About This Game
Single Player Survival Mode (Alpha) 
You must find a way to survive in an extremely hostile winter environment, you will not be alone, 4 loyal dogs and a sled will be there to help you move faster around the terrain. Scavenge for supplies, take care of your needs and the needs of your dogs, hunt or be hunted. A new glacial period has begun... will you adapt or die? 

This is a perma-death game, once you die you have to start over and your save file is deleted. 

FEATURES: 

-Dog sled to make moving around the extensive map easier. 
-Dogs are not inmortal, you must feed them, manage their energy, you even get the chance to name them every time you start a new game. 
-Use your dogs as hunting companions. 
-Huge map filled with interesting locations to explore and safe houses to loot. 
-Well balanced survival mechanics inspired by the real needs of the human body. These include: 
-Hunger 
-Thirst 
-Temperature 
-Weight management (inventory) 
-A day/night cycle that affects the temperature and other factors in the world. 
-A diverse wildlife to hunt or run from, including bears, wolves and rabbits. 
-3 different hunting tools (Rifle, crossbow and axe) 
-A simple yet effective looting system. 
-Easy and simple inventoy management menu 
-Friendly UI 
-A functional saving system. 



My main focus on this state of the game is to work and refine the basic survival mechanics. To add and test different gameplay ideas I have. And obviously to fix anything that needs to be fixed (bugs, glitches, balance issues). 


Planned Features: 
-NPC survivors both hostile and neutral (coming very soon) 

]Co-op survival (BETA ...coming in 6 months) [/b] 
Survive along your friends! (4 players max) These are the two basic rules of this game-mode


Things you should know before buying the game: 
-The map is far from complete 
-Currently there is only one save slot 
-The dogs on the sled have animation problems when attacked while running 
-Animal AI needs a lot of work 
-The game needs a lot of work in the sound area, many sounds are still missing. 
-The game needs a drastic balancing, right now I feel it is too easy 
- Loot spawn is not yet completely random, the only loot that is randomly generated is the one you get from cars 
-The game needs some serious optimization 
-Changing the graphics settings can crash (now I have not experienced this problem, but a youtuber reported to be having problems whenever he changes the quality of the graphics) 
-the dog sled physics have some issues
