About This Game

December 1988, Czechoslovakia. Your uncle ended up behind bars, and you are the only one who can get him out. Left alone in a freezing rural village, your only real way to make that kind of money is running an illegal still.

The Gameplay

Winter Batch is a first-person life simulator about distilling illegal alcohol and surviving a harsh rural winter. Manage your daily needs, gather sugar and yeast, fire up the still, and sell bottles to eccentric locals. Every crown counts, and a single mistake can ruin your batch or leave you freezing to death.

Key Features

• Survival Needs: Keep hunger, thirst, bladder, and stress under control in freezing sub-zero weather.

• Illegal Distillation: Mix ingredients, monitor fermentation, run your homemade still, and bottle the booze in secret.

• Village Economy: Deal with suspicious locals, do odd jobs, and sell your product to regular customers.

• Free Your Uncle: Make enough cash through bootlegging and side hustles to get him out of prison.

• Late 1980s Atmosphere: Experience the raw routine of an isolated Czechoslovak village during the socialist era.
