This is a slightly weird post to write.
I’m one of the developers of Permafrost, a survival game we've been working on for the last few years.
And on October 9, it finally enters Early Access.
The basic idea behind the game is pretty simple: The world ended, winter didn't.
You explore a frozen open world where preparation matters just as much as combat.
You scavenge abandoned buildings, craft what you need, restore shelters and slowly create a network of safe places that allows you to travel further.
Sometimes the biggest question is: can I make it back before the weather kills me?
You can play solo or bring up to 3 friends with you, divide responsibilities and try to survive together.
Or, if you're playing alone, you won't be completely alone.
You have a dog companion who can scout, warn you about danger and help carry supplies.
We've seen this game in every possible broken state during development, so the idea that in a few days people are actually going to be exploring this world themselves is both exciting and mildly terrifying.
But here we are.
October 9.
See you in the cold.
