Frostpunk OST - The City Must Survive [EXTENDED]

Engineer: Sir -150 celsius
Captain: Is that lowest we will see?
Engineer: Sir its lowest we can measure.

Texans when temperature drops slightly under 0 Celsius

"Oh boy, a new city management game!"

"... why does it have a boss music"

Most terrifying part of this game is hearing the announcer in a dark and scared tone yell "Brace yourself. The storm is here" and then this music plays

If the phrase "Desperate times call for desperate measures" was a theme, it would be this.

I just realized. Frostpunk would make for an excellent TV mini series.

The Storm: Unstoppable force
New London: Immovable object

Me when I first played this game: No one will die on my watch.

Me after losing countless people, and restarting multiple times: The city must survive. No matter the cost.

You will always be remembered, Little Timmy. The boy who turned on the furnace and saved the entire city.

When you finally see that little sun icon appear on the weather timeline, so close yet so far away...

This song embodies Current Objective: Survive

Me: I am good leader that will never do something immoral
*-150c storm approaches
Me: Use child worker corpses as fuel.

A reminder that, the coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth is -89.2 celsius. In the game, the temperature during the storm is almost 2 times lower than that at -150 celsius. Remember that it got so cold the mercury was frozen solid but the temperature is still going down.

However we have to include the facts that the City is in an area where because of the layout being in a crater-hole sort of area, they aren't directly being hit by the Storm. That, and as far as I know the Generator is constantly putting out heated air upward so that might help too. Still, that's still really, really cold.

I would like to take a moment to remember:
*The overworked steel mill laborer
*The officer who got shanked
*The plot device
*The ten scouts who I sent to fight bears
*and the four refugees who died waiting for medical

First playthrough: I will be a decisive but just leader. No unnecessary cruelty.

5 minutes later: ANYONE LATE TO CHURCH GETS FED TO THE WOLVES. Also we're having sawdust for dinner.

may my respect go to that one child that fixed the entire generator at the age of 5, my hats go to you Sir

That violin, oh that violin....

If I recall correctly, -273°C is absolute zero, with nothing colder below that, at -150°C you are technically past the halfway to absolute lack of movement down to your very atoms.

play this game on a snowy winter day while your room's window is fully open. Best way to experience this masterpiece

-150 degrees celsius. There is no heat in the world that can protect you from that. This is the point where even the well prepared just says "AM I LOSING?" out loud.
