WINTERING is a game, paid, with a free browser demo on the store page.
WINTERING is a short top-down survival action game for Windows, with a free demo you can play in your browser on this page: the first three days of the winter. You are a lone trapper with one winter to survive on a taiga.
Warmth, food and light drain in real time; you hold a button to chop, dig and gather, make tools and fires from a recipe ring that never pauses the world, and fight wolves and boar that show you what they are about to do. The paid download is the whole ten-day winter, with two blizzards, a bear on the ridge, a beacon you can build and light, and the thaw.
Hand-written HTML5, no engine, made by Core Systems Asset Factory using AI tools. A winter is a budget Every trip away from the fire is a bet. A day is two and a half minutes of light and then a night that drains your warmth nearly twice as fast and brings the wolves out. Wood is close to the hut; food is not.
Go far enough to eat and you have to get back before dark, or carry a torch, or build a fire where you stand. We tested both obvious plans with bots. Staying by the fire and chopping the nearest tree starves you. Ranging out and fighting everything freezes you. Neither reached the thaw in twelve tries each.
