The crew at Many A True Nerd did a really nice Let's Play video of the game. If you're curious what playing Near Death is like, this video does an excellent job of explaining the mechanics and the overall tension and gameplay experience. Highly recommended for those who want to know more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czPLK1jIPj4

Features

• Unique gameplay suited to the harsh realities of a frigid, dark continent. Create light trails to mark your way in zero-visibility storms. Melt frozen doors and obstacles to explore the base in search of supplies. Find temporary warmth with your portable heater. These are just some of the abilities you’ll use while exploring and escaping Sutro Station.
  
• A dynamic weather system that uses snow, wind, temperature, lighting, and more to create a multitude of Antarctic conditions ranging from brief moments of calm to raging winds and blinding whiteouts.
  
• A realtime temperature simulation that dynamically freezes and thaws the environment room by room, based on exposure to the elements, building layout, and the base’s power system. As the player, you’ll repair damaged areas and protect them from the elements to create pockets of safety and expand your reach.
