Status Effects

There are a total of three Status Effects that can plague your character during your game. Your sled dog team can be impacted by certain statuses as well.

The only way to remove any status effects is by setting up Camp and doing so there.

Injured
When you are injured, the only thing that effects you is that if you are injured twice before healing yourself, your character will die and your run will have to restart.

If a dog is Injured, they are moved into the sled. This reduces your sled dog team's total hunger to five bars maximum.

The only way to heal both yourself and a dog is by using a Med Kit at Camp.

Tired
As you and your sled team become more tired, the total amount of energy/hunger in your respective circles is reduced. The only way to make it full again is to sleep while at camp.

If your character loses two bars from their hunger bar, they also receive the "Tired" effect which....

Cold
There are two ways to receive the "Cold" status effect. The primary one is by eating uncooked food. The second one can only happen if Fin is on your team, and you have already followed her and found a skunk. The last way to become cold is one of Bodega's story events.

If you let Fin sleep with your beanie at night, you will receive the "Cold" status effect when you wake up.

While Cold, your character uses up two hunger per any Encounter that you face. You also lose one hunger bar anytime you pass a Marker along your sled trail.

The only way to remove the "Cold" effect is to sit by a lit fire at Camp.
