About the Game

Damned Cold is a twin-stick shooter where you play as a prisoner of war trying to escape their captors through killing cold in a reactive diesel-punk world.

Each run through can take as little as a few minutes once paths are learned, and enemies and traps figured out - but unlockable modifiers will demand additional objectives be met before an escape attempted - and powerful new equipment and vehicles can be unlocked to help in those attempts.

One-Shot One-Kill

Quick and deadly twin-stick shooter combat where any one bullet, arc of electricity or landmine could mean instant death.

2 Minutes in and out

Learn the map, the enemies and the traps - and escape in minutes. Once you've figured out the basics, come back and accomplish a variety of optional objectives.

Killing Cold

Keep your temperature up any way you can, or freeze to death.

Escalating Challenge

Escaping isn't the end - steal a tank, start a prison riot or commandeer a zeppelin. Multiple paths and objectives offer a variety of options with each play through.

History Re-imagined

A world war 2 inspired diesel-punk setting, where tesla weapons and walking tanks are common-place.
