DOOBAK Wakes Up to a Village Under Ice

In DOOBAK, the evacuation has already happened. A village lies buried beneath snow, its residents gone—and the player character has slept through the escape. That sharp, darkly comic setup gives the announcement trailer an immediate hook: this is a co-op digging adventure where the way out is hidden beneath the frozen ground. Developed by SILLY CROW, the game is coming to PC via Steam.

Every Tunnel Is a Team Effort

Designed for one to four players, DOOBAK turns digging into the center of its cooperative challenge. Each tunnel could lead toward safety, useful supplies, or another problem to solve, making coordination as important as determination. The premise taps into the appeal of cooperative video games, where a shared goal can turn even a simple task into an unpredictable group adventure. Here, the clock is the approaching storm, and the landscape itself stands between the survivors and escape.

Warmth Is a Resource, Not a Luxury

Survival in DOOBAK is about more than finding a route through the snow. Players must search for useful items, pause to warm up by campfires, and keep moving before the blizzard closes in. Those small, practical decisions give the adventure a tactile edge: a safe moment by the fire may offer relief, but staying too long could cost precious time. The frozen setting also evokes the unforgiving environments found in survival games, while the game’s focus on shared problem-solving promises a lighter, more social spin on the genre.

A Signal Before the Storm Swallows Everything

Digging is only part of the escape plan. The group must also try to signal rescuers, giving the journey a clear objective beyond simply reaching the edge of the map. That combination of exploration, scavenging, and urgency could make each attempt feel like a scramble to turn scattered supplies into a lifeline. With its snowbound village, cooperative premise, and blizzard pressing from all sides, DOOBAK sets up an appealingly tense adventure for players who enjoy working together under pressure. More details are available on the game’s Steam page and the broader co-op gaming landscape.
