The fire is all you have. Its circle of light keeps the wolves out and its heat keeps you alive, but it eats wood, and the wood near camp runs out long before dawn.

Every trip into the dark is a choice: quick branches close by or a heavy log far out that burns four times as long but slows you down. Watch the wolves' eyes: when they turn red, it is about to lunge.

• One night: eight in-game hours from 22:00 to dawn at 06:00, about eight minutes
• Fire and warmth: the light radius shrinks as fuel burns; when the fuel is gone you get twelve seconds of embers to save it
• Wolves: up to six; they circle the light, stalk you in the dark, crouch, then lunge; a bite scatters what you carry
• Torches: three branches make a torch that keeps wolves back and halves the cold for 50 seconds
• Snow squalls: the fire burns faster and the cold bites harder, then the wind leaves fresh branches under the trees
• Carry capacity: six slots; a log takes three and slows you down
