The Developer Says...

You find yourself helpless in front of the unforgiving Siberian wilderness without any food or equipment. In an attempt to find a way out of the island, you are forced to embark on a dangerous journey that will test your survival capabilities beyond your imagination.
There is no manual to show you how to survive. Your success depends on getting out there and using all your abilities to master necessary wilderness survival skills.

- Survival Mode: Survival is your only goal, and death is your biggest impediment. Will you live to fight another day?
- Choices & Outcomes: Keeping your stats under control is crucial. Not keeping your Hunger, Hydration, Body Temperature and Energy in balance can have repercussions on your in-game Sanity.
- Only the strongest can survive: In Northern Lights you will find a wide range of activities you can do. Be ready to hunt, fish, scavenge for food and gear items, start fires, craft items, and most importantly, endure the harsh environment with its predators and the variety of possibly deadly afflictions you could contract.
- Be the hunter or become hunted: Diverse wildlife, ranging from ferocious predators such as Bears and Wolves to non-threatening animals such as Reindeer, Moose, Foxes, Boars and Hares.
- A broad and animated world: A beautiful yet frightening island that contains a delicate balance between pure nature and an abandoned world composed of a variety of locations.
- Pick your challenge: You can choose between four difficulty scenarios, made for every kind of player, from beginners who want to explore the world in peace to skilled survivors who wish to experience a hardcore challenge.
