A short path through the wiki before you freeze outside.
- 1
Save before you dig far
There is no reliable autosave. Read the getting started guide, then save at base after every scrap dump so a freeze does not wipe an hour of tunnels.
- 2
Upgrade close to Kai first
Snow hardens as you leave the campfire. Collect nearby scrap and cans, then follow the shovel upgrade planner before you tunnel toward the radio tower.
- 3
Learn the landmarks
Jump, use binoculars, and match the in-game map so you stop digging in circles. The map hub and the old house page list the bus, outdoor charms, and other buried buildings.
- 4
Survive wolves and night
Death to wolves barely costs progress, but freezing outside unlocks Lost to the Cold. The survival guide covers night, glow sticks, and Day 2/3 stalls.
- 5
Chase both endings later
Finish Ending A, then use the Kai guide, documents page, endings checklist, and achievement tracker for Ending B, paper, charms, and patron contents.
