Our take on The Cold White
Survival needs compete with the investigation: hunger, shelter, equipment, and the cold demand attention while Alice's disappearance remains the central mystery. The design therefore gives up a purely investigative pace in favor of repeated preparation and resource-gathering tasks.
What is The Cold White?
The Cold White is a survival adventure set in Alaska.
Alice, an archaeologist and the protagonist's fiancée, disappears after a hang-gliding accident and sends a final radio message: “They are real. ” The player must enter the frozen wilderness to find her and investigate the meaning of those words. Survival involves hunting when hunger sets in, gathering wood to build shelter, preparing food over a campfire, and making tools and weapons. The cold forest contains dangers that may require fighting or retreat. Alongside these survival activities, exploration and tracking advance the search for Alice and the mystery connected to her last communication.
