Winter Survival News

Hi, survivors! ❄️

It's been almost three weeks from the release of Winter Survival: Prologue, and we've noticed that some of you find it hard to stay hydrated. As a result, we've come up with a new series of short guides that will help you survive harsh winter conditions.

The first episode is already available for you to watch below. Also, make sure to let us know in the comments below what do you think about such series and which topic should we cover next. Without further ado, let's jump into the video🔥

Hey, survivors!

For those of you who are still thinking whether its worth to try out the prologue, we've prepared a pre-recorded stream for your reference. Make sure to check it out, as it will give you some additional information about the prologue and the game itself.

Hey, survivors! ❄️

We’re thrilled to announce that Winter Survival: Prologue is officially out! It has been a long journey full of challenges and obstacles, but we believe that you're gonna enjoy the prologue as much as we did during the development stage.

While many of you will be playing the prologue today and in the upcoming days, we’re constantly gathering feedback from you, guys. Having said that, if you happen to encounter any bugs or glitches, or you might have any suggestion regarding some features that the game should have, feel free to let us know in the comments below, Steam forums or on our discord channel.

Along with the Winter Survival: Prologue release, we’d like to also dive a little bit deeper into one of our core mechanics in the game – sanity system🧠

[h2]What is a sanity system?🧠 [/h2]

The Sanity System is a unique feature that distinguishes Winter Survival from other survival games. In real life - people tend to be scared of wild animals and darkness. That’s the similar case in Winter Survival – you’re just a regular person, and sooner or later, you’ll realize that your mind is as important as your body.



[h2]How does the sanity system work?[/h2]

In general, whenever your mind or body suffers, you’ll see a sanity timer appearing as a circle around a debuff (i.e broken leg) or a particular need (thirst, hunger, energy or temperature). If you don’t fix the problem in time, the sanity timer will run out, affecting your brain. Eventually, your brain will be filled 100% causing you to choose a new symptom that will make the game more challenging.



Every time you choose to relive your experience, you’ll be able to do it differently. Want to survive, free from sanity? Learn to take better care of yourself. Or maybe you’re looking for a challenge? Let the madness inside then and let it rule your mind. See how far you can go before you break…



[h2]Languages 🌎[/h2]

Just before we finish, we'd like to announce that we've heard your comments and we're currently working on implementing additional languages to the game, and you should expect them coming soon. What is more, let us know in the comments if you have any particular language in mind that we should add. Lastly, if you're willing to help in the proccess of translation, make sure to hit us up on discord, and we'll se what we can do. You can find the link to our discord server at the end of this development update⬇️

Hey, survivors! ❄️

Recently, we dived a little bit into some of the shelters that you’ll encounter along your journey. First of all, we’re so grateful that you cannot wait for the prologue release, so we thought we won’t wait any longer and we have another devlog ready for you to delve into. This time, we’ll focus on the combat mechanic, as we think this might be something that many of you will enjoy. Without further ado, let’s see what we’ve got! 🔥



[h2]NEW TEASER 💥[/h2]

Before we jump into the combat itself, we’re so excited to share this news with you, fellow survivors! We’ve just prepared a brand-new trailer to give you a glimpse of what you might expect from the upcoming prologue. Check this out!

[h2]STEALTH 🤫[/h2]

Combat in Winter Survival takes a little different approach than you might know from many survival games out there. Fighting to survive it’s not an easy task, even for a veteran. In Winter Survival you’re a rookie in this field. Life would be just a little bit easier if you had any weapon that you could use. However, that’s not the case in the game. How do you survive in the wilderness, then? The answer is STEALTH.

[h2]DISTRACT[/h2]

In most cases, sneaking past the predators will be enough, but what if they’re blocking the entrance to the cave for example? Then, distraction is your best friend. Scout the terrain around you, and see if there's any objects that you can use. Maybe there is a rock nearby that you can throw somewhere, to distract the wolves for a while.

[h2]SNEAK[/h2]

Sometimes you might be stuck between a rock and hard place, and sneaking past your enemies is your only chance to survive. Every single step counts, and if you happen to make a single mistake, you’ll be punished for it.

[h2]TORCH🔥[/h2]

In some cases, you’ll end up in a dire situation, and your last chance to survive is your torch. It’ll scare away the wolves and give you a brief moment to escape. However, your resources are limited, so you have to choose wisely whether it’s worth to use it.

[h2]DEATH☠️[/h2]

Harsh winter conditions, limited resources, and predators lurking in the forest – The journey back home won’t be an easy one. Here, you’re the prey, and if you make even a small mistake, you’ll pay the price for it. The more careful you’re, the higher chances you have to survive.

[h2]STAY UP-TO-DATE[/h2]

And that’s it for today, survivors! ❄️Feel free to let us know what you think about this kind of approach to combat. We hope that you’ll enjoy it, as we’re getting closer and closer to the prologue release. Just to remind you – a free prologue will be available for you on February 6th, 2023! Last but not least, don’t forget to follow us on social media channels, so you can stay up-to-date with any news. And we can assure you – there’ll be many in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for more 🔥
