THE QUICK INTRODUCTION

What’s it all about?

A useful resource in Don’t Starve can still be a dangerous distraction if darkness is approaching. Gathering, crafting and exploration have to fit around the immediate need for food and light. Hunger, health and sanity make survival a set of connected pressures rather than a single bar to refill.

The world does not explain every consequence in advance. Observe creatures and materials before treating an unfamiliar area as a dependable source of supplies. A failed attempt can end the run, making preparation and knowledge valuable on the next start. This is the single-player release; Don’t Starve Together is a separate multiplayer game with its own store listing.

Your kind of game if…

You enjoy survival planning and learning a world through consequential mistakes.
