A quiet, isolating struggle to survive in a vast, snowy wilderness where every step feels both peaceful and precarious.

What players say
Players praise the cold survival atmosphere and crafting, but warn the game has been in early access for years with development slowing, and many feel abandoned. Screen tearing and poor snowmobile handling are common complaints, while players request a co-op mode.
