## What is Nordic Outpost?

Nordic Outpost is a turn-based survival strategy game set on a frozen 10x10 grid. Each day you get four actions: explore the wilderness, gather wood, stone and food, and build up your outpost. Then you end the day - and winter pushes back.

The cold deepens relentlessly. Wolves test your walls. Blizzards freeze your harvest. Your fire burns wood every single night, and if it goes out, so do you.

Runs are short and deadly by design. Every run earns honor, which unlocks permanent upgrades and new characters - the Hunter, the Forester and the Engineer each change how you play.

FEATURES

- Quick, tactical runs: minutes to play, hard to master
- A transparent forecast: see exactly what the next day costs before you commit
- Meta progression: permanent upgrades and unlockable characters
- Hand-drawn Nordic minimalist art
- Synthesized ambient audio that deepens with the cold
- Free to play, with a single one-time purchase that removes all ads

How long can you keep the fire burning?

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-09-26

A small update: the App Store now lists all seven languages the game has spoken since version 1.0.5. Nothing in the game itself has changed.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-09-25

Fixes for smaller phones. On an iPhone SE and similar screens the start menu
could hide New run, the daily and the shop below the edge; it now fits and
scrolls. The open forecast no longer covers the build menu: on short screens
the buttons it would cover step aside while you read it, and come back when
you close it.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-18

Nordic Outpost now speaks your language. The whole game — the board, the
forecast, the upgrades, the reference and every message — is translated into
Swedish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Turkish. It follows your
phone's language on its own; there is nothing to set.

No gameplay has changed. Same winter, same arithmetic, same par.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-17

The daily outpost: one shared map for every player, new each day, and the same
rules for everyone - no upgrades, so the number means the same thing whoever
scores it. It comes with a par to beat and a result you can share.

Insulation now also pushes the deep winter back, so a fully upgraded run has
somewhere left to go.

Bigger buttons and counters, and a new Reference tab explaining every tile,
building and upgrade.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-15

No release notes.
