Silent North is making waves as it arrives on Quest and Steam today with its early access alpha, offering a fresh take on the VR zombie survival genre. Created by Combat Waffle Studios, known for titles like Ghosts of Tabor and GRIM, and published by Beyond Frames Entertainment, this game transports players to the treacherous landscape of the Alps. Here, survival isn’t just about fending off the relentless winter chill and undead threats; it also includes contending with rival survivors while you scavenge for limited resources.
In this demanding setting, you’ll need to ensure you have enough food and warmth, all while raiding various villages for essentials. There’s even the option to partner up with other players if you choose. The day-night cycle adds a layer of strategy, offering the chance to sneak around under the cover of darkness or use daylight to spot adversaries from a distance.
The game’s debut comes on the heels of GRIM’s early access alpha launch last month. This VR multiplayer sandbox game, influenced by Rust, sees players battling for survival after an unsuccessful attempt at colonizing Mars. Jointly developed by Spoonfed Interactive and Combat Waffle Studios, GRIM has now progressed to its beta phase following numerous updates since its release.
Fans can dive into Silent North’s early access alpha on both Quest and Steam starting today.
