You govern the final city on a frozen Earth, managing its people and its infrastructure as society tries to survive. Cold, scarcity and tough moral choices push the city toward its breaking point.
Frostpunk is billed as a society survival game, and free updates have added an Endless Mode, a scenario called The Fall of Winterhome, character naming and a photo mode, with three paid expansions available. It is a single-player game from 11 bit studios, suited to city-builders who like grim decisions and the question of who their leader becomes.
