'''Project Winter''' is a [[Social deduction game|social deduction]] video game featuring [[survival game]] mechanics first released on May 23, 2019, for [[Steam (service)|Steam]]. In ''Project Winter'', players take on the roles of 'survivors' and 'traitors', having to repair two objectives to escape from an incoming [[blizzard]] - or prevent an escape from happening.
 
==Gameplay==
'''Project Winter''' features a mix of survival and social deduction game mechanics. Lobbies consist of 5-8 players, the majority of which are survivors. Survivors must search the map for bunkers and similar structures, containing parts required to fix objectives, as well as gear to strengthen themselves. The game also utilizes a crafting system as an alternative to scavenging. There are several different objectives, each requiring a different method to be fixed (some require parts, some do not). In order to win, survivors must locate and repair 2 objectives and call for help before 30 minutes pass.
 
The traitors' goal is preventing survivors from winning. ''Project Winter'' allows them to sabotage their surroundings in order to obstruct survivors. Traitors also have access to exclusive 'traitor crates' which usually contain amazing gear. Several reviewers have stated that they feel the gameplay favors traitors.{{Citation needed|date=September 2024}}
