post-apocalyptic Earth, where every step could be your last.

Survive The Endless Winter

Survive the cataclysm that froze Earth. Explore a vast open-world buried in ice and battle extreme weather, hunger and exhaustion in a world where the cold itself is your deadliest enemy.

Craft, Repair And Restore Technology

Gather scarce resources, craft vital tools and build shelters or massive bases to withstand blizzards and the relentless cold that devours the world.

Co-op And Solo Play

Play solo or in online co-op (with up to 4 survivors) to explore a vast open-world survival landscape. Discover, orientate and survive together, forging bonds that can outlast the storm.

A Story of Survival and Hope

Step beyond the last safe walls - into the unforgiving white hell. Follow the faint signal of a friend long thought lost, through ice, storm and silence. Out there in the endless cold lies more than survival - it’s where the last connection to what you’ve lost still waits.

Face Environmental Threats

Venture into frozen territories that will push your endurance and survival skills to the limit. Explore cold zones, uncover valuable resources as well as rare loot and restore abandoned structures.

Your Dog Companion

A rescued dog becomes your partner and early-warning system. With sharp senses and unwavering loyalty, your canine companion helps detect danger and carries part of your load and sniffs for loot.

Encounter Various Landscapes

Traverse abandoned cities, buried forests, caves or camps filled with secrets and salvage. By accessing lost technology you will understand the circumstances and uncover the mysteries of this world.

Cooperate Or Compete

Encounter survivors, raiders and rival factions struggling to survive the frozen apocalypse. Trade or fight for resources, territory, and the last remnants of civilization.
