Please keep in mind, that the game is still in progress, so it may not reflect the final version. The graphics and gifs we’re showing today represent the current state of the game. Our graphic team is actively working on a new art style, and we’ll keep you updated as we implement these changes.
Frost Survival VR
Frost will have elements from many different genres, but it can most accurately be summed up as ‘Multiplayer Sandbox Adventure Survival’.
After a series of unfortunate events, you find yourself surrounded by an ice-covered wilderness. Isolated from the rest of the world, you must rely on your own wists and limited resources to survive these harsh conditions.
The core gameplay focuses on performing survival activities while avoiding the events and factors that can cause death. The further you explore your surroundings, the more new materials you find that help you survive. Keep in mind that not every location is safe; some areas might be off-limits based on your current gear.
Survival & Base Building
The most important point of the map will be the shelter which the player will be using to escape frost and replenish vital strengths. This will be a place to warm up, protect yourself from wild animals, wait out snowstorms, store resources, and craft essential equipment. Recently we’ve been working on a shelter building mechanic. You'll need to chop down trees, break them into smaller pieces, and use these materials to build and enhance your shelter.
Survival & Campfire
Lately, our team has been focusing on developing fire-making mechanics and various interactions with campfires.
Fire will play a central role in your survival. Players will need to light campfires not only to stay warm, but also to cook food (like meat and fish on sticks), or place a stand to cook multiple things and also to purify water. Campfires won’t last forever, though—so players will need to manage them by adding wood or other flammable materials to keep them burning.
From the campfire, players can also light torches, which will help illuminate the pitch-black nights, provide a small warmth boost, and scare off predators that might be lurking in the dark.
