We received a lot of feedback after the demo especially regarding the game’s difficulty. While we always planned for Winter Survival to be as challenging as it is and intend to hold that course, we also see the need to adapt to a player base that would like less of a challange.

While the Survivalist difficulty will remain unchanged, there will be significant changes to the Explorer mode in terms of balancing and difficulty to make the game more accessible.

Additionally, we are adding an adaptable mode to allow gamers to basically configure the difficulty to what they feel they can and want handle and adjust the challange to a level they feel comfortable with.

There will also be changes to #1 topic: wolves. We are doing various tweaks when it comes to their behavior as well as improvements to combat with wolves.

Changes of this kind will not happen overnight, so we decided to postpone the release of Winter Survival by 7 days to March 6th, 2024 in order to have sufficient time to properly implement these changes.

Welcome to another development update for Winter Survival. As we’re 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, we’re back with the second part of the sanity system devlog. If you’ve 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, let’s jump into it!



[h2]Psychosis Disorientation ⛰️[/h2]

Wolves might be a pain in the butt, but so are the imaginary parts of the environment. Let me give you an example – Imagine that you’re 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 🍖[/h2]

Simply put – think about it as some sort of a mirage but with food. Imagine that you’re 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 you’ve 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. That’s exactly what a hunger delusion is. Next time triple check, okay?



[h2] Panic Attack 😱[/h2]

Well, I honestly don’t 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 – the state in which you’re 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 Lies…🏰[/h2]

So far we’ve 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 don’t want to spill the beans right now – all I can say is that it’s not a symptom that you’ll be able to choose. It’ll suddenly pop-up next time you go to sleep, you have to collect a certain amount of… Something 🤫



[h2] Stay up-to-date 📰[/h2]

So, that’s it for today’s development update for Winter Survival. As always, I’m waiting for your feedback regarding the devlog itself as well as our game in the comment section down below.
