Fade to Silence is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure survival game developed by Black Forest Games and published by THQ Nordic, released for Windows in April 2019. Set in a frozen world ravaged by endless winter, players take on the role of Ash, a determined leader struggling to survive against brutal weather, monstrous creatures, and scarce resources in a hostile landscape.
The game combines survival mechanics — like gathering supplies, managing temperature, building and upgrading refuge structures, and recruiting followers — with exploration across sprawling snowy terrain. As you venture into the wasteland, you must scavenge for materials, fend off eldritch beings, and make strategic decisions to keep both yourself and your followers alive. Fade to Silence also includes cooperative play, allowing a friend to join your fight for survival. It received mixed reviews, with praise for its atmospheric world and survival elements, though some critics noted issues with gameplay depth and performance.
