Dead in Vinland Redefines the Fight for Survival, Out Now on PC and Mac from Playdius and CCCP
Fight, Ration, and Explore the Unknown Island’s Beautifully Hand-painted Landscapes in this Survival Story-driven Management RPG
Paris — April 12, 2018 – French Developer CCCP and global independent games publisher Playdius today announced the launch of Dead in Vinland, available to download and purchase today on Windows PC and Mac for $19.99 USD/ €19.99 Euro with a launch week discount of 10% on Steam, GOG, and Origin until Thursday, April 19 at 10:00 AM PDT. Dead in Vinland pulls from many genres with survival management systems and RPG and adventure elements, with a focus on player choice.
Protagonist Eirik finds himself exiled from his home as he and his family struggle to survive in the new faraway land they call home. Help the Viking family survive and thrive as they run into one hazard after another. Manage their physical and mental health, explore the island, organize your camp and choose wisely when meeting hostile and friendly neighbors on the island. Discover some of the esoteric mysteries in Vinland — ones that could save your life… or lead to your own demise.
“We’re overjoyed to release at last our little baby after 2 years of intense development! We can’t wait to see how players will struggle to survive and see the end of this journey into Hell, and what strategies they will discover that even ourselves weren’t aware of,” said Matthieu Richez, CEO of CCCP and Lead Game Designer. “We’ll offer a good beer to the first player who reaches the end of the game in hard + true Viking mode… Good luck!“
