What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“In A Bleak Mid Winter is an ambitious project meant to immerse and to be the fuel to achievement of dream games, and Early Access allows me to shape the game together with a community. The world, combat, and atmosphere are already functional and stable, but I want to give players a chance to experience the game early, provide feedback, and help guide the direction of future updates.

My goal is to deliver a polished core experience from day one while growing the game step by step adding new maps, enemy types, and features as development progresses. By joining us in Early Access, you’re not just playing the game; you’re becoming part of its creation.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6+ Months”

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

“The Early Access version of In A Bleak Mid Winter will focus on delivering a stable, polished core experience on a trench warfare with enemies, and more systems fully playable.

What I plan to achieve for a fully released version is a full story mode with other additional modes, and overall improvements on gameplay.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, Bleak is fully playable in its current form, As a singleplayer third person shooter you will experience harsh combat against enemy AI, with multiple levels mostly in muddy trenches of enemy controlled battlefields, you will use only what you can to survive, like your rifle or enemy rifles, grenades and tactical decisions, find loot in bunkers for heals and ammunition.
Each level will have their own experiences to give, with scary close encounters like enemy artillery or fpv drones.

Each level will have their mission to accomplish, whether it is to eliminate enemy forces or to escort & protect injured comrades to safety. ”

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

“I plan to raise the price as new content and features come to Early Access.”

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

“I've created a TikTok account, Patreon page, and a Discord server where I will be posting countless of updates, news and announcements, these can be found on the links provided.

About This Game

SURVIVE A BLEAK WARZONE

Bleak is a tactical war survival experience where caution is everything. Navigate frozen muddy trenches, artillery zones, and frontlines where enemies react instantly and mistakes are punished without mercy.

FOG IS YOUR GREATEST THREAT

Visibility is limited. Shapes move in the mist. Enemies can appear without warning. You must decide when to hide, when to move, and when to strike—hesitation and recklessness are equally deadly.

UNFORGIVING COMBAT

Enemies shoot on sight and do not hesitate. Gunfire is loud, lethal, and final. Weapons feel heavy, deaths are sudden, and fallen enemies leave their gear behind for you to scavenge.

DYNAMIC BATTLEFIELDS

You are not alone on the battlefield. AI squads move, fight, and clash independently. Battles unfold whether you are present or not, creating unpredictable and emergent encounters.

FEATURES

  • Tactical, high-lethality combat

  • Dense fog and bleak atmospheric cinematic environments

  • Intelligent, aggressive enemy AI
