Project Winter

Project Winter features a mix of survival and social deduction game mechanics. A single lobby consists of 5-8 players, the majority of whom are survivors. The survivors must search the map for bunkers and similar structures, containing parts required to fix objectives, as well as gear to strengthen themselves. The game also uses a crafting system as an alternative to scavenging.

There are a variety of objectives, each requiring a different method to be fixed (some need parts, others do not). In order to win, the survivors must locate and repair two objectives and call for help within 30 minutes.

Project Winter has received "generally favorable" reviews on Metacritic. Due to its social deduction-based nature, many reviews nearing the console release in 2021 compared it to the game Among Us.

Screen Rant rated the game at 3.5/5 stars, stating "While Project Winter has many fun features, [...] there is a lot going on during a round, and at times, the balancing act of wilderness survival, social deduction, puzzle solving and team communication can roll into an overwhelming blur." Other reviewers have praised the game's "unique" concept and "impressive depth", but were also critical of problems within the community. Nintendo Life commented, "we were often met with the kind of racist and sexist troll behaviour that should have been left behind in the 2000s, which is, admittedly, not Project Winter's fault, but it did colour our experience."
