## About Project Winter

Project Winter is an 8-player social deduction and survival game developed by Other Ocean Interactive, released in 2019 at $9.99. The game combines hidden objectives, role-based strategy, and survival challenges where players must coordinate as a team while navigating deception. Set in a harsh winter environment, players work together to complete tasks and reach extraction, but traitors hidden among them create constant uncertainty. Reviewers highlight the immersive sound design and note that tactical positioning matters when suspicion and paranoia mount. The game is verified for Steam Deck, supports online co-op, and has earned an 87% positive rating from over 4,700 Steam reviews. Players describe the experience as stressful and tense, with the challenging difficulty and medium-length sessions lending themselves to focused sit-down play.
