Game-play
No electricity. No machines. Only you, the brutal Canadian winter... And hope. To stay alive you will need to provide for yourself from what you can find. No rescue can be expected, not now. Nearby structures may still stand. Perhaps they are all abandoned; perhaps they still contain useful equipment. They definitely can provide shelter. And the woods. The woods are everywhere. You grew up with woods like these, you have fished waters like these. There is much that nature can provide. And take away.
Most important now is your health. It is only you, no one else. And you have needs. Food. And water. Where will you sleep? And what can be done to push back the constant, gnawing cold? All must be answered. By you.
With luck and determination you may find relief, even comfort, here in the new wilds. But there are other places to be. And there must be ways to get there. Explore. Search. Venture out. The world still exists. But how, and where, remain to be seen.
Stay healthy, stay alive.
Mitigate the needs of survival.
Navigate a threatening region.
And find your way in the new old world.
