Feeling Traitorous? Project Winter Launches Feb 7th

January 16, 2019 - Other Ocean Interactive confirmed its online-multiplayer game of teamwork and betrayal, Project Winter, will launch in Early Access, February 7, 2019. View the adventure of survival and deceit in Project Winter’s new launch trailer . Other Ocean Interactive’s development team will be hosting a one time open beta from February 1-3rd, 2019. Sign up is available at projectwinter.co.

Project Winter is an 8-person, multiplayer game focused on social deception and survival where players are randomly assigned to the role of Traitor or Survivor. Players must gather resources, repair structures, and brave the wilderness together - but beware of traitors within the group who will be steadily gaining strength as the match progresses and whose only goal is to stop the survivors by any (and often hilarious) means necessary. Communication and teamwork are essential to the survivors’ ultimate goal of escape.

“Project Winter is a unique meld of two of our favourite types of games - Social Deception and Survival. You have to work together to survive, but be wary enough to pick out the traitors among your group” explains Ryan Hale, Studio Head, Other Ocean interactive. “We have had an active community to assist in developing this unique aspect. We are inviting anyone who wants to help in the final open beta test to join us Feb 1-3rd as we open the servers for one last test before Early Access release.” said Hale.

Project Winter will release into early access on the Steam Store, Humble Bundle, and Greenman Gaming ​for Windows PC, with controller support for USD 19.99. The game was developed in St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador with valued support from the Canada Media Fund.

Key Features

• Survive & Escape in this 8-person multiplayer game of Teamwork & Betrayal.
• Escape to Survive - As a survivor amongst a group of strangers, you will have to collect resources, battle the elements and complete a series of tasks to call in one of several rescue vehicles.
• Hidden Roles - Amongst the group of survivors lurk hidden traitors. The traitors are known to each other but not the survivors. Their goal is to stop the survivors from escaping without being identified and killed.
• Teamwork - Survivors cannot escape unless they work together. Players who wander off on their own will have difficulty surviving the elements, can fall victim to hostile wildlife, or become easy targets for the traitors.
• Communication - There are several ways to communicate with other players, including proximity-based voice chat, private voice chat radio channels, text chat, and emotes - communication is vital if the survivors have any hope of completing their tasks and defending against the traitors.
• Betrayal & Deception - The traitors are outnumbered and weak when the game begins, they may infiltrate the survivors and earn their trust while they build up their strength. Survivors can never be 100% sure of who to trust. The traitors can take advantage of this by spreading lies and setting the survivors against each other.
