Permafrost News

Hey Survivors!

The eternal winter has arrived, and with it comes a brutal test of endurance. We're diving into the core survival mechanics of Permafrost - the systems that shape every step of your journey through the cold, broken world.

[h3]The Cold Will Kill You[/h3]
The world is frozen solid - not just cold, but lethal.
Managing body temperature is critical. Stay exposed too long and you’ll freeze to death. Some areas, known as Cold Zones, hold rare resources but come with an extreme risk. You’ll need the right gear and timing to survive them.

[h3]Scavenge. Craft. Adapt.[/h3]
In a world stripped of comfort, everything you need must be found or made.
Scavenge ruins for pre-collapse tech, batteries, metal scraps, and fuel. Craft tools, weapons, clothing, and other essentials. Your survival depends on how well you adapt to what’s left behind.

[h3]Shelter is Survival[/h3]
Your first task is to secure shelter - not just for warmth, but to store supplies and begin building a future. Restore abandoned structures, reinforce walls, heat your base, and expand over time. Eventually, you'll be able to farm food, craft advanced gear, and offer safety to other survivors.

[h3]Your Companion in the Wasteland[/h3]
Early in your journey, you'll rescue a loyal dog companion.
This four-legged friend is more than a morale boost: it can warn you of threats, help carry items, and detect dangers before it’s too late. You’ll quickly learn to rely on your companion in the harshest conditions.

[h3]From Scrap to Firepower[/h3]
At first, you’ll rely on primitive weapons - makeshift bows, or modified tools.
But as you scavenge parts and learn old-world techniques, you’ll gain access to firearms - shotguns, rifles, and other proper weapons to deal with both wild predators and human threats.

[h3]Exploration & Risk[/h3]
The map is large, open, and unforgiving. On foot, you'll explore frozen cities, forests, and industrial ruins in search of materials, tech, and shelter.
But every step away from safety is a gamble. Time, temperature, and threats are always ticking.

[h3]Survive Together[/h3]
Permafrost supports online co-op for up to four players.
Whether you team up with friends or go solo, survival is never easy - but it’s always meaningful. Share supplies, build together, and defend your shelter from the cold and the chaos.

Greetings, survivors!

Today, we have an important update about the demo of Permafrost. Since there were made a lot of improvements to the game, including your valuable feedback from the demo, the demo is no longer representing the game's current state. In order to prevent a misleading impression of the game, we will take down the demo by the end of April.

From last Fall, where the demo was released, to now, we received a lot of encouraging feedback and gained a lot of insight. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your thoughts and suggestions you made during this period! If you still have any questions or suggestions, feel free to post them into the Steam Discussions, our Social Media channels and/or on our Discord, of course.

If you want a more recent look on Permafrost, you can still sign up for the upcoming playtest on the Steam store page. More details about that will follow.

• Over 500,000 players have downloaded the demo.
  
• The daily active player count peaked at 15,000 players.
  
• The average play time is more than 1 hour.

Greetings, survivors!

Discard those weather forecasts! Extreme cold is imminent with the upcoming playtest for Permafrost. You’re up for it? Then register for it on the Steam Store page here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2254990/Permafrost/

The demo was very well received by you, and we thank you for giving us your feedback and for playing it. But the ravages of time are also taking their toll on it, because the development of the game has progressed significantly in the meantime. So, look forward to the playtest! This also means that the demo is only available for a limited time now. Play it soon, if you have not!

We regularly get questions about other languages. The best way for you to help is to add the game to your wishlist on Steam! This helps us to see which languages have the greatest potential for being added to the list. Spread the word!

If you have any questions or thoughts to share, please let us know here, on our Discord or our social media channels!

Talk soon!

The teams from SpaceRocket Games and Toplitz Productions
