Cold Breath is a survival action adventure game that challenges you to survive in the harsh Norwegian wilderness. Players must endure the never-ending cold while managing hunger and thirst in a realistic 8 square kilometer open world. Gameplay revolves around core survival mechanics: collecting wood and coal for a fire, hunting bears, wolves, and reindeer with unlockable rifles and bows, cooking meat and mushrooms, and seeking shelter in houses to avoid hypothermia. You can fish by breaking ice on frozen lakes, craft items like fishing rods, and explore different regions full of varied challenges. Your actions directly impact your food, water, temperature, and health, creating a constant balance as you navigate a beautiful Nordic landscape, complete with nightly aurora borealis. Diseases affect your fitness level, adding another layer of complexity to your survival journey.
