## What is Overwinter Survival?

Overwinter Survival is a card-based survival game in which you are stranded on the glaciers of Greenland.

The cold and loneliness ensnare you after your plane breaks down for an unknown reason, leaving you crashed on Greenland's glaciers and seeking shelter at a nearby cabin. Now you must hunt, craft tools and items, and keep your stove fueled to survive in the cold.

In Overwinter Survival, you must use the cards you're dealt to stay alive. You can only use one card per round. With Lady Luck at the helm, no two journeys will be the same.

Fish in the glaciers, hunt with your spear and craft an axe at your workshop to become a lumberjack. To get out of this frozen hell and see your family once again, you must stay alive and repair your plane. 

Experience a unique journey each time you play with randomly generated card decks and test your survival skills while pushing your luck amidst the frozen glaciers.

### 3/5 — Fishing

*2026-08-12*

The fishing game is broken, the mechanics typically just close the app

### 1/5 — Total RNG

*2026-08-09*

A game shouldnt be based on luck to this extent especially if the entire gameplay depends on the first few moments of playing. If you dont get essential cards like workbenches and tools initially(and you wont) good luck surviving past day 5.

### 4/5 — Frustrating and too difficult

*2026-08-04*

There is so much potential for this game to be great but It’s frustrating because the three options are often useless and the only way to keep going is if you have enough premium currency. This feels extra frustrating because it is not free to download. After enough tries, the game feels stale and burnout sets in fast. It honestly took me less than an hour to become too jaded to continue. Hopefully they will balance it in some way so it feels like you are progressing even if you die.

### 5/5 — Отличная игра

*2026-08-02*

Затягивает атмосферой выживания

### 5/5 — Creative

*2026-08-01*

### 1/5 — Штукатурка

*2026-07-26*

Что бы хоть что то построить - нужен рабочий стол, но за 2 часа игры он ни разу не выпал. Симулятор поедания тараканов
