Holdfast

Playable in browser – Takes about 20-30 minutes.
Your progress saves automatically.

Your supplies are running low. Your neighbor needs help.

No zombies. No apocalypse. Just you, your neighbors, and the cold.

HOLDFAST

The power goes out on a cold winter evening. At first, it seems like it'll be back in a few hours. Then the snow starts falling. Then the water stops.

Holdfast is an interactive survival story set in your apartment building over three days without power. Check on neighbors or stay behind your door. Share what you have or protect what's yours. When someone needs help, will you be there?

FEATURES:

• Choice-driven narrative with multiple endings
• Resource management (food, water, warmth, morale)
• Neighbor relationships that matter
• Realistic urban survival scenario
• Browser-based, no download required
• Automatic saves

What actions will you take?

Interact with items in your inventory to see changes to the story, e.g. open your phone to read news or call emergency services (while your battery lasts), or light your candle (if you have matches left).

ABOUT: Holdfast explores what happens when ordinary systems fail and ordinary people have to decide who they want to be.
