I play games to relax and explore. Every moment of Frostpunk is panic, fear, and desperation. This is one of those games that will stick to your memory for years. A great escape from the real world issues, solving a fake worlds issues. I allowed in waves and waves of refugees in order to protect them from an incoming winter storm. We quickly ran out of food and coal to heat all of the homes. Many starved, many froze. I was banished for my compassion. I won't make the same mistake twice.

About This Game
END OF THE ROAD
Since the premiere, Frostpunk has been enriched with a number of updates. You can enjoy the new Endless Mode (with 3 ways of playing it) that increases the replayability of the game. There is also a new scenario - The Fall of Winterhome, that further expands the game’s universe and lore. And for the dessert, we’ve added things like naming characters and automatons and finally a photo mode. All of this is available for free for all the owners of the game. There are also three expansions, available with the paid Season Pass. At the same time we would like to inform you that we are not planning to create any more content for Frostpunk, as this journey is over for us, but there are more to come in the future, so be sure to keep an eye out for our games. Of course the game will still receive patches and fixes and we’ll provide the technical support.

ABOUT THE GAME
THE CITY MUST SURVIVE
Frostpunk, the newest title from the creators of This War of Mine, is a society survival game where heat means life and every decision comes at a price. In an entirely frozen world, people develop steam-powered technology to oppose the overwhelming cold. You face the task of building the last city on Earth and securing the means necessary for your community to survive.
Optimization and resource management often clash with empathy and thoughtful decision-making. While city and society management will consume most of the ruler’s time, at some point exploration of the outside world is necessary to understand its history and present state.
What decisions will you make to ensure the survival of your society? What will you do when pushed to the limit? And who will you become in the process?
MAKE THE LAW
Establish laws that regulate the existence of your growing society. Decide on their working routine, healthcare, food provision and other crucial aspects of everyday life. Maintain their hope and contentment – the moral condition of your society is as important as securing the basic means to keep them fed and safe.SHAPE YOUR SOCIETY
If you reach a turning point, do not hesitate to determine the path of your people. Should you rule them with an iron fist... or show them a way of compassion and faith? Reach for extremes or try to find a fair balance. Whichever you choose, remember: there’s no turning back.WEIGH UP YOUR CHOICES
Some of your decisions will seem small – like deciding the fate of a troubled citizen or meeting the demands of a newborn faction – but be aware that the sum of your doings can lead to unexpected results. Your people put their faith in you, but their devotion is not limitless. Leadership can be a burden.DEVELOP NEW TECHNOLOGIES
Survival demands progress. React to current events, but don’t forget about the long term and investing in development and technological progress. Providing a highly advanced infrastructure with self-powered automatons, airships, and other technical wonders is difficult, but achievable. It all depends on your management and leadership skills.EXPLORE THE FROSTLAND
While New London is your main focus, there is much more to the world than what lies within the limits of your city. Expeditions, while risky, can bring you valuable intel, precious supplies and grow your society’s population. There may be people out there, and their fate lies solely in your hands.PLAY ENDLESSLY
Frostpunk Endless Mode grants you unlimited replayability for the game. Play on 8 various maps, with different terrain, weather conditions and challenges to face. We know that different people look for different experiences and that’s why there are 3 modes to play in Endless Mode. Endurance will be an ultimate test to your building, managing and survival skills in the harshest conditions. Builders, where there is no generator available from the start, which creates a different type of challenge. And last but not least, Serenity which is focused on enjoying the art of building the city itself, without unnecessary pressure.Screenshots
User Reviews
Frostpunk 2 takes everything that made the first game stressful and somehow makes it even heavier. The atmosphere is incredibly bleak and oppressive but gripping. Every choice feels like it could doom your city or your morals and watching your society shift around those decisions is both terrifying and fascinating. It’s one of those games where you put it down and still think about the calls you made hours later. The only real downside is the pacing, there are stretches where you feel like you’re just waiting for things to happen which can break the tension a bit.
Also one of my top 50 games you should have played once. A city survival that's so brutally hard some times you just feel this suffering. No coal, no heat no food but it's back to work tomorrow.
It is a great puzzle with many levels of difficulty. The setting is very unique and it is nice to have a world exploration aspect.
Very engaging, existential-dead challenge strategy game. Unique scenario, that really hits home, so to say.
finally gave it time. messing around on medium. learning the bldgs and systems. a good time.
Just a shame when i purchased it i now have to buy a load of add on to play the game entirely. Shock another game that expects you to pay out your arse just to enjoy the game when you have already purchased the game. Absolute joke
Great strategic game. Its quite addictive, once I played 15 hours straight :D
Very addictive and immersive, The art is beautiful and the music is amazing. Great game to pass time.
The game is fantastic and packed with quality content. Even after beating the game a few times, I still find myself returning for more.
