Don't Starve is a wilderness survival game, sort of.

Wilson is a scientist who has been trapped and transported to a new world by a demon. He must exploit the environment and creatures if he wants to find a way back home. Gather resources to craft items and structures.

Try not to die. But you will. Many, many times.

Don’t Starve Together is a multiplayer expansion for Don’t Starve allowing friends or complete strangers to survive together, in either public or private games. It will have most of (if not all) the normal features in Don’t Starve, balanced for multiplayer, and potentially even add new features.

Single player Don’t Starve will not be affected by the addition of multiplayer except for content or features not specifically related to multiplayer gameplay. Balance changes and content aimed at creating an interesting multiplayer experience will not be added to the single player game.

Don’t Starve Together will support 2-4 players simultaneously.

Don’t Starve Together will be a free expansion for all current owners of Steam / Standalone. With the addition of multiplayer, the price of Don’t Starve will go up to $19.99 USD around the time Alpha becomes available ( expected late summer 2014).
