Permafrost
You are a “Rook”; an engineer with the skills to rebuild, but little wilderness experience, drawn into this frozen, unforgiving world by a radio signal from a long-lost friend. Experience a grounded, story-driven open-world survival set in a near-future Earth locked in endless winter after a series of catastrophes that culminated in the shattering of the moon.
Permafrost Free Download - Game Review
As a solo player or together with up to 3 friends, explore frozen cities and wilderness, survive brutal weather, navigate faction-controlled territories, hunt, scavenge, craft, and build a network of shelters to endure this post-apocalyptic world. The cold is alive and ever-present. Frostbite, storms, and creeping chill shape every journey, turning preparation, shelter, and timing into matters of survival. Traverse a frozen open world where city ruins fade into wilderness. A tense, grounded survival experience shaped by silence and scarcity - no constant gunfire, no fantasy tropes. Just winter, isolation, and resolve. Progress is earned through exploration and adaptation. Restore abandoned shelters, repair broken machines, and reclaim fragile technology to push deeper into the frozen world. Your loyal dog companion stands with you when the cold turns everything else silent. Rescued from the ruins, your dog scouts ahead, warns of danger, carries supplies, and keeps you grounded when the silence gets to be too much.

Play Permafrost online (Online-Fix available)
The online fix is a separate download in the list below: install the game, then copy the fix's files into the game folder so multiplayer and co-op work over the internet with friends running the same version. Everyone joins through the game's own lobby or invite system; keep the build identical on all machines when a new version is released. All games with an online fix

· editedyou have to download the online fix in order to see the map, it is a known problem related to the game itself. I don't recommend playing this game because it isn't finished and u will lose ur time since u can't finish the storyline. I also came across important bugs. If i were u, i would just wait until it's fully released.
