About this game

WinterCraft is a realistic first-person winter survival simulator set in a frozen wilderness. Face hunger, bitter cold, wild animals and dangerous weather as you gather resources, craft gear, hunt, fish, explore snowy locations and build your own house before the next blizzard hits.

Winter survival starts with the basics. Collect wood, stone, metal and other resources, then craft tools, weapons and essential items. Light campfires, cook meat and fish, manage your food supplies and keep an eye on the condition of your clothing. When a blizzard arrives, visibility drops, temperatures plunge and staying outside for too long can become deadly.

Build your own house in the winter forest. Choose where to settle and construct it piece by piece: floors, walls, a roof, a stove, a bed and a workbench. Add furniture and decorations, store your supplies and turn a simple shelter into a home base for future expeditions.

Tame a dog, choose its appearance and give it a name. Your loyal companion can find and bring back nearby resources, help you hunt and defend you from predators. Give it commands, keep it fed and explore the frozen world together.

Head out onto the ice for winter fishing. Craft a fishing rod and bait, find a fishing hut and catch different species of fish. Cook your catch over the fire or turn it into meals to restore your strength and prepare for the journey ahead.

WinterCraft also features a story campaign with around 40 quests. After receiving a letter from your father, a scientist who has gone missing, you set out to find him and uncover what happened to this frozen land. Explore eight distinct locations, including abandoned sites and a mine, discover hidden secrets and follow the story at your own pace — or put the quests aside and simply survive.

Unlock a snowmobile, find fuel and travel quickly across snowy terrain. Use its storage to carry supplies, reach distant places faster and return home with new resources and discoveries.

Build, craft, hunt, fish, explore and survive in the harsh winter wilderness. Find a loyal companion, uncover the mystery behind the endless winter and create your own survival story in WinterCraft.

Would be better with a lower frequency of ads so people could actually see how good the game is. I'm very patient but it's really annoying when you finally get a pole and bait n when u go to fish it keeps lagging and taking my bait or the game continues as I'm being asked to rate causing me the same plus missing my chances on another fish. Other than that I might spend money on it I were able to see if I liked it or not.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! We understand how disruptive frequent ads and fishing bugs can be, especially when bait is lost. We'll review both the ad frequency and these gameplay issues to make the experience smoother.

Yeah I can't play with ads popping up incessantly after I paid for ad-free. I'm out til that's fixed. Great game, especially for fans of The Long Dark on PC. The only thing I'm disappointed by so far is that I paid for ad-free (to support the devs) and I'm seeing pop up ads so often it completely pulls me out of the game. Ad-free means free of all obtrusive and unexpected ads, even those for in-app purchases. Please fix that asap.

it would be more but for the ads !!!! I hadn't even had the game open for 30 seconds and had an ad , played for 1 minute had an ad , then 30 seconds after that ad , another one popped in !! uninstalling unless you just like watching ads , I wouldn't bother installing !!! but the game has promise of a good exploring game !! couldn't ever find where my campfires I crafted went though ! crafted 3 and couldn't find them anywhere !!! I'm disappointed I have been looking for a good exploring game
