Lost Phantom / Games / Winter Is Here

Winter Is Here In development

A tower-defence base-builder in a frozen, emptied-out world, seen from above. Your keep holds the west edge; the infected come out of the east. By day you chop, mine and build β€” by night everyone sleeps except whatever you built to fight.

What it is

The load-bearing rule: the infected will detour a couple of tiles around what you build β€” build too greedy, and they stop walking and start chewing. So a wall is never a "no", it is a toll, and the game is deciding where to charge it. Built in Unity for mobile and PC; the browser prototype below is the same loop, playable right now.

Where it is now

Honestly: mid-development, and this page describes what exists in the project rather than a wish list.

Screenshots

A working camp at day: houses, lumber camp, workshop, walls and towers under light snowfall
Day: the camp works β€” woodcutters out at the treeline, the mine lit, walls going up.
A blizzard night: infected at the wall line, towers firing, visibility down
A blizzard night: they hit the wall line while your towers see 20% less.

Playable prototype

The core loop, running in your browser: gather by day, hold by night, and find out how the wall rule actually feels.

Pixel art

The full generated sprite set β€” survivors and infected with complete animation cycles, winter buildings, weapons, items, effects and tiles. The animations play on the page.

Player guide

Build by day, hold by night β€” the wall rule, the resource chain, and tips for surviving the deeper nights.

Devlog

What changed, what is being built, and why β€” written up from the studio.

One email when there is something to play, and maybe one for a test. Nothing else, ever.
