Shadow Of Winter

Shadow Of Winter is a first person survival horror game set in Canada in 1985, and the setup is probably the strongest thing about it for me. I play as Joseph, who gets stranded in the wilderness after a storm and starts looking for his missing brother. That search eventually leads me to an abandoned Soviet bunker hidden under the snow. I really like that idea because the game starts out feeling like a survival story in the cold and then slowly turns into something much darker once I get underground. The atmosphere does a lot of the work here. The frozen wilderness already gives me that feeling of being completely cut off from everything, but the bunker is where I think the game becomes much more interesting. I am moving through old Soviet rooms, finding notes, journals and other clues while the environment starts showing signs that something went very wrong. Roots growing through the metal and strange noises in areas that should be empty make the bunker feel uncomfortable without needing to throw something at me every few minutes. I prefer this kind of horror because it gives me time to actually wonder what happened before showing me too much. The survival side is simple but fit…

This is the greatest game ive ever played 10/14 higly recomend

The Graphics Are ♥♥♥♥, I Fell Through The Map And The Game Crashed.

My review sadly won't be too different from the rest. I could do without the giant maps with not much in them but to run through at the start - just feels like padding, and yeah it didn't run great but that could also be my potato. The real issue is this is buggy as hell. When I finally got the actual bunker and the lights dimmed I was finally getting into the atmosphere when I seemingly died for no reason. No black rectangle smoke from my lungs, no enemies or animals pouncing on me, not even a sound, just one second i was fine, the next dead. But the real issue was I kept hitting restart from checkpoint and nothing happened. By that I mean it was clearly registering my input, the screen would flash momentarily, I think it was... restarting me from the point i died? So I then just died again, and repeat. Eventually after six or seven tries I spawned under the ground, fell into the abyss, and the game froze. Hopefully that description helps? I get that this is free and thanks for that devs, but you should try to fix this stuff.

Just simply confusing and not quality. I played for about 10 minutes and was lost and confused of what to do and it could be a great game but many issues need to be addressed.
