Dead In Vinland

Dead In Vinland is a survival and management game with RPG and adventure elements. You lead Eirik and his Viking family, exiled to a mysterious, faraway island, as they try to survive. Manage their physical and mental health, explore the island, organize your camp and deal with its inhabitants: some may help you, while others are less friendly. The island’s esoteric mysteries could save your life or lead to your demise.

Survival and camp

Gather resources, secure food and ration water while caring for your characters’ health. Treat diseases and wounds and endure storms, droughts, rain and other elements. The turn-based game gives you time to consider your decisions, but you must adapt to the crises it presents. Three difficulty modes are available, including an easy mode for focusing on the story, as well as extreme difficulty and Iron Man mode.

You can expand your shelter with 18 activity stations, each with its own mechanics, and craft more than 130 upgrades and dozens of items for useful bonuses. You cannot craft everything, so you must choose what to make. Alongside hunting, harvesting and fishing, you can grow a garden and breed sheep using advanced camp stations with special mechanics.

Your community

The game has 14 playable characters, each with their own strengths, flaws and stories. Dialogue choices influence how their relationships develop, and you can pursue one of seven possible romances, remove characters from your camp or recruit new ones.

Explore Vinland

Discover 150 areas, hundreds of interactive objects and the island’s secrets among its hand-painted landscapes. The story unfolds through 70 non-linear quests, and your choices determine what you learn about the characters’ lives after the ending. The game also features a mature story with humor, told across more than 150,000 words.

Threats and combat

The tyrant Björn Headcleaver and his band of robbers demand weekly tributes. You can submit and pay or rebel, with consequences either way. Tactical, turn-based combat pits you against Björn’s minions in quick, deadly 3 vs 3 battles. Five playable character classes each have their own fighting skills, alongside five passive classes.

Character development

Develop 20 skills and manage five health states across a system of more than 600 character traits. Characters can encounter 30 diseases and 20 wounds, and you can collect 100 items. Each time a character levels up, choose one of five randomly generated special traits to customize them.
