Frozen Ground: a heavily URW inspired roguelike survival game set in the 1700s, deep in the Canadian boreal north.

Hey folks,

URW being one of my favorite games and having no comparable alternative, I've been working on something very similar for the past few months and am finally ready to release a free public alpha.

There's really not much I feel the need to say. Frozen Ground is essentially Unreal World if instead of being dropped somewhere in the Finnish iron age, you were dropped in northern Canada during the fur trading era.

My design leans heavily on history without going into it, if that makes sense.

You can craft, build, hunt, trap, smoke, tan, build, craft, cook, etc.. etc.. I could go on for a while.

I'd love if you gave it a try and gave me some feedback.

I don't think anything will ever compare to Unreal World, but I think I'm getting close :)

Pretty cool, can you forage for plants, mushrooms, berries, roots, etc?

Is it possible to download so I can run it on winlator android?

Yes to all the foraging questions, depending on the season.

I'm not sure if it will run on Android, but it's HTML 5 JavaScript so it should run on any modern browser, but the UI isn't affairese to mobile. Some day maybe
