About the Game

Even at the end of the world, life goes on.

You are the sole settler remaining in a collapsed city. "Nine Winters" is a cozy, semi-idle survival game where you transform a single remaining shelter amidst grey ruins into your very own warm home.

Every day, search the city to gather resources, then return to tend to your home. Upgrade a worn-out mattress to a cozy double bed, and a simple tin stove to a cast-iron fireplace. This cold room becomes warm only through your touch.

  • Cat Companion: Let the stray cat in, pet it, and survive the long winters together.

  • Nine Winters: Seasons pass, but winter comes nine times—each deeper and harsher than the last.

  • Cozy Rhythm: Send out explorations, unbox loot, and customize your home piece by piece.

  • Signals in the Dark: Send a signal across the darkness. How will the world answer in your ninth winter?

The outside world may be frozen, but tonight, this room is warm.
