Permafrost Guide Hub

Permafrost is a story-driven survival sandbox built around an endless winter, frozen cities, wilderness, exploration, shelter, and cooperation. This hub keeps its planning advice tied to the current Steam description.

The official survival frame

Steam places the player in the role of a Rook, an engineer pulled into a frozen near-future Earth by a radio signal from a long-lost friend. The listed systems are exploration, faction territories, hunting, scavenging, crafting, and a network of shelters.

  • Cold pressure: frostbite, storms, preparation, shelter, and timing.
  • Exploration: frozen cities and wilderness with progress gated by adaptation.
  • Co-op: solo or up to four players, with shelter networks and divided responsibilities.
  • Companion: a rescued dog that scouts, warns, carries supplies, and stays with the player.

How the guide will expand

Pre-release pages explain confirmed systems and define data fields for launch. Exact resource counts, warmth thresholds, recipes, map markers, and weapon comparisons will be published only after they are checked in a playable build.

Data rule

A blank field means the official page has not published the value yet. It is not a guessed value.
