Survival Snippets #46
It feels like it's been Halloween forever.
❗ Noteworthy
As we creep closer to Halloween - and Steam’s Halloween sale- more and more developers are activating their Halloween events and loot. (Like these neat State of Decay 2 outfits.)
Survive the Nights trick-or-treat event looks terrifying.
Maybe even some Halloween stuff for The Infected?
Less than 10 hours to go to back Endzone 2 on Kickstarter!

▻ Changed the Substack About page to a new onboarding list to help folks out when navigating our content.
▻ I’m still trudging through my work on the new game directory. You can view the work-in-progress database at this link. THIS IS A NEW LINK. I went ahead and deactivated incomplete cards, so it looks empty but the cards available are complete.
Feedback is incredibly welcome, so hop into the comments or contact me on Discord.
▻ If you’re part of our Discord (and you really should be), don’t forget to tell me if you’re a Substack subscriber so I can give you your role!
▻ Speaking of subscribers, I want to welcome all the new faces brought here by SnowBee’s awesome shoutout (timestamped link) in his most recent video. Did you know we featured SnowBee a few weeks ago in our Acquired Tastes article?
▻ The Curator lists have been axed from the page until the Notion game database is complete. At that point, I’ll sit and reorganize everything.
⏳ Sales 💰
Check the full list on our Curator page.
👍 Pick up - Starsand, Subsistence, HumanitZ, theHunter: Call of the Wild
👎 Avoid- Erzurum (EVEN FOR 50 CENTS), Under the Water (Scam), Inmate Survival (Abandoned), Bermuda Lost Survival (I’m torn, some folks like it, but they’re closing down the studio and folks tell me the game exists in a kinda buggy state.)

New Releases
In theory, ARK: Survival Ascended will be released in the next few hours, but I’ll be asleep. So enjoy your dinos!
(Steam Store)The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria was released as an Epic exclusive, if that’s your jam.
(Epic Game Store)
Delays!
Just the stuff we’ve previously announced.
Kickstarter Updates
Browsing Kickstarter as always. Cruach seems...interesting. I mean, is there anyone who isn’t interested in seeing exactly how they pull off a “Survival Horror Extraction game set in 19th Century Ireland”? And then there’s Scorching Desert, which takes place *checks notes* in a desert, but also has ‘ various different biomes’.
Otherwise, waiting on a handful of other pages to launch- Moonhaven, Groenland, Escape from Nuclear Winter, and Feudal Lands.
