Castle of Lies đ°, Psychosis Disorientationâ°ïž, and much, much moređ„
Hey, survivors! âïž
Welcome to another development update for Winter Survival. As weâre slowly but surely approaching the Early Access release date (February 28th, 2024) you can expect more and more updates from our side. As promised on Monday, weâre back with the second part of the sanity system devlog. If youâve missed the first part you can freely check it out here. I highly advise you to do so, since it covers every essential details you need to know about the sanity. Without further ado, letâs jump into it!
[h2]Psychosis Disorientation â°ïž[/h2]
Wolves might be a pain in the butt, but so are the imaginary parts of the environment. Let me give you an example â Imagine that youâre running away from the pack of wolves or a bear, and suddenly you see that a rock is blocking your way back home. Obviously with wolves being right behind, the adrenaline and stress will probably significantly lower your ability to think clearly, so you might end up in a dire situation. Oh⊠I forgot to mention that sometimes you might see some collectibles that might not really be there.
[h2]Hunger Delusion đ[/h2]
Simply put â think about it as some sort of a mirage but with food. Imagine that youâre preparing yourself for a venture into the wilderness in order to search for some goodies. You double check your backpack to see if everything is in its place. After spending some time in the wild youâve realized that your character is hungry, so you immediately set up a fire and cook a meal, right? Well, what if I tell you that the food you brought all the way up here was fake. Thatâs exactly what a hunger delusion is. Next time triple check, okay?
[h2] Panic Attack đ±[/h2]
Well, I honestly donât think I need to explain it much. Just like in real life too much stress, fear, or adrenaline might lead to a sudden panic attack â the state in which youâre not thinking clearly. In the worst cases it might even lead to fainting, which is exactly what this symptom does in Winter Survival.
[h2] Castle of LiesâŠđ°[/h2]
So far weâve been talking only about the negative symptoms, but what if I tell you right now that there is also a room for some symptoms, that are tough to obtain but have some positive effects on your body? Castle of Lies is exactly one of them. I donât want to spill the beans right now â all I can say is that itâs not a symptom that youâll be able to choose. Itâll suddenly pop-up next time you go to sleep, you have to collect a certain amount of⊠Something đ€«
[h2] Stay up-to-date đ°[/h2]
So, thatâs it for todayâs development update for Winter Survival. As always, Iâm waiting for your feedback regarding the devlog itself as well as our game in the comment section down below. If you still havenât tried our demo, you still have a chance to play before the Steam Next Fest ends on February 12th, 2024. And last but not the least, if you feel like Winter Survival is your cup of tea, make sure to add the game to your wishlist, so you wonât miss the release on February 28th, 2024!
