99 nights. Winter is coming

Forget everything you know about simple survival games. Here, the cold isn't just a background detail—it's a relentless adversary that grows more unforgiving with each passing night. You'll start with barely enough to keep a fire burning, and from there, every choice matters. Gather wood, scavenge for food, and craft better gear, all while keeping an eye on the thermometer that drops lower with alarming regularity. The real test isn't just staying alive; it's planning ahead for the nights when the wind howls through cracks in your shelter and your supplies run thin. As the days wear on, new threats emerge from the frozen darkness. You'll need to fortify your defenses, manage your dwindling resources, and make tough calls about whether to brave the elements for one more piece of coal or stay huddled in relative safety. There's no room for waste or hesitation. The game rewards careful thinking and punishes recklessness, creating a tense atmosphere where every dawn feels like a small victory. It's a battle of wits and will, set against a backdrop of endless white and biting chill.

What is 99 nights. Winter is coming

Brave the bitter cold in a world where winter never loosens its grip. Each night brings new challenges, and your survival hinges on every choice you make.

How to Play

Use your time during daylight to collect resources like wood and food from the surrounding area. At night, manage your shelter and fire to stay warm, and prepare defenses against the creatures that lurk in the dark.

Tips for Playing

  • Stockpile wood early to avoid scrambling when the cold sets in.
  • Upgrade your shelter's insulation before focusing on other upgrades.

  • Save your strongest tools for the harshest nights.
  • Plan a multi-night cycle for resource gathering and resting.
