It’s completely roasting out proper now, however it may’s effectively be December for all my potential to go exterior and luxuriate in it. No, let’s hunker inside, shutter the blinds, and relax with some cold-blooded homicide with Project Winter. Other Ocean’s glacial backstab ’em up is presently free ’til the top of the weekend, and providing cold-blooded betrayal for retains at a brutally slashed value.
Project Winter is a social survival game, one the place you and a bunch of fellow explorers must construct shelter, infrastructure and communication instruments to name in rescue earlier than the hypothermia units in. Only, a few of your celebration appear recent off a trip on The Ship, and their murderous antics are as a lot a hazard as any chilly snap or mountain wolf.
Matt took our very first early have a look at Project Winter when it was announced last January, and appeared hesitant of betrayal games the place you may’t see the appears in your co-conspirator’s faces. I’ll admit related considerations – a lot of Battlestar Galactica or The Resistance lies in these realizing glances and thoughts games.
But it appears like Project Winter has its personal methods to sow worry and mistrust. Like any good horror flick, surviving usually means splitting the group – risking your being left alone with gamers who might simply be plotting behind your again. You’re inspired to not sit on discord, however as an alternative use the game’s set of proximity chat and personal radio chatter to maintain tensions excessive. Plus, it’s not sufficient to simply plan a bloody betrayal – you’ve gotta pull off these excellent murders your self, out of sight and out of thoughts.
Either manner, it appears like Matt’ll be giving it a proper bash this weekend whereas it’s going for zero pennies. I count on to begin listening to tales about unlucky restore journeys and mistaking fellow survivors for polar bears within the coming days.
