Here’s the trailer.
And here’s some backstory, care ofthe just-launched Steam page.
Experience the Quiet Apocalypse as survivors in the northern industrial city of Harmont and its vast environs.
How will you choose to survive?
I’m not sure whether this means there are unique co-op mechanics.
If my co-op partner dies, can I eat them and knit their entrails into a scarf?
And then there are the new urban areas.
“The wilds are dangerous, but sometimes the city is where the real threats lie.”
I assume they’re not talking about boy racers at the traffic lights.
The new Will to Live system complicates the already-steep challenge of keeping yourself fed, watered and uninjured.
You might be wondering what this “blackfrost” stuff is.

It’s not clear how exactly it affects you, but you’ll want to avoid it.
Ditto the “Aurora Storms” and “extreme weather events”.
Face your fears, overcome their downsides, and strengthen your Survivor’s story in the world.
Make your mark."

Or perhaps, I’ll just end up padding their stomach?
The Geoffening has begun!
