One wrong move can turn your peaceful climb up the mountain into a fight for your life.

You find yourself in this unpleasant situation after falling from height. Luckily, the injuries are not serious. Unfortunately, this is where the good news ends; you lost your backpack and most of your supplies are gone with it. The clothes are intact, but even they will not keep you warm against the biting frosts of the night. You were aware of the local conditions before going out on this trip, so you need to plan your next steps carefully - this way the weather will not catch you by surprise and you will be able to build a shelter in time. Compass and map will help you find your way in the winter environment, provided that you know how to use them. Over time, you will start to feel hungry and thirsty, and your creativity will be crucial when searching for food. Set traps for small animals, build a fire to cook them, melt the snow to get drinking water and gather supplies to survive.

In Winter Survival Simulator you can also become the prey. Local wildlife is not used to the presence of humans and a frightened bear or a wolf may attack you. This game is not an action movie - there is no combat, because you have no chance of winning with a large predator. Your only way to survive such confrontations is to stay away from the animals’ territory and try not to provoke them when you encounter them face to face. It will be possible, but only if you learn to read their trails. This will also help you hunt small animals - you can set traps in new spots and even use those abandoned by poachers.

Someone once traveled through this area and even lived there. As you search the surroundings for a ranger’s station, you will come across old settlements. Adapting a building that requires several repairs will certainly be a more comfortable and safer way to spend the night than sleeping in a hand-built hut. You have no idea how much time you are going to spend there - maybe it would be worth staying in one of the cottages for longer?

The fight for survival is not a positive story about returning home - it involves tragedy, battle of morality and humanity, as well as crossing certain limits. Winter Survival Simulator focuses on realism and telling a true story, while avoiding unnecessary censorship at the same time.

Winter Survival Simulator will not be an easy ride, and in order to maintain a realistic atmosphere, DRAGO entertainment invited Marek Kamiński, a Polish extreme traveler and the first man in history to reach both poles without any external help, to work on the game.

“I am pleased to share my knowledge and experience from my travels to the farthest and most interesting corners of the world”, says Marek Kamiński. “I have never had the opportunity to work on a video game, so I was happy when DRAGO entertainment offered me this possibility. I treat this as a new and exciting journey. The game I will be helping develop will truly reflect the journey in difficult mountain conditions and will spark in players the will to survive. I am going to share my experience in this area with the developers. I hope that my support will help create an interesting survival title and will allow players to get a taste of a real expedition.”

“During development of Red Frost and its mechanics, we got an idea to create a smaller game based on pure winter survival, in which we put players in a difficult situation and see how they can handle it”, says Lucjan Mikociak, Head of DRAGO entertainment studio. “By working with Marek Kamiński on Winter Survival Simulator, we delve deeper into the survival element and add an educational bit to the project, so we can increase the level of immersion in our new game.”

Winter Survival Simulator is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for 2021.
