Tempest

About

Tempest is a survival RPG where you play as Erik, a father in a remote Swedish cabin during a brutal blizzard. Your goal is to scavenge firewood to keep your young daughter Linn warm as temperatures drop dangerously low. Each trip outside exposes you to hypothermia, icy terrain, and limited visibility. You balance risk versus reward while managing dwindling resources and time before the cold becomes fatal. The game’s stark atmosphere and emotional stakes set it apart. The relentless wind and isolation create constant tension, amplified by the urgency of protecting Linn. Though brief, the experience feels intense, with a focus on realistic survival mechanics and environmental storytelling. A niche title that leaves a strong impression despite its short runtime.
