DEAD IN VINLAND is a survival/management game, mixed with RPG and adventure elements, about a Viking family trying their best to survive on a mysterious island.
Exiled on a faraway and unknown land, lead Eirik and his family on their quest to survive.
Manage their physical and mental health, explore the island, organize your camp and deal with other human beings. Some will help you, and some will be less... friendly.
Unveil the esoteric mysteries of Vinland. They could save your life… or lead you to your demise.
KEY FEATURES
Deep survival management simulation: find and gather resources, secure a supply of food, take care of the mental and physical health of your characters, fight diseases and wounds, ration your water supplies, endure the elements (storm, drought, rain…).
Challenging: the game is turn-based so you have time to take the best decisions, but the challenge is high! You’ll have to adapt to the crisis the game throws at you, with your own reasoning.
3 modes of difficulty: if you just want to enjoy the story, we added an easy mode and, for the crazy lunatics, we added both an extreme difficulty and iron man mode, that even the developers of the game can’t beat!
Build your camp: expand your shelter with 18 activity stations, each one with its own mechanics. Craft more than 130 upgrades and dozens of items to give you precious bonuses. Choose well, you won’t be able to craft everything.
Manage a community: 14 playable characters, each one with their own strengths, flaws and stories. Influence how their relationships evolve with meaningful dialog choices, achieve one of the 7 possible romances or kick annoying characters from your camp and recruit new ones. And some surprises!
Explore the island: 150 areas to discover with hundreds of objects to interact with. Unveil the many secrets of the island and its beautiful, hand-painted landscapes.
Don’t just survive, settle: you can hunt, harvest, fish… but you can also grow a garden and breed sheep! Advanced camp stations with special mechanics.
Live your own adventure: complete 70 non-linear quests to reach the end of the game. Depending on your choices, learn about what happened to your characters after the end.
Animosity and tribute system: be “welcomed” by the infamous tyrant Björn Headcleaver and his merry band of robbers. Bend the knee and pay him weekly tributes, or rebel… and face the consequences.
Full RPG system: 5 health states to care for, 20 skills to develop, more than 600 character traits, 100 items to collect, 30 diseases and 20 wounds to die from… Customize your characters: choose from 5 randomly generated special traits every time they level up.
Turn-based tactical combat: quick and deadly 3 vs 3 battles against Björn’s minions. 5 unique playable character classes, each with its own set of fighting skills, and 5 passive classes.
HUGE content: more than 150 000 words - twice the size of the first Harry Potter book - telling a mature yet humorous story.
DEAD IN VINLAND is the second installment in the “Dead In…” universe, after DEAD IN BERMUDA. The two games are standalones, but you’ll learn a bit more about the secrets behind these strange islands and the general background in each game of the series.

I haven't managed to win Dead in Vinlland yet. That hasn't stopped me from trying. I don't even play it on the harder stettings, but then I'm not playing it on the easiest either.
I like the overall quality of the game. The graphics are good, the writing is good and I have not met any bugs or even glitches. Unfortunately after a few hours I realized I did not enjoy playing it anymore.
Maybe the team was so successful capturing the state of futility and tragedy that you start to feel the same way. Somehow every achievement leads to a new problem and I have not found a way to catch a breath. For example you need to collect wood but as soon as you have it you will have to give up large parts of it. So you collect more wood. But the more is being collected without a break the more exausting it gets working in the logging camp. That results in higher negative modifiers and possibly death. So you send an exausted worker to have some rest. But because he is resting he gets bored. Which results in additional negative modifiers. After a while you are juggling storage, buildings, battles, natural resources and character modifiers so much that the game progression itself becomes very slow. You take ten steps forward and nine back over and over again. After some time it also became exausting for me.
Maybe the game is more fun if you buy the expansions. Also it may be possible to set the difficulty (which offers one of the best custom modes I have seen so far) to a more appropriate level but I am not sure if I will try either of those.
Played the original game for more than 100 hours in Steam and going to buy the full package with endless mode here. Randomization might be a bit annoying, but the graphics music and atmosphere bought it for me :)
Fun survival game for me, played this in a bundle and its a very nice game, with choices who do you help and what do you do with them and some battles and exploration. I had alot of laughs when playing this was funny humour and good difficult from time to time.
