About This Game

ANSWER THE CALL OF THE WILD

In Survive the Wild: The First Howl, you aren't a human trying to conquer the wilderness.

You are part of it.

Take on the life of a wolf and explore a stylized wilderness filled with forests, mountains, rivers, wildlife, and danger. Hunt to survive, follow your instincts, grow stronger, and carve out your place in a world where every journey into the wild can become a fight for survival.

Survive the Wild: The First Howl is currently in Early Access. Development is ongoing, with additional gameplay systems, content, wildlife, quests, progression, and world features planned as the game continues to grow.

LIVE AS A WOLF

Experience survival from an animal's perspective.

Explore the wilderness, encounter wildlife, hunt for food, and learn when to pursue prey and when a more dangerous animal may be better avoided.

The wilderness isn't simply a backdrop. It is your home, your hunting ground, and one of your greatest challenges.

SURVIVE THE WILDERNESS

Survival revolves around four core needs:

Health — Survive injuries and dangerous encounters while searching the wilderness for resources that can help you recover.

Stamina — Running, exploring, and hunting require energy. Managing your stamina is essential when pursuing prey or escaping danger.

Hunger — Hunt animals and obtain food to keep your wolf fed.

Thirst — Search the wilderness for ways to stay hydrated as you travel farther from familiar territory.

Knowing when to hunt, explore, rest, or avoid confrontation can make the difference between survival and defeat.

HUNT AND EXPLORE

Travel through a stylized natural world filled with wildlife and places to discover.

Track prey, explore forests and mountains, cross waterways, and venture into increasingly dangerous territory as you experience life through the eyes of a wolf.

Different animals present different challenges, and not every encounter will end with your wolf as the hunter.

A WORLD STILL GROWING

Survive the Wild: The First Howl is being actively developed during Early Access.

Future updates currently in development are intended to expand the wilderness and deepen the survival experience with features such as:

  • Expanded quest and objective systems

  • Additional collectible resources

  • Animal Bone trading and merchant systems

  • Special Totems and progression collectibles

  • Specialized Claws and additional wolf progression

  • More wildlife and hunting encounters

  • Unique and legendary animal encounters

  • Additional locations and exploration content

  • Expanded survival and progression systems

  • Further light-fantasy elements woven into the world

These systems represent our current development direction and may evolve as development continues.

THE WILDERNESS WILL CHANGE

Early Access gives us the opportunity to continue building upon the foundation of the game while expanding its world, systems, and content.

As development progresses, the wilderness will become richer, more dangerous, and more rewarding to explore.

New creatures may appear. New places may be discovered. New challenges will test your ability to survive.

And beneath the natural beauty of the wilderness, hints of something more unusual are beginning to emerge.

A STYLIZED WILDERNESS

Survive the Wild: The First Howl combines wolf survival gameplay with a colorful stylized visual direction and touches of light fantasy.

Explore forests, mountains, waterways, and wilderness environments while experiencing survival from a perspective rarely explored in the genre.

The wilderness is beautiful.

The wilderness is dangerous.

And your first howl is only the beginning.
