Our take on Frozen State
Each playthrough reshuffles the world, building interiors, enemies, and loot, making procedural variation the defining structure of this survival journey.
What is Frozen State?
Frozen State is a survival game set during a man-made ice age created to protect humanity from alien hybrids.
Stranded in the experimental city of Duga-40, the main character must repair a transport and stay alive while traveling toward the Resistance. The world contains 65 locations populated by survivors, military groups, and alien hybrids. Each playthrough randomly generates the world, building interiors, enemies, and loot. Survival involves hunger, thirst, sleep, stealth, changing weather, and resource management. Crafting covers food, weapons, traps, barricades, and shelters. Players can meet non-player characters, complete quests, uncover the city’s history, and choose between rogue-like and normal modes. Three main characters are available.
