Wild n Chill is in development at Wombat Brawler with no release date or price set. A Steam demo covering the first area, Coldwater Crossing, launched on August 6, and a new trailer shows cabin building, winter survival, a dog companion, and 11 named regions.
Wild n Chill has moved from announcement to a playable demo in a few months. Wombat Brawler announced the pixel-art survival game in May for PC via Steam, with up to four players hunting, fishing, and gathering materials from a mountain cabin across 11 area types. The Steam page opened in July, adding the setting name Black Bear Hollow, a 1-4 player co-op range, more than 40 animals and 20 fish, and a note that Japanese language support is planned. Release date and price were undecided then.
The demo arrived on Steam on August 6 and covers the first area, Coldwater Crossing, where players learn to craft simple tools and build a shelter. It introduced a hermit named Buck who trades goods, and it tied the project to the team behind the fishing game Cast n Chill. The same story confirmed more than 40 animal species, over 20 fish species, mythical creatures, a canine companion that retrieves prey and detects danger, 11 areas across coastal, wetland, rainforest, and snowy mountain environments, and online and local co-op for up to four players. A full release date remained undecided.
The August 17 Game Spark indie roundup listed Wild n Chill alongside Cryptica and QUIET, describing it as a cooperative survival game about building a cabin in nature. The October 16 trailer pinned down the pitch further: cabin building with a dog companion, surviving winter, gathering at a campfire, hunting, fishing, trapping, crafting, and managing hunger and thirst.
Across the stories the platform list stays PC and Mac via Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch. The setting, 11 areas, and animal and fish counts hold steady; the release date and price do not.
