Our take on Dead In Vinland

The central structure is a turn-based survival campaign in which camp expansion competes with the need to manage a family’s health, supplies, and relationships.

What is Dead In Vinland?

Lead Eirik and his family after they are exiled to an unfamiliar island.

Gather resources, secure food and water, care for characters’ physical and mental health, treat illnesses and injuries, and prepare for changing weather. Turn-based play gives time to make decisions as crises arise. Expand the camp with 18 activity stations and craft upgrades, while choosing how to develop a community of 14 playable characters. Dialog choices affect relationships, and the story includes possible romances and changing quests. Explore 150 areas, interact with objects, and uncover island mysteries. The game also includes 3 difficulty modes, non-linear quests, and tactical 3 vs 3 combat against Björn’s followers.
