Permafrost News

A huge thanks to everyone that played the Permafrost demo in the Steam Next Fest this past week. It’s been great seeing some of the playthroughs shared across social media and thank you to everyone that got in touch with us and left feedback on the game either on Steam, Discord or social media, we are listening.

Permafrost secured the number 3 spot in "Trending and Upcoming Games" and reached a high of number 7 for "Most Popular Demos" in its first few days and that’s all thanks to you, the players.

You’ll also be pleased to know that we’re extending the demo beyond Steam Next Fest, so now you’ll get more time to explore, craft and hunt.

There’s still lots to do but know that we’re committed to delivering a unique survival game experience and one that sets itself apart from many others that have gone before us. You, the players, are an integral part of that journey, and we welcome all your feedback and player insights to help us shape the game.
