About this app

RAVEN/WOLF EDITION OWNERS NOTICE: Blackwater Swamp is now available in Update 680. Grizzly Mountains scenarios will be available to beta testers in November 2023 and available to all as soon as testing has been completed. All Raven/Wolf owners get these scenarios.

--- 🐺 NOV 19 UPDATE 680 🐺 ---
UPDATE 680 contains only PIKE LAKE and ELK RIVER and BLACKWATER SWAMP

GRIZZLY MOUNTAINS will come in update 700 (Raven/Wolf owners will get these once the scenarios are developed)

-- NOTE ABOUT OLDER 319 UPDATE --
The old 2018 version codebase was in such state that it became impossible to add new features and eventually this version would have been removed from stores due incompatible android. The whole game codebase was redone (twice) and the new version now is the only one available. This lead to choices that were either "old version is lost forever" or "new version replaces it" and the "new version replaces" was the choice. Some of the classic features have been fixed in update 680 and please do keep giving feedback.

There's been requests for a "classic" version within Survive so emailing smokesignal@thesurvivegame.com with subject line "CLASSIC" can impact development plans.

--
IOS version development starts after Grizzly Mountains Android version has been released.

--
This is an EARLY ACCESS UPDATE so please notice contents of this release are not finalized. A new update is already being developed. All your progress from "earlier than version 500" is lost.

Until next update,
Juuso

--- PRIVACY ---
Game can be played OFFLINE. If you have internet connection, then game will try send anonymized data about gameplay (things like "X number of people play game").

--- PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED ---
* IN-APP PURCHASES (IAP): You can buy full version, style pack and such. There are no "gems" or "ads" type of stuff.
* FULL NETWORK ACCESS: you can play offline, but if you play online game sends error/exception information about crashes. This helps fixing problems.
* VIEW NETWORK CONNECTIONS: To best of my understanding this checks if your device is online or offline.
* CONTROL VIBRATION: this can be toggled off in the settings. It's used only for in-game events (like if you catch a fish or something like that)
* OTHER WORTH MENTIONING: game stores "save game" files to your device so that you can save & continue game after playing. Should not require extra permissions though. Game does not read your phone files. It only reads game files and via settings screen you can see list of files that were created.
