In Fade to Silence, players survive as Ash, a natural leader who must battle monsters and extreme elements in a post-apocalyptic environment blanketed in an endless winter. The game's Early Access launch will introduce players to the concept of how a simple mission is more like a proper expedition.

The gameplay revolves around collecting materials, upgrading equipment, building your camp, and defending yourself against supernatural creatures. However, the environment is your biggest enemy because players will constantly struggle to traverse the dynamic snow which alters the landscape. Not only do you risk the chance of getting lost, but you may also not be able to see where you're going if there's a blizzard!
