Our take on Cold Land
Rather than centering on combat or a sprawling campaign, this walking simulator uses a brief journey through a snowy landscape. Roaring to activate runes gives exploration a gate-opening structure, while the search for the bear’s cub frames the trip.
What is Cold Land?
Cold Land is a short walking simulator in which a bear searches for its lost cub.
The player walks and runs through a stylized snow environment, explores its landscapes, and collects essences. Roaring activates runes that open access to new regions as the journey progresses. The game can be completed in one sitting.
