11 Bit Studios unveils survival game Frostpunk

30 August 2016

11 Bit Studios, the developers of This War of Mine and the Anomaly series have announced a new game, Frostpunk.

The game tasks you with staying alive in a deadly frozen wasteland.

It promises complex and demanding gameplay along with conflicting moral choices, as the threat of the ever-encroaching cold and other hazards loom over you.

“This is a deeply serious game created for a mature gamer,” said creative director Michal Drozdowski.

“Looking back at This War of Mine, we’re pushing boundaries even further, but we’re not pointing at reality in the same fashion. We’re putting human nature under a microscope to ask about what happens when people need to stay alive.”

“What people are capable of when pushed to the limits? In ultimately frozen world, people develop steam-powered technology to oppose overwhelming cold. The society in its current form becomes ineffective and it has to change in order to survive.”

“What does this change mean? What is culture when its morality stays in the way of existence? Think about how survival in the end may leave us different beings. If worse, better, stronger, weaker or, last but not least, more or less humane – that is debatable.”
