About Northern Lights
Northern Lights is a survival game set on an unforgiving island in the Siberian wilderness. You begin without food or equipment and must find a way off the island by learning and applying wilderness survival skills.
Survive the wilderness
Hunt, fish and scavenge for food and gear. You can start fires and craft items while enduring a harsh environment filled with predators and potentially deadly afflictions. Wildlife includes Bears and Wolves, as well as Reindeer, Moose, Foxes, Boars and Hares.
You must keep Hunger, Hydration, Body Temperature and Energy in balance. Neglecting these stats can affect your in-game Sanity, while death stands in the way of surviving another day.
The island
The island combines natural wilderness with an abandoned world of varied locations. Its environment and wildlife create challenges as you search for a way out.
Difficulty scenarios
You can choose from four difficulty scenarios, ranging from a peaceful setting for exploring the world to a hardcore challenge for skilled survivors.
