Permafrost Game Guide

Permafrost is presented on Steam as a grounded, story-driven open-world survival game after a series of catastrophes culminated in the shattering of the moon.

The world and the story setup

The Rook is drawn into the frozen world by a radio signal from a long-lost friend. The setting includes frozen cities and wilderness, while faction-controlled territories create a navigation and risk layer beyond the weather itself.

  • Near-future Earth locked in endless winter.
  • Frozen cities fading into wilderness.
  • Factions control territories and shape travel.
  • Progress is tied to exploration and adaptation.

Progression through adaptation

Steam says players restore abandoned shelters, repair broken machines, and reclaim fragile technology to push deeper into the world. Those are confirmed progression verbs; the exact order and required components are not published yet.

Launch-day update

This page will add the actual shelter, repair, technology, faction, and map sequence after the game exposes it in play.
