Winter Burrowdoesn’t stray from that formula–at least, not in its first 20 minutes.

From that setup, you set to work restoring the burrow.

And as is usually the case, you’re also managing gauges like hunger, exhaustion, and temperature.

Sitting by the fire and knitting is just a way of presenting a crafting menu, but it still is a cute and cozy one.

“Cozy” does not mean the game removes the usual stresses of a survival game, though.

What’s more, there’s no map available in Winter Burrow, at least in the early game.

The cold is surprisingly dangerous and definitely stressful.

The art style and presentation might suggest a more forgiving experience, but Winter Burrow can still be stressful.

Winter Burrow is a cute game, but it’s still a serious one.
