About Project Winter

Project Winter poster

Project Winter turns friendship into a gamble, asking whether your companions truly have your back or a blade behind it. Built for eight players, this multiplayer experience blends social deception with wilderness survival, so trust becomes a resource as scarce as food. Survivors share one goal, escape, and reaching it demands constant communication and coordination as the group gathers resources, repairs structures, and braves the frozen wild together.

The catch is that traitors hide among you, working by any means to wreck the group's chances of getting out alive. That tension weaves survival, cooperation, and betrayal into a paranoid mix where every conversation could be a lie. Distinct roles shape each match, and the strategy runs as deep as the snow, since spotting the traitors before they strike is the only way to make it home.

An expansion called Project Winter 2.0: Cabin Fever brings the same chaotic mayhem with a more streamlined, intense feel, and delivers automatically to anyone who already owns the game. Long-time fans keep the demanding Classic mode intact, while Cabin Fever gives newcomers an easy entry point into this action, adventure, and strategy title. Traitors walk right beside you, so the question remains: can you unmask them in time?
