Permafrost

Permafrost is a story-driven open-world survival game set on a near-future Earth locked in endless winter after a series of catastrophes culminates in the shattering of the moon. You play as a Rook, an engineer skilled at rebuilding but inexperienced in the wilderness, drawn into the frozen world by a radio signal from a long-lost friend. Play solo or with up to three friends as you explore, survive the weather, navigate faction-controlled territories, hunt, scavenge, craft and build shelters.

Survive the cold

Frostbite, storms and the creeping chill shape each journey. Preparation, shelter and timing are essential to survival. The frozen world stretches from ruined cities into wilderness, where silence and scarcity define the experience rather than constant gunfire or fantasy elements.

Explore and rebuild

Progress comes through exploration and adaptation. You restore abandoned shelters, repair broken machines and reclaim fragile technology to reach deeper into the frozen world.

Travel with your dog

Rescued from the ruins, your dog can scout ahead, warn you of danger and carry supplies. The companion also helps you stay grounded when the silence becomes difficult to bear.

Survive together

In co-op for up to four players, you can build networks of shelters, divide responsibilities and make use of each player's strengths. Playing together does not make the world easier; it means you do not face the cold alone.
