Impact Hour

Five minutes of calm. Then the sky falls.

Impact Hour drops you onto a lonely farmstead in the Yorkshire Dales with a warning on the radio: a meteor shower will break over the valley in five minutes. Gather wood and stone, craft tools, cook a last proper meal — and decide where you'll be standing when the first fireball comes down.

Survive the falling sky, then survive what follows it. Ash chokes the light, a superstorm rolls in, and the cold gnaws at you through every hour. Keep the campfire fed, craft a fur-lined parka before the chill takes hold, fill the canteen at the village well, or dig a proper bunker and let the world howl overhead.

The only way out is through. Search the garage, the gas station and the scrapyard for a battery, fuel, an engine and wheels. Patch up one of the three broken cars left in the valley, wait for the blackout broadcast, and drive for the old RAF airstrip — the evacuation beacon won't stay lit forever.

• A living open countryside: rolling dales, woodland, dry-stone walls and weather that grows genuinely hostile
• Full survival loop: gathering, crafting, building, cooking, warmth, hunger and thirst
• Shelter that matters: hold up indoors, behind timber walls, in a wrecked car — or underground
• Repairable, drivable cars and a race-against-the-storm finale
