In Cold Winter , you play as Andrew Sterling, a former member of MI6 who's caught and sentenced to prison. His life takes a turn when a friend from his past offers him a chance at redemption. The first task seems routine, but soon Andrew discovers he's part of a sinister plot by the Greywings organization.
Andrew must stop the plan from working and track down the Greywings, who are led by John Grey, a former anti-nuclear activist turned extremist. Their goal is to trigger a global nuclear war under controlled conditions. The fate of humanity rests on Andrew's shoulders as he navigates through treacherous terrain to reach the hidden bunker "Winterlong" in the Arctic.
In this first-person shooter, you can collect over 20 weapons to take down enemies. You'll need to strategically choose which ones to carry at a time, as you can only hold two. You can craft new items by combining existing ones, like turning a business card into a poisonous one. However, don't worry about finding health packs – you're equipped with an unlimited supply.
Combat in Cold Winter requires quick thinking and resourcefulness. Use objects like pots, chairs, or carts to block enemy paths or gain temporary cover. The game also features enemies that respond to alarms, change positions, and even call for backup. As the situation unfolds, your character's perceptions can become distorted due to stress.
The game uses flashbacks to provide context to the story, allowing you to piece together what led Andrew to this point. With multiple paths to progress through the narrative, Cold Winter offers a complex and engaging experience that demands attention and skill.

•

Primary Weapon
This is the weapon you are currently equipped with. The available ammo is in the lower right-hand corner.
Combined Items
You can see what combined items are available in a level by viewing the Recipe Cards in the in-game Pause Menu.
•
SELECT button
When you acquire a new component part for each combined item, the empty slots will fill in. For example: To create a Molotov cocktail, you need a rag, a bottle, and a fuel can.
In the menu at the beginning of a level where the Molotov is found, you will see the recipe card with an empty slot for each component part. As you acquire each part, the slots fill in.
Once you have all the parts, the New Item Available Indicator on your HUD will flash. Access the menu to quickly assemble the combined item.
•
Note: Some component parts can be used in different items. For example: Both Molotov Cocktails and Fire Bombs require fuel cans.
