About this game
Frozen Ship is an open-world survival game where you manage an entire city on wheels. Building, crafting, research, medicine, resource gathering, and hunting — you decide what your people will do and how your city will develop.
As the workday begins, you leave the ship alongside everyone else and set out to explore the frozen world. Gather resources, explore abandoned settlements, complete quests, and encounter other survivors.
A journey through cold, hunger, danger, political intrigue, and conflicts between settlements awaits you in a world that no longer forgives mistakes.
You are the captain of the ship.
After a global catastrophe that forever changed the planet's climate, you lead an expedition aboard a massive ship capable of crossing the endless snowy wastelands. There is a crew of 20 people, several buildings, supplies, and hope to find a new place to live. Every decision you make affects the fate of your crew and the outcome of the entire mission.
The Living and Dangerous World
Beyond the ship, you'll find a procedurally generated open world filled with dangers and stories:
Predators and deadly enemies
Hunting, searching for, and gathering resources
Firearms, diplomatic, and armed conflicts
Abandoned hospitals, shops, homes, railways, and entire cities
The world changes from game to game, creating new situations, routes, and challenges.
Settlements, Factions, and Conflicts
On your journey, you will encounter survivor settlements — small towns, each with their own rules, problems, and visions for the future.
Friendly and hostile settlements
Factions involved in prolonged conflicts and those simply trying to survive
Stories of survivors, lore, main and side quests
Will you align with a particular faction or try to maintain a balance between all of them — the choice is yours.
Your actions can shift the balance of power, determine the fate of entire communities, and perhaps influence the future of humanity.
Ship and Crew Management
Your ship is more than just a means of transport — it is a mobile base and home for the entire expedition:
Transform the ship into a living city with its own infrastructure
Build and upgrade buildings necessary for living and survival
Craft items and equipment
Research technologies
Enact laws and impose necessary restrictions
Assign crew members to work inside the ship or gather resources
Keep an eye on your crew’s well-being: illnesses, fatigue, fear, and faith in the expedition’s success — everything matters.
Trade and Survival
In the world of Frozen Ship, resources mean life:
Make deals to ensure survival
Sell found items
Buy rare gear and supplies
Complete quests for traders
Sometimes, a successful deal can save the expedition, while a mistake could lead to disaster.
Every decision you make impacts the fate of your crew.
Who to entrust the important tasks, who to send on dangerous expeditions, and how to keep the team united in the face of eternal cold — the choices are yours.
