About the Game

🚁Helicopter drop-off. 🥩 Survive. ⬆️ Upgrade. ♾️ Repeat.

Live the life of an enthusiastic bush-crafter!

Survival Mode | Sandbox Mode | Co-op multiplayer up to 4 friends

Use primitive resources such as logs, bark and moss to build bushcraft shelters, protecting you from the frigid cold of the night. Read the Bushcraft Guide to become a master crafter and builder in this harsh climate.

  • 🔨 Shelter coverage is dynamically calculated in Bushcraft Survival. Insulate and protect yourself on all sides.

  • 💧 Getting wet in freezing temperatures can be a life sentence!

  • 🔥 Set a fire near your shelter to dry off your clothes and get some feeling back in your fingers.

Don't wait. Start collecting branches, firewood, and moss immediately!

  • 🪵 Only carry what you can hold. Carry limits and backpack weight must be respected.

  • 🗡️ Tool sharpness is critical to keep an eye on. Blunt tools are prone to breaking.

  • 🐟 Fish, trap and hunt. Cook on an open fire to rid your food of pathogens and avoid getting sick.

Co-op mode: collecting resources is faster with a friend.

The core loop of the game is to survive. But going beyond survival, you will want to master your craft and acquire new tools.

  • 🏠 Upgrade the Skill Tree to access new tools, then grab them from the ski lodge to use on your next run!

  • 💪 Get additional perks, like increased efficiency, tool resiliency and reduced operation time.

Complete day and night cycle.

Bushcraft Survival is a passion project made by a solo developer from a small province in Canada called Newfoundland. The core of this game comes from the developer's lived experience growing up in rural Canada: trekking through the snow, building tree houses and cabins with friends, and tagging along for hunting and fishing expeditions.
