Winds of the North

Winds of the North is a 1-player sandbox campaign game, a cross between a settlement-building game and a survival adventure game. You begin with a small farm, some silver, and a few starting animals. Your only real goals are to survive and somehow become a Viking King or Queen. Along the way, you are free to do just about anything you want. Here are some of the things you’ll be able to do:

Fish
Hunt
Adventure over land and seas
Plant and harvest crops
Gather wood and ore
Expand your farm
Craft items
Hawk goods and items at local markets
Deliver orders to distant market towns
Attend seasonal festivals
Go raiding

Medieval Hardships

A major aspect of the game is keeping yourself and those under your command alive. Winters are harsh, food can run short, meat spoils, people of your household and your livestock can get sick, and anyone, including you, can die. The Viking Age is an unforgiving period and only the strongest can survive.
