Frostpunk puts you in charge of a small group trying to survive in an endless winter. Your city starts around a towering generator. People need somewhere warm to sleep, food to eat, medical care when they fall ill, and enough coal to keep the heat running. The game is a city builder, but every building depends on the people and resources available to run it.

The screen shows your current temperature, supplies and the people who are available to work. Select a workplace to assign workers or engineers; simply placing a building does not make it useful. The heat map colours buildings by temperature, letting you see which homes and workplaces are too cold. The Book of Laws asks you to make choices about daily life, while exploration later takes scouts beyond the city for supplies and survivors. These systems connect: a colder workplace can lead to illness, leaving fewer people to collect the coal that keeps the generator burning.
11 bit studios developed and published Frostpunk for PC on April 24, 2018. Console versions came later. This page covers the original game, not Frostpunk 2. The screenshots show an established city and its interface so you can recognise the generator, workplace panel, heat map, laws and exploration screen.
