What is CryoFall?

CryoFall is a top-down, open-world survival game set on a desolate planet that once held a colony. You gather resources, craft equipment, farm, and expand a base while advancing from primitive tools to industrial technology. You can play alone or with others on PvE or PvP servers.

For you if...

+you enjoy working with friends on a shared base
+you like progressing from basic crafting to industrial production
+you want a noncompetitive PvE survival option

Not for you if...

−you dislike repeated resource gathering during long progression
−you want to manage colonists rather than one survivor
−you prefer structured levels over open-world survival
