Cherrypick Games has announced its next project, and it’s a stylish-looking survival game called Angst: A Tale of Survival. Cherrypick Games, based in Poland, is known for its slate of free mobile games, but Angst is the studio’s first major premium game for PC and console.
The studio says fans can think of the game as “Don’t Starve meets Dredge meets Hades” in terms of the genres and tone it’s aiming for. The game features roguelite progression and what’s described as a “contemplative, quest-driven narrative.” Take a look at the cinematic trailer below to get a feel for the game’s tone, vibe, and setting.

Now Playing: Angst: A Tale Of Survival – Official Exclusive Cinematic Reveal Trailer
Players awaken in an old cabin in the middle of a frozen taiga, and they don’t know what happened to them besides how they got stuck in a terrible snowstorm. Players try to discover what happened, but the twist is that things start to feel oddly familiar.
Angst is an atmospheric wilderness survival game where players explore a “limbo-like world” where they can’t trust that what they’re seeing is actually real.
“As you venture deeper into the snowy wilderness, you’ll encounter an array of biomes with unique characteristics and find new quests that unravel the secrets of this world’s mysterious past,” reads a line from the game’s description. “To survive in this frozen realm, you must craft tools and weapons, hunt, fish, and upgrade your skills and gear.”
Angst prioritizes environmental exploration over what could be considered more traditional combat and skill-based challenges, its developer said. You can get a closer look at Angst through the images in the gallery above.
Angst is set for release on Steam Early Access in early 2025, before it comes to console and mobile devices sometime later on. For now, you can wishlist the game on Steam.
