DRAGO Entertainment is one of the odd developers with several interesting projects both released and in the works. The developer and partial publisher of Gas Station Simulator also has titles such as Treasure Hunter Simulator, and more recently Food Truck Simulator. As well as this we have the announced Gas Station off-shoot Road Diner Simulator and Motel Simulator, as well as Farm, American Airport, Superstore, and Treasure Hunter Simulator 2. Personally, the two I’m most interested in are Paparazzi and Detective Simulator. The point is, aside from the ones I didn’t mention, DRAGO Entertainment is doing a lot of games.

One game that is releasing into Early Access next month is possibly set to take on the crown of 2017 survivalist darling, The Long Dark. That game is Winter Survival. With a title like that and screenshots that you can see, as well as the 25 minutes of gameplay on the developer/publisher’s YouTube channel (or below), you aren’t in for a whole lot of city living. The press release for Winter Survival had this to say yesterday with its Early Access release date announcement:

“After a vicious bear separates a group of friends, prevail in the harshest conditions and survive alone in a winter wasteland. Overcome the bitter bite of wicked wind and unforgiving snow, using every ounce of strength to find refuge against the daunting elements.

Rustle up food and gather water while avoiding terrifying predators such as packs of blood-thirsty wolves or a battle-scarred bear. If all else fails, fend off hungry wildlife with makeshift spears or keep them at bay with strong shelters. Keep warm in sub-zero temps, while also maintaining mental fortitude. Keep a sound mind in dire situations or the induced stress may cause phantom apparitions and nightmarish hallucinations.

Early Access will offer three different modes, Story Mode will have survivors learn the secrets of an abandoned town while trying to return to society. Endless Mode will challenge survivalists to last as long as possible through the harsh winter, while Coldwave Mode tests outdoorsmen through intense and escalating challenges.“

Typical survival, crafting, and base building. It isn’t a bad thing, but certainly a niché. I can speak on the experience from Gas Station Simulator, DRAGO entertainment certainly made that enjoyable and fun. Hopefully, the same can be said of Winter Survival upon its Early Access release on the 28th of February. If you want to try the prologue out for yourself right now, there is a demo just for that over on Steam.
