Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 24 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
You're lost in a vast forest — but your partner is firing flares to guide you.
Stay alert — it’s easy to get lost in the vast woods.
Along the way, you'll face many challenges — the cold and the Wendigo are waiting.
Fire is your only friend — and the Wendigo's enemy. But unfortunately, it doesn’t last forever.
If your torch is out, loot matches to reignite campfires.
Campfires not only keep you warm — they reignite your torch and your chances.
Once the torch goes out, stay quiet… or he'll hear you.
Too long without heat, and the cold kills you.
Out here, there are no second chances.
So…
15–60 minutes (or longer, if survival proves difficult).
Each playthrough is slightly different.
Voice acting (English).
No save points.
Reacts to real-life microphone input.

Short and sweet! It seems really difficult at first, but very learnable. Definitely wear headphones for this, as audio cues are the most important thing for avoiding the Wendigo and finding safe spots. The atmospheric elements are incredible and are easily the best part. There's not a ton to it, but it's a good way to kill an hour or so, or more if you want to look for the notes. Biggest advice for those having difficulty: When following the flares, offset your path to the left. If you go straight, you'll eventually hit the base of a mountain, and in the endgame there's a lack of safe areas immediately beneath it.
A pretty neat little horror experience that's absolutely worth a few bucks, in my opinion. The atmosphere is great. The mechanics are simple and clean and easy to understand. The audio is pretty decent overall and so are the visuals. Basically, you get exactly what you see in the trailer; no more, no less. If that's your thing, this will be a good time. You can beat it in an hour or so, but it's worth keeping around and doing a run every now and then for a little spooky experience. That all said, I'm very biased. I love what I call 'winter horror' and I don't feel there is enough of it. I also love anything that has to do with the wendigo. So, take that all as you will.

this game is bad i tell you why first the wendigo can just one tap you and the torch you have is bad because when you scare the wendigo it just kills and the game walking simulator dont play this bad game
"He kissed your forehead before ripping it open." huh what, but yeah this game is actually pretty fire, furthest i got was like 66&. This game has to be trending. Note: ended up escaping under 15minutes and 10 seconds.
Весьма простая, но работающая игра. Ты в холодном лесу, рядом бродит вендиго. Твоя задача: спастись от него пройдя приличное расстояние до ближайшей точки эвакуации. При этом персонажу холодно, нужно согреваться чтобы не замерзнуть насмерть, желательно не шуметь, ибо вендиго реагирует на звук, но при этом он боится огня, можешь отгонять. И это работает, сюжета как такового нет, но он тут и не нужен, а геймплей: вот он. Напряжение есть, атмосфера тоже. Итог: неплохой работающий мини хоррор.
An amazing game.. Although couldn't finish it lol, you should definitely play this https://youtu.be/LVczbH938hI?si=l1KZL0RaO-3O-J7F
Heat or Die — игра на один вечер. Поставлю низкую оценку, потому что с самого начала тебе дают факел, где-то вдали запускают сигнальную ракету, но никто ничего не объясняет — просто бери и беги. Из-за этого первые минуты вызывают больше недоумение, чем интерес. Как-то всё слишком просто и не цепляет. Оценка: 3/10 (РУС)
Fun
Игра класс, как говорится на все бабки. Куплено за 120 рубликов Атмосфера 8\10 Сильно страшным хоррор не является но свою задачу делает. Проходится быстро не успев надоесть. Люителям атмосферных игр рекомендую.
Good game its fun and the wendigo was cool wish there was a game where you can play as the wendigo
