Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Join us in shaping Permafrost into an unforgettable experience! By jumping in early, you’ll directly influence the game’s evolution with your feedback. We’ve built a solid foundation packed with content, but your ideas will help us polish mechanics, expand the world, and deliver a game that truly resonates with players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We don’t know yet. The idea is to stay in Early Access for at least 12 months and use this time to add more biomes, quests, mechanics, quality of life features and technical optimization. Your feedback will shape the game!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The basic premise of the game will stay the same, but we want to expand the game world with several new biomes, quests, NPCs, enemies, equipment and vehicles.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Most planned core features of the game have been implemented and we already offer various biomes, hundreds of items, building blueprints and crafting recipes. The starting point of our narrative with plenty of side quests as well as cooperative multiplayer for up to 4 players are fully implemented and functional.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“It is very likely that the price will be increased over the course of the Early Access period leading up to a full 1.0 release. The price we are asking will always fairly reflect the content included and lower starting prices are a token of appreciation for your involvement during Early Access phase.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Our Discord server will be the primary communications hub for our community and you will be welcome to suggest new features, provide feedback and get in touch with us developers directly.”

About This Game

You are a “Rook”; an engineer with the skills to rebuild, but little wilderness experience, drawn into this frozen, unforgiving world by a radio signal from a long-lost friend.

Experience a grounded, story-driven open-world survival set in a near-future Earth locked in endless winter after a series of catastrophes that culminated in the shattering of the moon. As a solo player or together with up to 3 friends, explore frozen cities and wilderness, survive brutal weather, navigate faction-controlled territories, hunt, scavenge, craft, and build a network of shelters to endure this post-apocalyptic world.

THE COLD IS YOUR TRUE ENEMY!

The cold is alive and ever-present. Frostbite, storms, and creeping chill shape every journey, turning preparation, shelter, and timing into matters of survival.

A FROZEN OPEN WORLD TO EXPLORE!

Traverse a frozen open world where city ruins fade into wilderness. A tense, grounded survival experience shaped by silence and scarcity - no constant gunfire, no fantasy tropes. Just winter, isolation, and resolve.

EXPLORATION-GATED PROGRESSION!

Progress is earned through exploration and adaptation. Restore abandoned shelters, repair broken machines, and reclaim fragile technology to push deeper into the frozen world.

YOUR DOG AS YOUR LOYAL COMPANION!

Your loyal dog companion stands with you when the cold turns everything else silent. Rescued from the ruins, your dog scouts ahead, warns of danger, carries supplies, and keeps you grounded when the silence gets to be too much.

SYMBIOTIC 1-4 PLAYER CO-OP SURVIVAL!

The cold doesn't care how many of you there are. Play solo or survive alongside up to 3 friends, building shelter networks, dividing responsibilities, and playing to each other's strengths. Co-op doesn't simplify the world; it just means you don't face the cold alone.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The game contains depictions of violence against humans and animals, as well as the use of tobacco, alcohol, and unspecified medicine to endure harsh cold conditions.
