About the game
Find allies. Recruit. Resist. Conquer. Nearly 30 years before Breath of the Wild perfected open world, there was Midwinter. Mike Singleton's 1989 landmark, faithfully remastered — 160,000 square miles of frozen island, 32 survivors with 32 personalities, and an invading army to resist and destroy.

Midwinter's optional modern art mode uses character portraits, for both the playable characters and the enemy officers, that were produced with generative AI image tools during development. These are fixed image files included in the build; nothing is generated while you play.
