The Quiet Cold

Gather fuel, build shelter, and keep your fires burning. Warmth keeps you alive, but it may attract roaming Giants. Save downed allies before the cold takes them, or something may rise from their bodies...

About the Game

Fire is life. Warmth is a risk.

The Quiet Cold is a co-op voxel survival game set in an endless frozen wilderness. Keep your fire burning, build shelter against the cold, and work together to reach the beacon while the frost, and what it leaves behind, hunts the living.

Survive together

  • 2–4 player online co-op via Steam

  • Gather resources, craft tools, build shelter, and maintain your camp

  • Manage warmth, hunger, and environmental hazards

  • Enter a downed state instead of dying instantly, allies can revive you before the cold claims you

  • Explore a world filled with structures, secrets, and dangers

  • Complete a journey from the prison camp to the beacon

The cold never stops

  • Explore an endless voxel world across multiple biomes

  • Dynamic weather, fog, wind, and environmental threats

  • Fires provide safety, visibility, and warmth, but may attract unwanted attention

  • Giants react to heat and activity, turning survival decisions into risks

  • Atmospheric survival without intrusive countdown timers

Early Access

The Quiet Cold is currently in Early Access.

The core survival experience is already playable, including co-op multiplayer, exploration, crafting, building, objectives, giants, and Hollowkin encounters. Development will continue throughout Early Access as systems are expanded, refined, and balanced based on community feedback.
