Publisher Polden Publishing announced on August 1 that Muted Games is developing SnowJob, a first-person cooperative horror game for PC via Steam. Players dig through physics-based snow in a frozen Anomaly Zone, scan artifacts, and escape by dawn. The game supports solo play and online co-op for up to four players.
SnowJob is a first-person cooperative horror game set in a frozen Anomaly Zone where players search for artifacts buried under snow and aim to escape by dawn. The game's snow is driven by physics calculations, letting players dig, pack snow into walls, or bury themselves to hide. Scanning artifacts is loud and attracts threats, so players must balance progress with survival.
The developer, Muted Games, was founded by industry veterans and previously worked on the free-to-play rhythm shooter BlasterBeat, which surpassed 350,000 players. Ilia Smelkov, known for sound work on Star Citizen and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, handles game direction and audio. Ivan Sherstyanikov, a 10-year Unreal Engine veteran, programs gameplay, AI, and netcode.
