The glacier doesn't negotiate. It doesn't slow down. And it doesn't care how many of your people you've already lost.
Winter Hunts Us is a turn-based survival roguelite set in the Ice Age. Lead your tribe south across a brutal hex map — scavenge for food, face impossible choices, and watch your people age, fall ill, and die. Every run tells a different story. None of them are easy.
Every turn is a decision. Will you gather supplies, tend to the wounded, develop new technologies, strengthen your people's faith — or venture into the unknown? Your tribe evolves with each expedition: members gain roles, traits, and scars, and new discoveries can forge a stronger, more resilient community.
Not every threat can be avoided. Tactical turn-based combat awaits on the road south, where your tribe's composition, positioning, timing, and abilities all determine who lives and who doesn't. Strength alone won't save you. You'll need to adapt, improvise, and live with the consequences of your choices.
