Roguelike web based game about surviving in a very cold place

I remember playing a web game about surviving in the arctic, I think. It was a turn-based grid-based roguelike. We needed to find clothes, food and observe the sun movements to find our route to safety. The graphics were very simple. As far as I remember, there were no combat and survival was very hard, with hunger and hypothermia being common threats.

Has anyone else played it? I don't remember the name and can't find it anymore.

Ah, o jogo que você tá falando me lembra muito "A Dark Room" ou talvez "The Ensign", ambos feitos pelo Amir Rajan. O "A Dark Room" começa num lugar mais tranquilo, mas o "The Ensign" é tipo uma prequel que se passa num ambiente superfrio e hostil. Os dois são bem simples, com gráficos minimalistas ou até só texto, e focam muito em sobrevivência: achar comida, gerenciar recursos e se virar em situações difíceis.
Se não for um desses, pode ser algum outro jogo de sobrevivência nesse estilo roguelike bem simples. Outras opções que me vêm à mente:
"Frostbith": Um jogo de sobrevivência num lugar gelado, onde você tem que se preocupar com frio, fome e recursos.
"NEO Scavenger": Esse não é só no frio, mas tem uma pegada parecida de sobrevivência, com sistema de turnos e grids.
Se ainda não for nenhum desses, tenta dar uma olhada em "jogos de sobrevivência roguelike minimalistas" ou "jogos de sobrevivência no frio" pra ver se acha. Se descobrir qual era, me conta! 😊
- Fala, Ademir, você por aqui? Que mundo pequeno kkkkkk
  Eu adorava esses jogos estilo a dark room. Esse que falei era pitoresco assim também, mas não era um jogo incremental como esses. Era bem estilo roguelike mesmo, quase tradicional, tipo dungeon crawl stone soup, mas com o diferencial de não ter lutas. Era tudo voltado a sobreviver no gelo. Lembro que tinha até uma jogabilidade complexa, pois se a gente caísse na água, tinha que desequipar a roupa rapidamente pra não dar hipotermia, e procurar logo uma roupa nova e seca.

  hahahaha! Oi ^^ Fiquei bem interessado mesmo, parece um jogo muito dahora!

Hey, I think the game you're looking for might be Arctic Survival Penguin. It's a turn-based roguelike where you have to survive in the Arctic, find food, and stay warm. The game has that vibe of constant hunger and hypothermia messing with you, and the graphics are pretty simple. Check it out here, it might be the one.
Another option is Wayward, which is more of a survival game with roguelike elements. I’m not sure if it's exactly set in the Arctic, but it has that resource management and hardcore survival feel. You can take a look here.
If neither of these is it, you might want to browse through itch.io since there are a lot of indie games that could match what you remember. Good luck!
- The one I played had very very simple graphics and was web-based. None of those, unfortunately, but thanks for the suggestions, they look worth checking later.

Hi! I think I found some games that might be what you're looking for!
Check these out!
Die for a Dolphin: This one's a super simple survival game where you're stuck in the cold. Sounds kinda like what you described?
Cold: Another survival game where you have to manage your temp, hunger, and thirst. Pretty harsh environment, just like you said!
Survive the Wild: This one's a bit more general, but you still have to manage your needs and navigate the wilderness.
Worth a shot?
Itch.io: I know you're looking for web-based games, and Itch.io's got a ton of 'em! You can search for survival and rogutype games with Arctic themes.
Kongregate: Same deal as Itch.io - tons of web-based games, including survival and roguelikes. Give it a shot!
Hope one of these is the game you've been thinking of!
