'Dead In Vinland' Demo Out Now On Steam

by Rainier on May 3, 2018 @ 11:10 a.m. PDT

Dead In Vinland is a survival management game set on a faraway unknown land, where you must lead Eirik and his family on their quest to survive.

Manage their physical and mental health, explore the island, organize your camp and deal with other human beings - friends or foes. Discover some esoteric mysteries while you’re there, too. Mysteries that could save your life... Or lead you to your own demise.

Set in the same universe as CCCP’s Dead in Bermuda, Dead in Vinland pulls from many genres with survival management systems, RPG and adventure elements, with a focus on player choice.  Each game is totally independant, you won't miss a thing if you haven't played DiB, but in the end you'll learn in each game more about a common thread that ties everything together.

Exiled on a faraway, unknown land, lead Eirik and his family on their quest to survive. Manage their physical and mental health, explore the island, organize your camp and deal with other human beings – friends or foes. Discover some of the esoteric mysteries in Vinland - mysteries that could save your life…or lead you to your own demise.

independent developer CCCP and publisher Playdius have launched a free public demo for Dead In Vinland on Steam.

The public Steam demo will allow players to experience the first few days on Dead In Vinland’s cursed island. Get to know Eirik and his family, explore your surroundings, make difficult decisions with deep management and crafting systems, and engage in deadly battles as players struggle to survive day-by-day.

As part of developer CCP’s continued commitment to support and improve Dead In Vinland, several significant patches and hotfixes have been deployed in response to player feedback with more to come.

Key Features:

  • Deep survival management simulation: Manage the physical and mental health of your team, ration food, and choose daily activities
  • Challenging and turn-based: Randomized elements make it so there is no perfect strategy. Take your time and adapt to the situation to make the best decisions!
  • Build your community of up to 14 playable characters. Meaningful choices will alter the relationships in your team and the story. Expect romances, hatred and betrayals!
  • Evolve your camp: Craft more than 150 upgrades to help you settle on this cursed island
  • Fight the elements: Face terrible storms and droughts. Manage your potable water stocks wisely!
  • An island to explore: Featuring over 150 map areas, discover the secrets of the island in a non-linear story. And maybe... other survivors?
  • Full RPG system: Usable objects, skills to upgrade, characters to level-up, character traits
  • Tactical turn-based combat system

Dead In Vinland is currently available as digital download through Steam for PC and Mac.
