Overview

About this game

You're lost in a vast forest — but your partner is firing flares to guide you.

Stay alert — it’s easy to get lost in the vast woods.

Along the way, you'll face many challenges — the cold and the Wendigo are waiting.

Fire is your only friend — and the Wendigo's enemy. But unfortunately, it doesn’t last forever.

If your torch is out, loot matches to reignite campfires.

Campfires not only keep you warm — they reignite your torch and your chances.

Once the torch goes out, stay quiet… or he'll hear you.

Too long without heat, and the cold kills you.

Out here, there are no second chances.

So…
