With some more impeccable pixel artwork, Wild n Chill has been revealed by Cast n Chill developer Wombat Brawler giving you another cozy casual experience. This time around you can bring some friends with you for the ride.

Their first game managed to get a Very Positive rating on Steam from over 7,000 user reviews so they did really well with it. I expect this next one will be quite popular too, especially with the resurgence of co-op games we've seen recently. But being a survival game with more of a casual focus is certainly interesting, with you setting the pace of it to build yourself a nice little cabin while out in the sticks. How thoroughly lovely.

Some Highlights:

Survive the Wild

Keep an eye on your food, water, and energy while livin’ off the land. Catch fish, gather berries, chop wood, set traps, and hunt for supper while the wilderness tries its best to keep ya humble.

Most critters’ll leave ya be... but bears and wolves ain’t exactly known for their manners.

Meet the Locals

There’s a couple strange ol’ hermits livin’ deep in the wilderness. Friendly enough... once they stop starin’ at ya.

Bring ‘em the right supplies and they might just trade ya somethin’ special.

Play Solo or With Ya Pals

Grab a few buddies and build a life together in online co-op for up to 4 players.

Split up the chores however ya like. One friend hunts while another fishes, someone gathers firewood, and the fella who “knows carpentry” accidentally puts the window in backwards again.

Build Yer Dream Cabin

Start with nothin’ but cold hands and bad ideas, then slowly turn the wilderness into home sweet home.

Craft shelters, cabins, smokehouses, wood sheds, traps, food stores, hunting hides and more. Discover new buildin’ styles as ya explore deeper into the wild.

Explore Untamed Wilderness

From salty coastlines and muddy marshes to thick rainforests and snowy mountain peaks, there’s 11 unique regions to discover, each packed with wildlife, fish, hidden resources and quiet little spots worth sittin’ a spell in.

Live Off the Land

Track game through the brush, stalk massive elk through the trees, drop a line in a peaceful river, or live entirely off gatherin’, if huntin’ ain’t your thing.

However ya survive, nature tends to reward folks who pay attention.

Trusty Companion

A good dog’s worth more than a fancy rifle out here.

Your loyal companion can help retrieve game, warn ya about danger nearby, and curl up by the fire after a long day in the wilderness. Probably smells worse than the bears, but don't we all out here.

Discover the Wild

Track and discover over 40 animal species and catch 20+ fish species as you fill out your wilderness journal.

Some critters are common as dirt. Others? Well... folks around the campfire still argue whether they’re even real.
