CAMP SOLO OR WITH FRIENDS

A TRUE CAMPING SURVIVAL EXPERIENCE

One week turns into several as you suspect your guide is never coming back. Deserted, you discover you are trapped and now an unwilling lab rat. Can you survive an ever changing, artificial environment and it's inhabitants?

BRAVE THE ELEMENTS

Manage health, hydration, hunger, fatigue, and temperature. Use your survival skills and earn badges as you learn new ones. Outlast nature and uncover the perils of what lies beneath the surface.

EVOLVING SEASONS

The world shifts with time. Hunt in the abundance of summer, forage in the dying colors of fall, and fight for warmth in the frozen quiet of winter. Find your way through increasingly harsh environments and outsmart your captors to survive and escape.

THE WALL

Discover a mysterious barrier dividing the forest. Solve environmental puzzles, sneak past security patrols, or piece together scavenged tech to bring it down your own way.

Voice-over: English. Interface and subtitles: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Japanese, Китайский (упр.), Испанский (Латинская Америка), Portuguese (Brazil).

What is a Steam gift and how is it different from a key?

A gift is a present our bot sends straight to your Steam account via your profile link: no code to enter, the game appears in your library once you accept the gift. A key is an activation code you enter yourself in the Steam client.

Which gift region should I choose?

The one your Steam account is registered in: Steam will not accept a gift from another region. The region is shown in your Steam account settings under "Store country". "CIS countries" means Belarus, Armenia, Georgia and other CIS countries.

How will I receive the gift?

After payment you enter a link to your Steam profile and the bot sends the gift straight to the account — you only need to accept it in Steam. It usually takes 2–5 minutes, around the clock.

What if the account already has this game?

Steam will not let you accept a gift of a game already in your library — check the library before buying. If it happens, write in the order chat: we will refund you.
