Description
About the game
Dead North is a hardcore survival game for one to four players, set in the north after the collapse.
Spruce forest, bog and lakes, small farms, villages and the strongholds of whoever held on. The world runs whether the players are there or not: factions raid each other, places fall and get resettled, and news travels by word of mouth. Every wound and every bullet counts, and everyone starts with nothing.
Features
Key features
- Co-op for 1–4 players, and built to be just as good solo.
- A living world: factions patrol, trade and raid; settlements fall and are resettled without the players.
- Injuries by body part: fractures, bleeding, infection. Downed friends can be dragged to safety and patched up.
- Day and night: lit windows, campfires and torches; stealth in the dark.
- Hunting and wildlife: deer, elk, hare, grouse and wolves.
- Scavenging and crafting from what you find; barter instead of shops.
- Start with nothing. Death is final for that survivor.
