In Once Human: Way of the Winter players begin by loading into the environment, where they’re guided through a tutorial and a series of early missions designed to teach them about the survival elements, unlock individual systems, and advance the game’s narrative. Key survival elements include gathering resources, crafting items, building bases, and managing hunger and sanity levels. Players must eat and drink to maintain their hunger and hydration meters, which, when kept above certain thresholds, provide various buffs to health and damage. Spending too much time in supernatural areas can lower the sanity meter, which in turn reduces maximum health. To restore sanity, players need to consume specific resources or rest in a bed.
