About The Cold Forest

✦ AI summary

The Cold Forest is a hardcore survival game where you must trek through a frozen wilderness to reach a lighthouse and signal for rescue, all while managing critical injuries and blood loss before time runs out. Every decision matters in this unforgiving experience where one wrong move can mean freezing, starvation, or death, forcing you to carefully weigh exploration and resource gathering against your dwindling survival window.


You crashed on an island, your plane has a lot of valuable medicines and vaccines that will save hundreds of lives. Due to the injury and loss of blood, you will still die, but try to get to the lighthouse and at least give a signal so that you can find and use the plane with medical supplies. Try to complete the last worthwhile goal in your life, but don't forget about yourself - you need to get to the lighthouse, not freeze in the nearest ditch.

Realism - only you and cold wild forest, you should think twice before your every step
Survive - you can freeze and starve to death at any moment
Hardcore - only one life and do not forget you bleeding all that time
Explore - think over every step because there may not be food supplies or the nearest fire
Goal - you have a goal, and it's important, but can you achieve it?

✦ AI summary

The Cold Forest is a short walking simulator with survival elements that most players complete in under an hour, praised for its relaxing music and atmospheric campfires but criticized for being too easy once you understand the mechanics, poor level design with awkwardly placed assets, and the lack of English localization. Players feel the game is not worth its asking price, though a few found it acceptable as a budget purchase for its calming experience.

I read the reviews before buying this for 0.49€. It's a walking simulator with survival elements, but once you figure things out, surviving is just a time management issue. i died a couple of times before figuring things out, but it still took me just 42 minutes to play it through. It's not a well designed game, but it's not horrible either. I'm giving it Yes, since it was what I expected after reading the reviews, and I think I got my money's worth.

The game was nice 5 /10, nothing too hard, just the preparations I took brought down my experience. Complaints Everything is in Russian, The map was generated with fence posts being on top of bushes and the path being too steep and having to walk around it, and not so easy to understand control scheme. Controls Standard (WASD), (shift) to Sprint, (space) to jump, (m1) to use and collect, (B) to eat Recommendation while playing Don't carry more than 20 resources while running around it not needed.

After 24 mins of play time I have actually completed the game. Would highly not recommend for the price. Positives: Beautiful music Relaxing at each campfire was nice Negatives: Assets placed haphazardly Only in Russian No tense game play due to over abundance of resources

Not recommended Sep 17, 2023
Yeah this game isn't all that great. However the music and atmosphere is rather relaxing, and all you do is walk and collect berries/wood the game is also not in English..Not at all worth $5

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
