Still Winter

Still Winter is a retro dark survival action-adventure with RPG elements, following a retired adventurer whose story is far from finished. The world is unforgiving: you must endure the bitter cold, carefully balance hunger, warmth, and exhaustion, and face a rising, spreading threat that refuses to sleep.

Set in a snow‑blanketed frontier, exploration is shaped by limited visibility, creeping fog, and shifting weather. Every step can alter your approach to combat, resource gathering, and escape. The pace rewards patience and planning as you chart treacherous paths through forest and ruin.

Character progression is tied to gear, recipes, and the knowledge you gain from encounters. Looting monsters yields parts you can sell or repurpose into weapons and tools. Crafting improves survival: meals grant buffs, torches extend visibility, and armor reduces cold damage. Your choices influence how villagers trust you and what side quests open. The story unfolds through environmental storytelling, scattered notes, and memorable encounters that slowly reveal why winter spreads and how the world intends to endure.

PS1‑inspired retro aesthetics blend with modern design sensibilities, offering low‑poly environments, pixelated graphics, and optional filters to evoke a classic console look while maintaining clarity for contemporary players.
