Into the Wild

Into the Wild is a survival game set in Jegersdal, a snowbound valley inspired by the Norwegian hinterlands. You scavenge for supplies, prepare for the cold and hunger, and explore as far as you can while trying to prolong your survival. The valley holds the remains and stories of those who came before, but your own story will eventually end.

Surviving in Jegersdal

You begin unprepared and must quickly find shelter, clothes to ward off the cold, food to satisfy your hunger and tools to help you navigate unfamiliar surroundings. Weather and temperature fluctuate frequently, so you need to account for them when venturing out. Starvation and freezing follow real-world thresholds, and mistakes in judging your chances can prove fatal.

The valley’s history

Messages, notes, journals and other documents left by earlier inhabitants are scattered throughout Jegersdal. You find them in ragged shelters, derelict shacks and caves, and piece together the valley’s hidden history and the harrowing stories of its inhabitants. Doing so can require every tool at your disposal.

Music and weather

The music reacts to certain actions by measuring your intention, not just the consequences of your choices. It also changes with the weather, making the valley’s shifting conditions something to listen for.

Death and difficulty

Death is inevitable, but you can try to survive long enough to discover more of Jegersdal and its grim tales. On higher difficulties, death is permanent and the consequences of your actions become more extreme.
