Frostpunk

Frostpunk is a society survival game set in an entirely frozen world, where heat means life and every decision comes at a price. You build the last city on Earth and secure what your community needs to survive, balancing resource management and technology with the needs and morale of its people. Exploring beyond the city helps you understand the world’s history and present state, and can bring supplies, information and new people whose fate rests with you.

Govern your society

You establish laws governing work, healthcare, food and other parts of daily life. You can lead through compassion and faith or rule with an iron fist, choose extremes or seek balance; once you set your society on a path, there is no turning back. Your decisions also shape hope and contentment, which matter alongside keeping people fed and safe. Even small choices, such as deciding the fate of a troubled citizen or responding to a newborn faction’s demands, can have unexpected consequences.

Develop the city

You respond to immediate events while investing in long-term technological progress. Building advanced infrastructure, including self-powered automatons and airships, is possible through careful management and leadership. The city’s needs may compete with the time and resources required to explore the frozen world beyond it.

Explore the Frostland

You send expeditions beyond New London to seek valuable information and supplies and to grow the city’s population. The journeys are risky, and you may find people whose fate depends on your decisions.

Endless Mode

Endless Mode offers three ways to play across eight maps, each with different terrain, weather conditions and challenges:

• Endurance: test your building, management and survival skills in the harshest conditions.
• Builders: start without a generator, creating a different kind of challenge.
• Serenity: focus on building the city without unnecessary pressure.
