Press release:
Kraków, Poland – Sept. 13, 2023.
“Winter Survival“, the story-driven, sanity-testing sandbox survival game from developer DRAGO entertainment, endures a blistering battle on PC via Steam Early Access beginning Wednesday February 28th, 2024.

After receiving feedback DRAGO has revamped the title from Unreal 4 to Unreal 5 which allows the team to realize breathtaking landscapes, realistic textures, and awe-inspiring effects.

From the team behind the critically acclaimed Gas Station Simulator, Winter Survival is a battle against the brutal elements of Mount Washington, New Hampshire. Following a lone survivor after the events of an unexpected accident, icy tendrils of winter close in and hallucinations start to manifest.

After a starved bear attacks separating the small group of survivors, it now lurks in the shadows ready to sink its teeth in if found. Explore the wilderness to secure nutrition and supplies. Discover blueprints left behind that will help survivors adapt to the harsh conditions, utilizing them to craft protection against apex predators, nightmare fueled figures, and the ferocious bear that looms in the region longing to track down its prey. Hunting down the forest’s fauna requires knowledge of their behavior and skill.

Three modes will be available in Early Access, Story Mode, Coldwave, and Endless.

Key Features:
Survive an Unforgiving Wilderness – Play as an inexperienced survivalist. Overcome the difficulties of baron isolation or perish. Explore the surrounding terrain and withstand its unrelenting challenges. Become smarter, faster, stronger. Kill to eat, learn to thrive, and master the madness that ensues.
Fight Against Insanity – The most deviant enemy in a desolate land, is one’s mind. Treat wounds, satisfy needs, or become overwhelmed by fear and horrifying visions.
Gather, Build, Survive, Repeat – Venture into the wilderness and uncover hidden secrets and treasures to increase chances of survival. Manage materials to create shelter, stay warm, and hopefully live to see another sunrise.
Unearth the Past – Reveal the mysteries of the region, why a local town has been left in shambles, and what happened to the people that used to inhabit this dreary winter land.
Hunt and Harvest – Set traps to catch prey, fend off wolves with torches, wield spears, and repel the restless wildlife.
Endure in Three Game Modes
Story Mode – Uncover the secrets of an abandoned town and its people while avoiding a ravenous bear
Coldwave – Brave the elements of an ever-changing winter
Endless Mode – Test your skills. Take advantage of your surroundings. Overcome.

“The next few months will allow our team to carry out more detailed testing and quality control, which both for us as developers and for our players is an extremely important issue, and in such a situation haste is certainly not advisable.” concluded Joanna Tynor, CEO at DRAGO entertainment.

Winter Survival will be available on PC via Steam Early Access Wednesday, February 28, 2024, with console versions planned for the future. For more information, wishlist the game on Steam and follow DRAGO entertainment on Twitter and Facebook.
