Fade to Silence

Fade to Silence is a single-player and two-player co-op survival adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world locked in eternal winter. You play as Ash, a tormented natural leader, exploring a frozen, corrupted wasteland to gather resources and establish a refuge. Eldritch creatures roam the landscape, while cold and blizzards threaten your survival.

Explore the frozen world

The launch version includes an 8 km² area spanning a river delta, dense forest and cultivated farmland. You scavenge materials for equipment, upgrades, tools and weapons, but gathering even basic supplies can require an expedition. You can choose an exploration mode to roam the world and experience the story at your own pace.

Dynamic weather makes survival depend on reading the conditions and deciding whether to seek shelter or press on. Blizzards are especially dangerous if they catch you unprepared. Snow displacement leaves paths behind both Ash and non-player characters, showing where hunting is good and where monsters are roaming.

Build your refuge

You can recruit followers to your refuge, each with their own skills and character traits. Their abilities give you access to higher-tier resources and gear; without followers, you can scavenge only basic necessities and craft makeshift tools and weapons. You must lead your followers and keep them alive, facing harsh moral choices along the way.

For long journeys into the farthest regions, you can pack a wolf sled and take a follower on an expedition. Co-op supports two players once the host has recruited the first follower.

Face the threats

You battle increasingly dangerous Eldritch creatures and contend with the unrelenting winter. Survival calls for strategic decisions as resources dwindle and the environment grows more dangerous.
