About Survivor Incognito

“Where the Switch and Steam Deck aren’t the only things that are portable — so is the chaos.”

Who I Am

Hi, I’m Survivor Incognito — survival gamer, chaos magnet, and the sort of person who once thought “how bad can thin ice be?” (Answer: terminal).

What started as one person documenting frostbite on the Nintendo Switch has grown into a full-scale broadcast of portable chaos across multiple worlds. And somehow, I’m still here — caffeinated, bewildered, and miraculously alive.

Why the Nintendo Switch?

The Nintendo Switch is where this whole experiment began. It’s perfect for survival games on the move — whether that’s scavenging while travelling, fishing for sardines on the sofa, or ignoring wolves while pretending to multitask.

Every guide and diary here is Switch-tested, which means if a control is awkward, I’ve probably fumbled it first.

Enter the Steam Deck

But survival evolves.

The Steam Deck opened the door to bigger maps, stranger monsters, and even more creative ways to perish. This isn’t replacing the Switch — it’s expanding the camp.

The Deck lets me wander into survival games Nintendo hasn’t invited to the party, giving me twice the chaos and half the free time.

Surviving, Not Suffering

Here’s the philosophy behind Survivor Incognito: I don’t chase the hardest modes; I chase the fun ones.

The goal isn’t punishment — it’s persistence. I play survival games for the stories, the stumbles, and the small victories.

My motto? Surviving, not suffering. You’ll find guides, maps, and playthroughs built for players who want challenge without cruelty — chaos with comfort.

The Survivor’s Camp

If you’re new, start at The Survivor’s Camp — the central hub where all the diaries, guides, and maps live.

From The Long Dark to Skyrim, Subnautica, and beyond, every misstep, miracle, and mildly concerning decision is archived there.

Support & Transparency

I’ve quietly set up a Ko-fi page for anyone who genuinely wants to help keep the coffee flowing and the generator humming.

Everything here will always stay free — that’s a promise. Times are tough, and the biggest support is just clicking, reading, and sharing the chaos. Please don’t go overboard; keep your own lights on first.

Affiliate note: I also have a G2A affiliate link. If you already use G2A to buy games, using it helps support the site at no extra cost to you. No pressure, no push — just an option.

Transparency note: I sometimes use ChatGPT as a writing assistant to help with formatting, structure, and turning rough gameplay notes into readable posts (and occasionally handling SEO bits like meta descriptions).

The gameplay itself is 100% mine — played on Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck — and every decision, near-miss, and avoidable tragedy happens in-game.

Where Else You’ll Find Me

Most chaos is documented right here, but you can also find transmissions on YouTube, quiet signals on Bluesky, and various static across Facebook and Tumblr.

Signal Beacon

All my main links now live in one place:

linktr.ee/survivorincognito

It’s the central broadcast tower — whether you’re coming from YouTube, Bluesky, or the frozen wilds, you’ll find the right signal there.

Welcome to the Chaos

So grab your torch, stockpile snacks, and settle in.

I’ll do the dying, fumbling, and wolf-dodging — you just get to laugh, learn, and maybe pick up a few tips along the way.

Because survival gaming doesn’t have to be misery. Sometimes it’s just about seeing how far one underdressed survivor can make it before the next ridiculous disaster strikes.
