The Cold Dark is a solo journalling game of survival. You play a survivor lost in bleak, frozen wilderness after a storm brought down the plane you were in. Now, with your pilot dead and no one to help you, you must gather every resource you can to simply stay alive.

The Cold Dark is also a horror game. The further you travel—the longer you survive—the clearer it becomes that something is hunting you. Before this night is over, you will have to take a stand against this unseen Beast. 

If the cold doesn't kill you, It will.

Travel between 13 winter ravaged locations in search of resources that will help you survive the night. Overcome each locations complication by using one of two skills; your Survival or Awareness.

Each skill is represented by a dice which will decrease in size with every failure to overcome a challenge. The longer you try to survive, the harder things become.

Resources increase your chances to survive the night and kill the Beast that hunts you. Without them you will most certainly perish. If the cold, dark night doesn't kill you first.
