* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: The wntire end-game scenario involves surviving a superstorm event that drops the world's temperature up to -150 Degree Celsius. If the players managed to make it through, the superstorm will end with the temperature returning to normal. No matter the results of going through the crisis, the city (now New London) is the only civilization left with questions whether the [[IDidWhatIHadToDo sacrifices]] were worth after all.]]

* EverybodysDeadDave: [[spoiler: The fate of Winterhome, a nearby settlement with a heat generator, meant that the inhabitants player's city is the only humans left in the region, if not the world. The destruction of London along with the royal family caused major strife within the city before the generator exploded from lack of oversight. Either many of them perished from chaos, the resulting generator explosion, or possibly scattered across the region in camps, thus creating major Hope decrease in-game as the citizens knew that they are the sole surviving civilization in the frozen world along with calls for a hopeless expedition to London.]]

* TakeAThirdOption: [[spoiler: The Londoners' crisis can end peacefully for the city depending on choosing either [[DayOfTheJackBoot Order and Discipline]] or [[TheTheocracy Faith and Spiritual Strength]]. If their numbers dwindled to one, the entire group will suffer from HeelRealization and decided to stay in the City instead.]]

* TheTheocracy: [[spoiler: Other than Order and Discipline path, the society can go to Faith and Stability that seems to be a benign path by appearance. However, in its extremity, it can be NotSoDifferent from the totalitarian and secular path as their top tier level for the Book of Laws can conduct purges and punishment against rebels.]]

* DeveloperForesight: Knowing the possibility of the players' fore-knowledge and delays, [[spoiler: the event of Londoners resulting from the news on the demise of Winterhome can still occur even if the city was not explored with the survivors making to the player's city with bad news.]]

* YouRequireMoreVespeneGas: Food, particularly Rations, itself is the "Power" of the Frost Punk, where it required for the population to survive with the Heat ring of the generator and the smaller steam hub also included since the populace would freeze without it. Coal and Wood are the "Gold" since they served as basic resourced needed for generator's fuel and structures respectively. Metal being the "Lumber", or secondary resources for advanced structures and technology. The population, which the available housing and food intake served as informal population limit, is divided into Engineers (Skilled laborers who are the only one with medical expertise, research, and complex resource gathering), Workers (your run-of-the-mill laborers), and Children (depending on laws; either as couriers, laborers, or skilled assistants).

* VideogameCaringPotential: In spite of the grim nature of the game, decisions to send children to school and not resorting to IDidWhatIHadToDo can be introduced Book of Laws.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddMech: Despite the 19th century technology, your civilization can develop Automatons. These are towering behemoths of a steampunk mech that's made for heavy industry.

* ConstructAdditionalPylons: The generators must be given coal for its heat to be provided in ring form. As each level is increased, so too would coal consumption for the price to expand living and farming areas.

Frost Punk is an upcoming survival-based Simulation game by Polish developer 11 Bit Studios, the makers of ''VideoGame/ThisWarOfMine''. The game sets in a post-apocalyptic [[AlternateHistory 1886]], where ice storms have ravaged the world except for pockets of civilizations around various heat-giving generators. Unlike majority of city management games, the game included emotional and survival aspects with having to manage meager resources and passing laws that will have to account for preventing DespairEventHorizon through Hope meter (allowing corpses to be buried in mass graves or fertilizer will decrease it while individual burial plots will increase it at the price of labor and land). The game is set to release in early 2018.

* YouRequireMoreVespeneGas: Food (Raw and Rations), Coal, Metal, and Wood are required to create a thriving city. The population is divided into Engineers (Skilled laborers who are the only one with medical expertise, research, and complex resource gathering), Workers (your run-of-the-mill laborers), and Children (depending on laws; either as couriers, laborers, or skilled assistants). Furthermore, heat is also a resource itself as running the generator along with its heating extensions provided warmth for the citizens to survive in the cold world.
