About This Game

Nine Winters is a survival game set in a wintry city roamed by the infected. Search its ruined streets for food, parts, and furniture, then bring your finds home to repair and furnish an old house. Every supply run helps you build a life that can last through the seasons.

Search the Ruined City

Explore ruined buildings and alleys for food, parts, abandoned furniture, and collectibles. Day and night change in length, and the time of day affects the dangers and conditions you face. Watch for light and listen to the sounds around you as you decide whether to search a little further or head home.

Stand and Fight, or Slip Through the Dark

You can take up a weapon when you encounter the infected, but fighting is optional. Slip past threats under cover of darkness, bring back the supplies you need, and prepare for another day by growing crops and cooking. Avoiding fights and tending to daily life can keep you going, too.

Make a Worn-Out Shelter Your Home

Once safely home, light the stove to stave off the cold, repair worn-out equipment, and grow crops to cook warm meals. As you arrange chairs, tables, and lamps brought back from outside wherever you like, a bleak shelter gradually transforms into a home filled with things you cherish.

Nine Winters with a Small Companion

Let in the stray cat that appears outside your door and spend the winter together. Follow crackling radio broadcasts and scattered records across the city while filling each day with the items you hold dear. Season after season, live through nine winters.
