Winter has come early. But instead of tranquil fields of snow, this winter summons chaos and destruction, pushing humanity to the brink of extinction in the aftermath of a cataclysmic event. Development studio SpaceRocket Games and German indie publisher Toplitz Productions proudly announce that their story-driven survival sandbox Permafrost is now available in Early Access for PC via Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store.
Get ready to fight for your life, as you step into the role of the main character Rook and try to survive in an unforgiving environment on a journey to find your friend Icarus, long believed dead. Face this white hell either alone, with only your dog companion by your side or team up with three friends in co-op multiplayer. You have to withstand everything that nature and the rival factions vying for supremacy throw at you.
Explore a frozen wasteland and hunt for food or materials. Gather resources, collect valuable loot and craft a wide variety of items from tools to weapons and protective clothing. However, inventory space is scarce and careful planning of your expeditions will make a difference. Build a network of shelters to increase your chances of survival. Fierce wildlife and enemy factions are only part of the danger, as nature itself is your ultimate adversary. Expect dynamic weather and bitter sub-zero temperatures throughout, plummeting even lower in the dreaded cold zones. Entering those lethal environments poses a high risk, but promises high rewards and extraordinary loot to all those brave enough to try. You have to survive. Every. Day.
With an extensive roadmap already in place, SpaceRocket Games will use the Early Access phase to add exciting new content, while actively gathering invaluable community feedback. The player feedback will serve as a cornerstone for optimizations, quality-of-life improvements and fresh ideas throughout development.
