Your Best Friend

14. jan.

A few minutes after you start your Permafrost adventure, your trusty german shepherd will be by your side, ready to make surviving in this harsh world a little easier and a lot more heartwarming.

Your dog is an invaluable part of the adventure. It can carry extra items for you, acting as a trusty pack mule when your inventory fills up. Whether you’re scavenging for resources, hauling loot back to your base, or just want to travel lighter, your canine companion has you covered.

And calling your dog is as easy as blowing a whistle. No matter how far you stray or how treacherous the terrain gets, one sharp sound will have your faithful friend trotting back to your side. It’s a simple mechanic, but one we believe adds a comforting sense of connection as you navigate the icy dangers of Permafrost.

But we’re just getting started. In future updates, your dog’s role will grow even more dynamic. Soon, your companion will be able to warn you of dangers lurking nearby, bring you loot it finds in the environment, help you locate hidden resources, and even guide you through the treacherous landscape.

Our goal is to make the dog not just a tool for survival but a true companion—one that players will bond with as they brave the challenges of Permafrost.

Don't forget to put your dog along with Permafrost on your wishlist!

Permafrost Sneak Peek - Solar Facility

12. dec. 2024

In Permafrost we’re designing a world forever changed by the ‘shattering’, a world altering natural disaster that has plunged the world into a new ice age where the temperature and overall climate represents a permanent winter.

In designing the game, creating a contrast between the natural wilderness and man-made architecture is also an important aspect to change up tactical play and the game's visual appeal.

Today we wanted to give you a sneak peek at the solar facility. This modern facility complete with damaged and distorted solar panels, was once an active energy generating location which now lies derelict and will be one of many unique places to explore in the game. Check out the shots below.

Crafting Essentials - Moonrock

26. nov. 2024

The story of Permafrost is set in the wake of the cataclysmic ‘shattering', an apocalyptic moon phase phenomenon where humanity finds itself teetering on the brink of extinction as the world succumbs to an eternal deep freeze.

Following the catastrophic events that shattered the moon, fragments of its remains fell to Earth, including a significant moon rock near one of the forest areas. This resource possesses unknown capabilities but has already proven valuable for crafting high-quality, highly durable tools and equipment. Its arrival led to concerns about potential contamination, which, combined with the harsh conditions, prompted the military to abandon their post.

Not to be confused with another valuable resource, coal, the moon rock's mysterious properties and utility have made it a desirable resource in the post-apocalyptic world, inspiring hope but also fear.
