Impact Winter is a truly desolate game, with many interlocked systems that present players with challenging choices to make. It really is too bad that everything doesn’t work well together, and that the other characters are more cumbersome than helpful. - Drew@EB

To make things worse, supplies are now limited. At present five survivors are still alive within the confines of an abandoned church and they are looking to you to help them survive. Without serious help the end of their life, and yours, is just around the corner. Then out of nowhere a small robot known only as Ako-Light springs to life and broadcasts a weak yet mysterious transmission - in 30 days help will arrive, and you and your group of survivors will be taken to safety. Will you be able to survive the cold, harsh wintry conditions to make the most of the precious resources to ensure everyone makes it out alive, or will you be the latest victim of the apocalypse?
That’s the situation at hand in Impact Winter."
Freddrock absolutely loved the game This War of Mine. The story was intriguing, he felt empathetic with the characters, the places you scavenged created suspenseful and heart-stopping moments, and the decisions you needed to make had drastic consequences on what happened throughout the game. He saw the game Impact Winter as another game that would repeat this... it did not.
