The Coldest Winter is a psychological horror adventure where making choices becomes active gameplay.

Guide Jovanna Peña, a hardened New Yorker facing an unnatural winter, as she encounters unpredictable characters and uncovers the truth behind the cold.

Your decisions matter, but carrying them out means working with Jovanna’s own instincts, emotions, and limits.

Concept shown. Final designs may change.

Two cursors. One difficult decision.

Your cursor represents you. Jovanna’s cursor represents her. Synchronize with her to navigate difficult choices under pressure, uncertainty, and incomplete information.

Feel the pressure through your cursor

Fear, cold, and injury affect how Jovanna responds. Her cursor can become slower, less accurate, resistant, or erratic. Each decision asks you to adapt to what she is experiencing and what she is willing or able to do.

For creators who enjoy psychological horror and narrative games, these moments offer a question to explore with your audience: what happens when you and the protagonist don’t agree?

Find the means to survive

The Survival Kit gives you tools to help manage those challenges. Try Deep Breath in the demo: slow the environment and temporarily relieve Jovanna’s stress effects as you guide her through difficult decisions.
