Project Winter review

Project Winter is the pick for groups who find pure voting games too static. Eight players are stranded in a frozen wilderness; survivors gather resources and repair objectives to call a rescue vehicle, while traitors work together to sabotage and kill them. The Steam page describes Project Winter 2.0: Cabin Fever as a faster, streamlined version for new players, with the harder Classic mode still available. That makes it a werewolf game in structure, with the hidden team acting during play instead of only at night. It lists cross-platform multiplayer, controller support and a modest 4 GB RAM minimum, and 86% of 4,744 English Steam reviews are positive. The list price is $9.99, and it was on sale for $1.99 when we checked in November 2026. The downsides: it needs a full group of eight to work well, it is online only, and the theme is winter survival rather than wolves.
