Unveil

Unveil is a survival game set in a deeply simulated natural world. You manage your energy, water and body temperature while finding food and shelter and adapting to the climate.

Find food and water

Every step and action uses energy, which you replenish by eating. Set traps for wild animals, fish, or harvest and replant plants. You can cook fat or eat worms when necessary.

Your body uses water to function and to sweat, its only way to cool down. Find fresh water, refill containers, collect rain, or produce water from air humidity or salt water.

Adapt to the climate

High temperatures and dry air increase water loss; cold can cause sickness or make your body shut down. Shelter from cold and intense sun, wear clothes for protection from rain and sun or for warmth, and relocate when the season calls for it.

A simulated ecosystem

The simulation models planetary tilt, spin and rotation to determine the sun’s altitude and create different conditions by latitude. You can survive near the Equator, where summer is permanent, or near the Pole, where nights can last an entire season. The weather system simulates evaporation, cloud formation, thunderstorms, hail, changes in atmospheric pressure, dried rivers and snow.

Fish and small land animals grow and reproduce; they can become pregnant, overpopulate or go extinct. Plants respond to sunlight, soil humidity, water absorption, fertilization and hibernation. You can plant, care for and harvest fruit for a slower-paced, safer approach to long-term survival.

Fire burns fuel according to its quantity, wind speed and humidity, and can warm the air in small caves. Temperature, humidity and wind affect how your body assimilates and dissipates heat; you shiver or sweat to regulate your temperature, while hot, dry air can dry out your skin.
