“It was an honour fighting with you lads, see you on the other side.”

"Play me something before i go" The Apostle said, handing her the guitar. "i need something to remind me of the good times" "Rest my friend, you have done your best, and may you find lost comrades in the afterlife" He sat down and listened to the song, for an hour, there was peace on Eden-227. For an hour, the scavengers and their queen looked up to the sky and paid their respect not an enemy, but a fighter who'd lost everything. The music resonated through the planet into the mountains where The Reikgons listened and were never seen again. Through the cold winter and the trauma of losing his friends.The Apostle was finally at peace with his betrayal .The Apostle closed his eyes and to the sound of the music passed away peacefully. Shadow hunters, who had stayed loyal to The Apostle and his mission, rised up from the ground to give their final goodbyes and vanished like the rest of their Reikgon brothers. Got bored and wrote this, I think it's pretty average but let me know what you think! :) Edit: woah thank yall so much for the attention and i'm happy you guys liked it :D

It is silent. There's no enemies. There's no allies. There's just you and their corpses. No enemies. No friends. Just you. You're slowly succumbing to the wounds of the last fight It's eerily silent. You're cold. Very cold. Then, there's nothing.

A Tribute. With deep sorrow we’ve come to know that as of 10/5/2023, Decaying Winter an action and horror packed Wave based shooter/Survival game on Roblox, is witnessing its second Graphic content review and is currently unavailable for online play. Hyper, the admin of the AA/DW server, had announced that if the content review goes through, that the game will not be reinstated. As painful as this may be to many agents and fans of the game, let’s look back on all the good or bad memories we’ve made playing the game, all the friends we’ve made and bonds we’ve created. Through all the suicides, funny ragdolls, sickler jumpscares and joyful cheers of victory we’ve achieved. On behalf of every agent out there I can say with sheer confidence that this game has helped many of us in more ways than one, and we are all truly thankful to the creators and moderators that have worked hard to keep this game alive for as long as it has. Looking back now, it feels like only yesterday when I first played the game with all of my closest friends, but that was a whole year and a half ago now. With that said, all the clips, all the wins and losses I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing will forever remain a core memory inside of my mind, and I’m sure anyone else reading this would feel the same way. And to all the fellow agents out there, our journey has come to a bitter end, and our mission is finally complete. As of right now, all we can do is pray for the best, but if worst comes to worse, then Rest in peace Decaying Winter, you will forever live in our hearts.

This song is fitting for decaying winter because it REALLY lets the helpless feeling sink in but its also completely out of character with how calm it is as if the person playing has resigned themselves to the doomed fait that awaits its calm sad and thats probably the best way to describe it and the best kind of music for DW Edit: wow thanks for 700 likes

Although I only started playing Decaying Winter 4 days ago, I can say confidently that this is one of the best I've ever played. Compared to most games nowadays, Decaying Winter stands out immensely. The games' quality and overall design is unmatched. It's unfortunate that the main game got taken down. It'll be even more unfortunate if the other standalone version gets taken down as well. Agents, enjoy the game while it lasts. You may never know when it'll be your last time experiencing this amazing game.

"Looks like the Storm is Rolling in.." The immolator Said before Handing her the Guitar. "Could you play somethin' For me?" "Yeah of Course, sit down with me.." The Immolator Sat down and Listened too the Song for 1 Hour, The Castle sniper aimed At them but hesitated, he didn't Shoot them, The immolator Put on his Respirator, as he was Bleeding and his Artery was Deeply cut. He coughed a bit of blood after 40 Minutes passed, His teammates Spectated him in there Lost Souls as they Looked at him "Rest in Peace, Partner.. And at least your coming up Too See the Lord himself.." The Artillerist Said, Tipping his hat as a Tear Slowly Appeared on his Eye. The music was Slowly Drifted away into the Storm as the Immolator Closed his eyes, peacefully dying "You Bringed a Charm like No Other.." the Lazarus said. "I'm gonna miss you Man." The Executioner Said.. as their Lost souls Slowly Disappeared, they all Said their Final goodbyes, she Set down her Guitar. Looking at the Passed on Agent.. "Rest Easy.. Agent." (Edit: Why did i Actually start Crying tho)

An absolute legend. Truly a great of gaming, which at the time of the "final" shutdown, I hadn't played much and had regretted it. Now that it's back up, I'm glad that this masterpiece of gameplay, customization, lore, and so much more has returned for the foreseeable future, and we can only hope it isn't forced to close again. gg -Tc43

Man, for quite the brutal and non stop action the game has, this song is very relaxing

What makes this song good, exactly? As it has already been said countless times, the best part about this song is how it fits into Decaying Winter's incredibly action-packed gameplay and its incredibly tragic lore, and acts as a middle ground between the two, not really picking a side in terms of tone, opting for invoking a feeling of finality. It works incredibly well, as it's grounded in the feasibility of someone just playing this song in Eden-227, while also having a really nice melody. Overall, its main strength how it acts as a bridge between the lore and the gameplay, which was already executed fairly well, imitating how tragic war can be while also imitating how glorified it is in some forms of media. I love it.

The atmosphere this game had is so unique, for me it felt like nostalgic in a relaxing way, cozy maybe. sad to see it gone once again, i didn't it play it a lot, but every time i remembered it, i got hooked for days. 2 Days before it got taken into review i introduced my friends to this game, both of them liked and we played a lot. we got a lot of laughs, it was really fun. Last day, i managed to hit prestige 1 early in the morning, played almost all day. Met some nice people, which sadly i lost, since my game lost connection and i couldn't remember the names Later that day i i managed to get Apostle, somehow. We were 5 guys using Apostle, 3 of us were trying to figure out how to play the class lol, we al most died using melee but oh well, 8 minutes into the round the game got taken under review and that was it for our Winter. I can't stand roblox hipocresy, how does this game come up as "Too much" when combat warriors is literally close to it, even worse sometimes, the only thing that can be seen as too far is the death animation. But well, Combat warriors makes roblox money, Decaying winter doesn't. Also would be nice to have more "mature" games like this, Age restricted maybe? a lot of roblox player like me have grown up, and there's not many games that make me enjoy roblox now, but it's mainly for kids so, i guess that's how it is. I really hope someone takes care of this game and does what it deserves, being released on Steam, or whatever as an "Indie" game, priced even, it's worth it. I'll miss Arbiter, thank you.

This is more even emotional when the game is at risk of taking down forever. Finally a calm night.

There aren't any more enemies, supplies, weapons, and teammates. It's only me, my thoughts, and this song. Cheers to my fallen friends, who died to help me get here. We did it guys, at the cost of everything. - The Final Agent. (Btw this isnt my words just found these words really good below a shorter version of Calm Night)

Listening to this with 5 morals, a bleeding artery and broken limbs just make it even better. It feels as if youre actually fighting to survive.

This is a relay message to all our agents. Our mission is finally over. Lay down your weapons and rest. Our trek is done. To Archeximus, you may now recuperate after supplying us with all the memories and allies we gathered on this mission. Your time of resonating is now. And to our agents, it was an honor fighting alongside you, but the devotion that we had thus far so persistently advanced has come to die. There is still much to be memorialized. Remember agents, when the sicklers lie and the winds roar, you will always find composure and peace within the memories you have created with your teammates or with your environment. Whether you’ve clashed in isolation or rallied with a team, one thing remains the same. The winter might decay, your body might subject, but our spirit will never surrender. Thank you Archeximus for giving all of us such a great experience Never forgotten, Decaying Winter

Don’t get me wrong, it’s great that a whole new community adopted and fell in love with this song, I just wish more people knew that this song is from an entirely different game, and was renamed and integrated with this game. The song is actually “Kerry’s Song” from Cyberpunk 2077, and was one of the most memorable parts of the game. No change of scenery will ever compare to being so many hours in to such a beautiful game and relaxing on a yacht listening to Kerry play this into the sunset.

“When you’re happy you enjoy the music, but when you are sad, you understand the lyrics.” Man the lyrics hit hard on this one…

"I may be traitor to those I used to call home to but I've moved on and honestly you guys have been like brothers to me you welcomed me with open arms to the team even knowing what I was and all I have to say is thank you and knowing if we die we will have each other in the end"-words of the apostle

God.. listening to this makes me cry, i regret not playing this amazing game earlier. I only got to play in the last three months, but im grateful i got to enjoy the game, Whether it be alone or a server full of friends, i had so much fun. Rest in peace decaying winter, this was inevitable due to the mature content in the game. (Lynching, smoking, alcohol, drugs, excessive gore, the reset button, mental torture etc.,)

Winter is clearing The memories of Eden Never to decay. Rest in peace, DW. You had a good run.

In Decaying winter's dark lore and gameplay, you have to remember that in every dark and horrible place there is always a light. It may be big or small, but there's always that one light that makes you forget, even for a moment, that you're in this Dark place. Keep on fighting Agents.

I don’t listen to guitar solos often but damn i really need to do it more.

we never lived to die another day.

there WAS a reason dw had us all hooked but now it's a memory for most and brand new for few decaying winter i mean this, you are the greatest game on roblox, not much drama or bad stuff happened around the game (much) but still the most chill game TO Me.

This is the song im gonna be playing on loop when I get my drivers license Imagine just driving in the night all while this is playing would be such a vibe

When going around rampaging in Decaying Winter, I always risk my life to return her guitar and listen to her song one last time before my health runs out, it calms me down and puts me in a relaxed state, and it forces me to remember beautiful things in my life

Rest Easy, Decaying Winter. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten.

Today 9 may 2023 Decaying winter got errased. This game gave me infinite moments of happiness, gave me friends, a way to be happier everyday. This game help me to be a happy person, since i been diagnosticted whit depression this game was the everything to me and i cannot be more sad knowing that maybe im not gonna be able to play anymore. I'll remember this game for eternity. RIP Decaying Winter- Best game on roblox.

“I sit there with a broken leg, no weapons, no supplies, and no other companions since they were taken down by the scavengers. The next wave of enemies close in as I sit there waiting for my demise. This truly is the end of Eden-227. I will see my friends on the other side.”

Thank you for this song, it helped me get through the lost of my dad and many more losses, I hope your having a great day who ever is reading this.

It's almost 3 AM. I drank a bunch of coffee and now i can't sleep. This is the only thing that helped me calm down. Thank you, i needed some of this.

Rip decaying winter You may got banned but with those cold experiences you gave us you will never decay and will remain in our hearts forever. Thanks you agents for everything.

got this idea and decided to bring it to life. As the scavenger horde closes in on me, I remember what I’m fighting for. Micheal died with one last swing of his blade, decapitating three scavengers, but the rest, already desensitized, didn’t even flinch. Jacob threw every last one of his bombs at the scavengers, but it backfired once he got cornered, and detonated the explosives far too late, splitting his skull in half. Mariah barely escaped a bad situation, but her arm blade broke and one too many scavengers took notice. Jack, sledgehammer in hand, used the last of his calamity serum, and charged into the scavengers to save my life when we both got cornered. I won’t let their deaths be in vain. But it just seemed hopeless, every one I kill, three more attack. I can’t be sure if it was luck or not, but my last tickspider killed enough for the rest to be manageable. It’s over. It’s finally over. Bleeding all over, with my leg broken and my arm nearly suffering the same fate, I limp out of the safe zone. I put on my emergency gas mask and disappear into the storm, carrying the weight of my dead team. And then I found her, sitting on top of the tower as always, guitar to the side of her. She’s the last alive person I trust. She jumps at the sight of me, having arrived at the most unexpected time. She sees my condition, and can’t help but ask, “Why are you out in the storm like this?” I respond “I have one last request.” She looks at me worryingly. She looks for a medical kit in her backpack, but find nothing. Me and her both know what is going to happen to me. “Can you play one last time for me?” She agrees, saying “I’ll do anything for someone who’s gone through so much.” She seems to know what happened just from the absence of my team. She then played her music. I watch her fingers go across the guitar, playing each and every note perfectly. That night for me, it all fell silent. Everything around me came to a full stop, as my eyes slowly begin to close for one final, eternal rest. I avenged my fallen team, and that is enough for me to finally embrace death, which has finally caught up to me.

"My final melody is for everyone to hear." As a fallen agent sat on a chair. The young girl promised to play his melody after he had passed for everyone to hear. As he laid there, playing his music, everything was calm. Calm before the storm. As everyone looked towards the skies, embracing the only calmness they would ever have on this planet, the melody finally ended. As laid there, stopping as his final breaths took place, the young girl replayed his melody. "Thank you for listening youngin." The agent said as he finally past away. As the young girl played, everything was more calm throughout the entire battlefield where thousands had died before. For everything she lost, now her only caretaker, she could only do one thing for him, play his final melody.

I've only been introduced to Decaying Winter about two weeks before the game got taken down, when a friend that really likes absurdly difficult games decided to show me something I can sink my teeth into after I asked him for reccomendations. Getting to know the game from the ground up was an experience I have never felt in roblox, and despite the bugs and occasional bullshit deaths I still loved the game to it's core. All the references from other games or series I loved, like Tarkov, Hunt showdown, fucking ULTRAKILL of all things, and mainly Madness Combat. I understood almost all of the references and reused assets, and I loved it every time. I mostly solo's the game because I didn't trust public lobbies to not instantly kill themselves on spawning, and only played with that one friend who has beaten the true ending and all that. The farthest I got into the game solo was night 8 as Arbiter, and it was a thrill like nothing. Going out into the scav war with the music blasted up to full so I hype myself up and slaughtering everything in sight with longshots is just pure adrenaline, and the night after that is also filled with a lot of great moments, most of them being stupid deaths fully on my end, since I had no idea how to parry at the time. The farthest I got into the game in total was actually night 10 with that friend, and we died immediately. He was pissed off, but I was happy to even get to that point, and had more than enough confidence to get past the final night. After that, I learned how to parry almost every time perfectly, found out about sledge queen, about the true ending and how to start it... And after all that, I was busy with larping and concerts for a week. When I came back, I got to play once on a school computer where I usually didn't get far thanks to no audio. And that run, where I got to night 7, was my last run in this game, with me having zero idea that this is it. Next day, I wake up, and check the DW/AA discord to see it in ruin, as the game was taken down. I didn't believe it at the moment, but after checking myself, it was indeed,under review. I.... don't really remember how I felt, even if it was like five days ago. I guess I felt sad that I didn't get to see everything. I did pledge once, and was eager to get all the cosmetics. But I also understood why it happenned, because roblox did take it down 9 months ago, and the community's reaction seems to bethe same, even for the second time. I never got to the lab, I never got to even meet sledge queen, I never got to kill yosef, and never got to see the true ending for myself, as I am holding myself back from watching any spoilers to this day. I know nobody will read this, cuz this comment section is filled with posts like these, but I thought to at least get this out there, so Idon't forget, and that I can look back and see how I felt after Zym's current project is finished, as hope is being restored again. Well, thanks for reading if you got here, I guess. Hope you have an at least decent day, and as little things go wrong. Thanks Golden for showing me the game, I will never check out jtoh cuz obby games on roblox aren't my type of game Loyal to the agency.

Come on Agents. The mission is over. Let's go back home.

You know, I was never a fan of these types of games. But damn, was effort and soul put into this game. Absolutely a favorite (even if I suck ass at it being a FPS gamer). Along with what a lot of people have said, there is always this feeling of impending doom. You’re an agent stranded on a planet which is barely habitable. You’re surrounded by demons (Skinners, Cloak (forgot the name), Hangers, Sicklers). Their screeches turn your courage to fear. Fear you got use to. The Scavs thirsty for supplies. Their rifles, pistols, melees, shotguns, traded on you. The death of your teammates damages your mental fortitude. The hanger wishing death upon you. The lab. Everything. The game managed and nailed a narrative. A narrative, you can’t find in Roblox games anymore. This song, is the rapping and the bow of the gift we have been given. Great work devs.

(Read this with the music in the video and enjoy) *commencing ECHO playback* Night 10 John, Jacob, Mary, Sandra and I were healing almost in celebration, for the distress signal was sent. The sledge queen of the scavs was dead, we had our respirators, and the agency said they would send a ship to pick us up immediately and bring us back to base. But that was when we heard a devastating sound. The footsteps of a hundred man army, angry that their leader had fallen. We rounded up our ammo, put on what little armour we had left, and prepared to fight the battle of our lives. We heard a commanding voice shouting for the scavs to attack. And that was when all hell let loose. Sandra, the Lazarus, made use of her device's remaining power and Lazarus buffed. John rushed in with his Decimator and attempted to perform an area shock, but it was all in vain for he was immediately bleeding out on the ground from all the bullets being fired from the scavs' signature weapon, the dreaded AKM. Mary commanded her moths to create a cloud and block their path, but it only slowed them down a little as the moths were torn apart by lead. And a few seconds later, so was she. Jacob, the Blitzer threw all he had until he had nothing left. He took out a lot of them, but he was hit in the head by a 50 cal. bullet, fired by a scav on top of the dirt fortress. My mind flayer launcher had been damaged heavily in combat, but I had run out of mind flayers in the first place. The scavs whose minds were already taken over by my little machines were dead in seconds. Either from their heads exploding or being shot by their former allies. Sandra and I put on the respirators we found in the secret base we raided and ran out into the storm, dodging all the bullets that were flying at us. And that was when we saw it, a ship marked with the agency's logo with two guards alongside it. Taking her hand in mine, we depleted all our energy running towards the ship. Suddenly, Sandra's gas mask was hit, I tried to save her by giving her mine, but it was too late. She had breathed in the radioactive storm and was vomiting blood. The next thing I knew, the two guards that were guarding the entrance of the ship had been shot as well, with no chance of fighting back. The ship exploded in a great yellow light. I turned around, and fought for what little I had left. By the time it was over, I was holding the commander's head in my right hand, for I had lost my left. My ankle was fractured, and I had been stabbed a few times. I went to the top of the tower, using my right hand to climb. And that is when I saw her. A girl with a bandaged hand, a friend that I had met while looting on the fourth night. When she saw me in my state, she reached into her backpack and looked for an IFAK or any type of medication, but in vain. She couldn't help me. Nobody could, and so I told her my last request before I went. I told her to play her guitar for me one last time, for I also played the guitar back on the planet we call home, Earth. She began to play as I lay on the ground, slowly fading away from consciousness. That is my story, and to whoever activated this ECHO playback, find her and thank her for me, and good luck surviving on this god forsaken planet. *ECHO playback complete*

seeing this thumbnail the first time "looks basic, whatever, waste of time" second, "nah" third, "lemme check it", watched a couple seconds, "whatever, mid." god knows how many times I saw the thumbnail afterwards. Here I am today decided to put it in the background learning how to animate guns. Love the music.

Calm night always makes me cry. Seriously speaking, it makes me think about those 3 years I spent playing Decaying Winter, enjoying it. Or I start to think that when time passes I will remember this song and say * What a good time, another thing would be that when I am going to die I would listen to this song, I really think that and I start to cry very hard, it's like it makes me remember How nice it was to play without worries, and etc.

"Did we do the right thing?" "No... We almost never did. Though we made it out." "I still feel bad for Lazarus. They were abandoned as we fled." "Victory takes Sacrifice. He knew what had to be done when we left." "Do...? Do you think they still be watching us from up above?" "I don't believe in Heaven but then again I don't think any of us here are saints to be forgiven. I know a hell exists since this whole world turned into one." *Lights Cig* "Besides, we will meet again. In this world or the one below." "I miss our friends. Just feel bad that we are the only two left alive." "Heh... One more thing. We lost what little treatment we had left. So take these. Its enough to cover for you until the last your days kid" "W-wait what about you? I don't want you to parish like them!" "Look, there is no more supply left in the area and even if we split it I got no will to live after all the death. Sides' this is my last pack." "Y-.... You sure about this...? About going?" "Trust me I will see you again in the world below won't I?" "...Thank you... For everything... You were a good friend. A good ally." "You best get out before the Blizzard comes back to the area. Just take what is left in our supplies and go. See you around kid" *He leaves the rooftops leaving the last survivor*

Thanks to DW for creating great memories for me and my friends. Another masterpiece killed by the moderation team.

I remember back when decaying winter got deleted and everyone panicked as well sent their respects to the game. I was one of them, I wasn't an experienced player. In fact, I just got introduced to it by my friends and played it only once. The week after that it got deleted. I felt kind of sad, but now knowing that the game has been restored, I thank the person who did it. The only thing sad left is that the devs didn't decide to continue working on the game and quitted it.

When i first played since it's released , I cant stop playing it cause it gives me so much experience , the details and hardcore gameplay brings me remarkable impression to DW . But sometimes good things won't last long . A tribute to the game Take care agents

"This is my last journey fellas. Tell my brother I died a hero, like I always wanted. This is SENTENZA, signing off." - Unnamed ARBITER-Class AGENT In all seriousness though, Decaying Winter is one of my all time favorite games, and its actual lore is even more amazing. Made some cool OCs based off my appearance in-game. Hope you all have a great day and have fun killing scavs!

the music : chilling the gameplay : dark the lore : dark as heck

welp, agents i guess our journey ends here, it was fun while it lasted, but alas, all good things must come to an end. from the bottom of my heart, Thank You, for giving me, an amazing memory to look back... Consider this, Our "calmest nights" Good Luck Out There Agents... signed -Agent Z

I remember one specific run i had with a few randoms. We fought amd bonded together for only those short 10 days together in game. We lost a few agents along the way (most left after dying) but 2 of em stuck by my side the whole way through. We all decided to live one life that run to keep with some semblance of realism. All 3 of us survived to day nine, but we all were out of the meds needed to combat the infection by that point. The other two were still going strong at stage 2 infection, but i was on stage 4... The final day passed by and still no meds to slow or halt it for me. I sat down by the red storage unit as the others watched. "I'm going to die, but I die with pride knowing I got to fight alongside you guys." I succumbed to the infection a few moments later, leaving everything I had to them... To the other agents reading through this know one thing. Look out for each other, help the others whenever possible. Because when the storm comes and the night falls. The only thing you can do is work together.

Now this is the stuff I need to listen while Relaxing

ever since i discovered this i return the guitar every run regardless if its unwise to do so, i just feel good whenever i return it, just to put my weapons down, sit down, and let my fears and worries drift away, even if its only for a minute or so

The Drifter walks up to Red, silent as he approaches. Red looks up, seeing the Drifter. "I found this." he says, showing her the guitar. Red gasps, taking her guitar. "Thank you, let me repay you." She says. The Drifter nods, sitting. Red plays her song as the Drifter listens. And for once... Peace, flooded the air. The Scavengers and Yosef, The Raiders and their Queen, the Reikgon and their cultists. They didn't raise their weapons in aggravation and attack, they raised them as tribute. To a soldier fighting their way to live. To keep themself and their friends safe. To someone, who had lost it all. Taking injury after injury, death after death... They stook tall, and honored the AGENTS. Honored their sworn enemy, for their dedication. Eden-227 laid their weapons to rest, and listened to the music. For once, the storm didn't come. No blood was shed. The Drifter, mask above his nose, sighed in peace at last, standing and wiping the falling snow from his clothing. He nodded thanks to Red, and walked off into the oncoming storm, never to be seen again. It was his time. Not to die, nor to lose everything. But to return to the ones he loved. Respirator in hand, he leaves for a shuttle beyond the walls of the confinement, returning home to the Agency, and his friends. Eden-227 laid their weapons to rest, and came to peace. Fighting only dwindled their numbers, so why fight, when you can survive... Together.

Came here to mourn the loss of the game, I've been actively grinding this game for ages now, it's sad to see it go, but I'll remember all the good and bad memories of playing it.

"After all the bloodshed, after everything... i can finally rest... its been a honour living, fighting and being with you... my comrades."

"The biggest mistake from the human is not keeping grudge by something people did against you, once they see an oportunity to do hurt you, they will without even thinking twice." -James (not his real name), a friend of mine that i miss alot.

This song was the reason i ever got a guitar and it was the first song i ever learned i fell in love with decaying winter about over a year ago i was tier 43 in the last stranders with 6k bonds and then all of a sudden DW was put under review i was confused but luckily it is back and it's just as fun as it was a year ago this song captures the vibe of decaying winter perfectly and man did it feel good after i learned the song fully so i can just sit on my bed and play it for sometimes over an hour because i have nothing better to do but i never regret a second of playing it or the game and this will be song played at my funeral

I just wanna stay behind this guy and listen his song forever.

This is Kerry's Song, it was written by P. T. Adamczyk and played by Piotrek Lewandowski. Piotrek Is the guitarist that recorded most guitar riffs for Cyberpunk 2077. I'm glad more people are able to hear it because of this game, just concerned that artist behind it isn't getting recognized. Thanks for posting regardless. Here is his official cover: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9lld6ih0NrFqYk.html

“Such a cold night, isn’t it? We don’t have to fight anymore, having to kill people with my own hands, I wonder how I was so calm during the whole thing, I’m so exhausted, tired and still filled with rage, will they come to rescue us? Or are they just leaving us just to die… I hurt so many people, that had lifes, probably even family’s before becoming an outcast like everyone else, what have I done. I can’t take it back now, I can’t undo anything I just did, all I can do is sit here, listening to this as snow drops down,” -Breacher.

"DONT hit the sickler or i swear to go-" *sickler screaming sfx* "god dammit."

"the Winter decays, But our memories We made along the way Last for Eternity even, when New Earth doesnt come to Fruition, FOR NEW EARTH!"

For those wondering, yes it is Kerry's song from Cyberpunk

Long live Decaying Winter in our hearts and very souls..rest well, sweet prince.

rip decaying winter and fellow agents let eden 227 rest in peace

"i came here on a mission. One that I thought I'd return from with my comrades. But now, all I feel that's keeping me alive is their screams, telling me to live on for them." -vagabond (true ending.)

With a broken arm, punctured lung, broken leg the agent sat there. "Happy to protect you yougins, it was a honour fighting with you" as the zealot held his shield up one more time and placed a turret. It was over. The agents watching from the back were in utter shock and sadness that their one and only protecter has perished. The zealot lied there barely even conscious as one agent plays a final song for the zealot, as he dies with a smile.

"Whether its on another planet or dead in a casket, we'll meet again sooner or later" -sole survivor agent

This fits the exact definition of “A song that isn’t popular but is the most chill” Thank you decaying winter for all the memories and fun I’ve had (also all the times my friends have yelled at me because I died). Great times, great memories.

When you beat dw solo:

“Leaving that base and hiding in this cave was not best idea, yet it keeps us safe from the storm and scavs. I do wish we had a 5th member to our crew and some ammo, but life is alright in this cave we found. Living off what find nearby and helping others. We also destroyed our watches so we could talk to others.” A diary written by a Zealot with no hope of getting off Eden 227

"It was an absolute banger hittin' enemies, my friends. I rest here once more as I pick up my guitar and play a final tune before a helicopter comes and picks me up. I stand up to salute the loss of 4 brave men fighting by me & risking their lives for my sake. See you later." - The Final Agent This song fits the need of an intense battle won with so little to lose as you either die in this hell, or survive barely getting out of it. It fits for Decaying Winter because Decaying Winter has the feel of: "You hoard supplies as your silently going past enemies with them unaware. Then you fighting for your life against multiple people as the Agency gets more and more desperate to kill you, even sending out one of their best men into the battlefield on wave 10." Amazing game & music, 10/10.

Thank you Red, for Decaying Winter. All of these memories wouldn't exist without you.

May this wonderful song and game remain in our hearts. Thank you agents, for now, we have truly lost everything.

"the war is over, the battle is gone, the enemies have fallen, and our time is done, we may now rest in peace"

when i listen to it it just makes me feel loosing the people who i care for, them helping me survive through all the problems i had. Now the enemies are gone, no one to kill me, but i fear one thing, my long lost friends who sacrificed their life for me and im now here alone slowly dying from the coldness and im alone... no one to comfort me...

My night 10 experience It was me, Abronic, Ian, and Erick Night 9 was going absolutely amazing. We easily made it through and were on track for victory. Then night 10 started. 2 minutes into the battle, erick died from a grenade. Ian also died moments later. Abronic was at 20 hp, in the sideroom trynna find the green stem. And there was I. I was alone with a ppsh. In 9 seconds, i destroyed yosef and continued all alone because abronic died because of a sniper. Finally, i cleared the remaining scavs and it was all over. This victory laid the foundation for my journey to decaying winter. We killed sickler, attempted to assassinate sledge queen and had loads of fun on the way. *Echo playback complete*

Wether you hear this in Cyberpunk or DW, you can defi understand that this deserves to be in a musical museum.

She will be at same spots, playing the same song but never get tired of it, same style of guitar, no matter what it takes and how cold there was, she plays till the end of the game.

The reason it fits so well with decaying winter is you can feel the loss and abandonment,but at some points you fell peace and happy if you can understand the unspoken lyrics,it’s sad but joyful it respects fallen friends and comrades while also showing new ones,I just wanted to say this and get this of my chest to say this to someone who understands decaying winter thanks for reading. :)

Listening to this song feels different after seeing that decaying winter is under review

i imagine while this is playing all of the fighting stops, and all scavs and agents just listen to the music. just a moment of peace.

"I'm an amalgamation. A freak. A traitor. But you all still loved and fought with me till the end. I will not lose you even if it cost me my life. I'll stay with you fighting even in your after life. Im sorry for how you must look now but I can't lose you. Not now." - The last Apostle

"I'm out of ammo and the last survivor of my team and I'm currently Bleeding to death due to my artery, soon the scavs are coming to finish me off, My team has fallen to a sickler that was angered by the scavs on our 6th night in EDEN-227, i was able to kill it with my VULKA machine gun but completely drained it, now soon i am going to reunite with my Comrades, but before i do... I wanna end off with a bang... " *A Group of Scavs are Heard Screaming in Fear followed with a Voice Saying "it's been a fun ride" followed by a Click with the Sound of Multiple Explosives* This is based off a real game i had where we accidentally baited a melee scav to a sickler we didn't see (also the fact i like to kamikaze a teammate as a troll)

gentlemen, it has been a privilege fighting alongside you tonight. o7

This song is from Decaying Winter huh? I GOTTA play that game. The reason that would be,is this song actually saved me from suicide. So there was just me being alone as always,gaming and playing some roblox,talkin/tradin on discord.then,i asked a random guy his priv.. He let me in to his private server and let me use the new code he got. Suddenly i asked him one day if he wanted to be friends. I had no friends at that time and i was in a terrible shape. We also didnt talk much after multiple times of asking to let me in his private server. He said yes. I was very happy to finally have a friend. We did tradings,helped each other,grinded together and some of his friends even came to the priv and they became my friends too. That gone trough for like 2 months. I had so much fun i didnt even think about anything but that,my grades got better,my personality got better and stuff,heck i even started to be more healthy. One day,we got to a little game he wanted to show me on roblox. The name was,Warm Isolation. We hanged out on that game for a couple of weeks and role played. Never role played before and got pretty much good into it but i never even thought of it. He asked me if i wanted to even role play and i said sure. And we built up LORE and everything. Honestly,it was true friendship and the lore was let me tell you,Dark as hell. One of his (my friend's) friend came over to the server time. He was our son as we roleplayed. We even made some jokes on the way of times. Good memories.. One time,we were on dc being goofballs to each other while playing. Me and his friends were a gc in discord so we was sending memes and stuff on chat. Once we were in a real bad situation cuz one of his friends were kind of an asshole to one of our friends so all of us roasted him. I was fking around and then it started to me. I was roastin him and shi but then we were in good after.didnt think much of it tho. My friend on the other side tho became a bit weirder and weirder.he stopped talking more to me,and became a bit more rude over time so i asked if he was alright. He said he was fine but as he was my friend as one who helped me out in a very bad situation,i was very over throwing the situation and got very worried and asked it like 4 times. Then one day the gc was goofin around and we brought up the drama that happened.he got mad about it and him and o started arguing,and since he had the mod he banned me from the gc. I laughed about it and told my bro "ay bro i think i just got banned from the gc xDDDDDDDDD" and he responded "well no shit" i typed xD like 6 times cuz i was laughing like hell and he said can you stop and he only seen 4 of those xD's and the 2 got send in wrong time and he seemd me like i didnt give a shit so he got really mad at me and told me he would block me.i said "fake ass? XDDD" as a joke as we would type shit like that all the time but i typed it pretty nervously. Then...boom. 1 and a half productive time of friend ship,gone. He blocked me. There was littearly no reason in my life anymore as it seemed.i actually even started smoking and it got back to my down fall. I was on the verge of quitting everything and even..well killing myself. I had no hope and was really really fucking tired after like 1 week of that. I started playing Warm isolation as for the simbol of Nostalgia..But then when i finally cried for 2 hours straight,and was about to go onto the road of like going and ending it all,i came across this song. Guess what? This fucking master piece made me build up and just go to sleep instead of commiting the big S. Day after day,24/7 listened to it and got my shit together. Coming back to this song everyday will always make me feel a thing i cant explain and drive through my head every single memory of beind with them and makes me also remember what situation i came back from. Always remember,Life will ALWAYS get you in shitty places. But you shall never quit trying to get out if them,or else you will regret it. Goodbye fellow gamers. I hope all of you have an amazing night,and keep dreaming,stay safe and be strong as always! :)

I don't remember the guy that helped me to get good at decaying winter but this song reminds me of him when he helps me with something. I hope he's doing ok : )

*song starts playing* The 5 agents sent on the mission started preparing after finally activating the evacuation protocol,they attach their respirators and dashed after hearing that evac arrived, picking up everything they can,after finally seeing the rescue ship,they cheered in unison,some crying some hyped, thinking they can finally go home,they see the 2 people on the ship waving at them,one of them thought to themself "why did they only send two people to help us?" They then shook their head "no matter,we still got help and hope with all the supplies we brought" they finally approached the ship and went inside feeling a little relieved but they still had to wait, so 3 of them went out to defend and prepare for any threat with the 2 people sent to rescue them.The 2 inside named Excelsior the Zealot and Icarus the Arbiter talking about stuff to do for when they return,and what they'll do after that,they get interrupted by a girl named Spectral the Lazarus shouting to get prepared "Hey guys!Hostiles are approaching the ship in all sides" so they picked up their weapons and necessities and went out to help,a large amount of scavs and raiders are pouring to the evacuation site like a powerwasher, somehow striked a deal and worked together very awkwardly,guns and swords in hand,the agents now prepared. Pierrot the Riskrunner shot the first shot,nailing a scav with a pistol to the head,then everyone started firing,the scavs injuring Nova the Apostle in the process he screamed "AH fuck fuck FUCK,I got shot,I NEED Immediate MEDICAL ASSISTANCE,ohhhhh god they shot me in the hip" Spectral quickly used her ability to numb pain and passed a medkit to heal Nova "got you,now get up,we still need the Shadows if someone ever dies" "haha don't worry,we WON'T need them, we're all gonna make it after all" while the 2 talked they get suppressed,Excelsior meanwhile was already trying to rush to the front to deploy his turret,he then gets nailed right at the shoulders then falls down, "AHHH shit that was the dumbest decision I've made in my-" before finishing his sentence he then gets shot at the head killing him instantly "EXU! NO!" Yelled Pierrot, everyone then gets that horrific sound that they didn't want to hear on this operation "an agent on your team is down" Morale was going down.They keep shooting and shooting,bodies start to pile up and the 2 rescue agents also down for the count the first one through getting shot by an enemy with an AK and the other getting slashed, Pierrot brought out his Minigun, anger only going through his mind ignoring the team's advice to not peak,he threw a tear gas then started mowing down half of the enemies,he didn't care which was which team,all he wanted was to avenge his friend"THIS IS FOR HIM! EAT SHIT!" Nova quickly uses Excelsior's cold dead body for a summoning ritual, hurting and sadness on his face,as the enemies continued to fire,he too continued summoning,he did it,his friend as one of his creatures after successfully summoning,Pierrot's big gun was out of the fight,now recharging he equipped his M60 and continued firing mowing down 34 scavengers and injuring 12 of them,a laser was spotted afar, Spectral and Icarus warns Pierrot to not peak out the turret which was in a bad condition,that was the only cover they had and the man who placed it down is already a goner,Icarus after getting preoccupied with 13 close quarters scavengers ignores the remaining 5 to fire a shotshell,punching it to the sniper,Nova on the other hand suppressed the 5 enemies using a h&k ump fighting Icarus,killing 1 of them.after punching the bullet to the sniper,Icarus got bashed in the head by a sledgehammer,he was dying but still alive thanks to the stims and meds he pumped beforehand,Spectral buffs nova and pierrot since Icarus was too far,Nova marked an enemy a sign for Shadows to kill the scavengers targeting Icarus, unsurprisingly killing all 4 and then proceed to focus on the ranged scavs,Pierrot kept firing and killing,the turret broke down,and Spectral numbing Nova's pain,Pierrot gets done in by a group focusing on him with his last moments he thought "I wonder if the others are okay, they'll probably manage somehow..." "PIERROT!!!" Icarus screams, Spectral frantically tells Nova to summon another Shadow,Stress levels are high but Spectral's was higher,she picked up Icarus,patched him up to barely able to swing a weapon,she dual wielded a peacemaker and an ajm9 started firing at the scavs and raiders"FUCK ALL OF YOU",she didn't mind who was who,right now all she cared about was buying time for Nova and Icarus.10 minutes till evac process was done. Nova finally summoned another one,the 1st Shadow gets bashed and shot at by 16 different scavs,dying after taking out 4,and the other taking control of the situation,Nova gets surprise attacked by a melee raider with a shield and an axe,his arm gets hit and is now bleeding,Spectral was all out of meds and decided to grab supplies on the crates,but gets shot on the back by another enemy with an Ak,her dying words "I'm-...sor" she muttered.Her final thoughts "if there's ever a next life,I wish to see you again in it"as she falls down, she smiled painfully and closed her eyes for one last time,Icarus upon seeing what has happened,was now enraged,he shotshelled the raider who killed Spectral,he was barely standing,the 2nd Shadow killed 8 more reducing the number of scavs to 10, now preoccupied with 6 melee and 4 range enemies,Nova crawls back to the ship to grab pierrot's other gun,he couldn't see well because of all the bleeding,Icarus rushed over to nova trying to help the bleeding man,"Icarus, don't, it's no use, I'm already a goner.....I- don't have alot of words to say right now but it....was fun...we were sent on a suicide mission.....and-and we persisted all through th-that......but pro-promi-promise me one thing before I go -cough cough- promise me... that you'll live through this cold hell...I won't ask much but give us nice graves hah-..." Nova finally lets go of Icarus's sleeve. With that Nova gets done in from the bleeding, And the thing Icarus feared the most happened again, losing everyone he cared for. While he was holding Nova's lifeless body,the 2nd Shadow got shot and stabbed to death but not before killing all 4 ranged raiders "I was right,this was no normal mission...they dropped us here with NOTHING! we-....we were sent here to die,a suicide mission,pointless deaths and I remain.... yet there are still many motherfuckers infront of me........all my friends are DEAD! AND I,I won't END IT LIKE THIS,EVEN IF I DIE I WILL TAKE YOU ALL DOWN WITH ME TO THE BOTTOM PITS OF HELL! I WILL! I MUST! AND I HAVE TO! COME AND GET ME YOU BASTARDS! EITHER I OR ALL OF YOU WILL FALL" Icarus screams. "EAT SHIT!" *Sounds of gun fire* As the lone agent started firing two scavengers were shot in the middle of the head,seconds after,four rushed to the agent not caring about a thing,as they too,have been abandoned after everything fell apart.The agent proceeded to shotshell and again,started firing at the enemies,he didn't care if he got hurt,all he wanted to do was kill the bastards that killed his comrades,his friends. *Gun clicks* Icarus all alone,struggling to move finally took out the 5th scav but not enough to take out the 6th,the scav proceeded to stab him with a knife to the chest,that was the finishing blow or so the scav thought,Icarus used the last of his strength to shotshell the poor bastard in the cranium,he took the knife out his chest and fell down,multiple wounds, multiple thoughts going through his head,multiple emotions felt and he couldn't do anything about it,"is this gonna be the end?" He thought, unfortunately for him that seems to be the case.With the freezing cold and his rapidly declining body,he finally succumbed to death's sweet release after uttering faintly "I'm s-so-sorry.......everyone...I-I......" as the last of of his breath went out so too his consciousness. Only the winter and the decaying bodies remain.

Wave 10 The sounds of the herd is coming as the Lazarus and Zaelot prepare to fight, They both used the remaining supplies. The horde is coming as the lazarus used his perk to buff the zaelot whilst the zaelot prepares to drop his shield, The sound of the footstep is coming as all of the scav headed for both of them instantly damaging them before they can react. Sorrounded by the AK's scav the lazarus buff is the only thing that became the barier of death and life the true Fallen Uriel. "HEY I THINK ITS RUNNING OUT." The Zaelot said while covered in scav, The lazarus tried to buff him but they are surrounded by the scav. Before the buff ran out the Zaelot baited 3/4 of the enemy and ran to the other side of the map, before he hold his shield he throwed all the granades and dynamite near him, Exploding the scav and him the true Helios Guardian.

I cried cause this game got closed forever, it's was the most of my fav game. I spend alot of time playing with others in this kind of fighting games. With alot of memories.. but sadly, it will never come back normal. I just keep listening to this song cause it satisfies and calm my heart. we will always remember about you DW, rest well.

The Apostle and the Riskrunner sat down, getting prepared for their final death, a last breath of Eden-227 before they both get let to rest, gone forever. They wouldn't stop staring at eachother, since they've been best friends since the start, and they don't want to see the closest one to them go. They lookeed up and embraced the chill of the cold decaying winter. The Apostle, filled with dread and paranoia carefuly wielded his Hi-capa, yet also looking at his shadow hunters, making sure the wro were okay. Even the shadow hunters were sad, too. It only made the Riskrunner more dejected waching the three, who were once so confident fall down, to never be remembered again. The Riskrunner sat down in anticipation, waiting patiently for her death. She searched through her pockets, finding her packet of cigarettes and lighting a ciggie up, looking at the snow fall gracefully from the sky, snowflakes dancing in the air around the four. The fire infront of them burned brightly, despite soon being gone forever.. The Apostle was smothered by his shadow hunters, who now sounded somewhat like a SIckler. He carefully put his arms around the two, trying his hardest not to burst out into tears. He didn't see his shadow hunters as mindless mission assets, but as friends. This is what hurt the most. The RIskrunner looked back at her friend, a crestfalled and scared wreck. He was never like this. He was the most confident, but slowly lost that confidence as things got worse. She decided to try to sart a conversation. "So, guess that's it, huh?" She said calmly, despite the occurences and situation. "But i don't want to go yet, it's too early!" He said, becoming more neurotic nd fearful. She couldn't stop looking at him in such a demoralised manner. "I know i'll hurt, but soon we'll be in a safer place, finally put to rest. These blizzards are just too brutal to be in for a prolonged amount of time." She continued, taking the cigarette out of her mouth and throwing it on the floor. She put on her gas mask, which may or may not be one she stole from a skinner. The Apostle hung his head low into his hands, sniffling a bit now. "Hm?" The Riskrunner said, confused by his antics. "It'll be okay, right?" The Apostle tried to say through his tears. These words cut deep into her, causing the pain to be even more. Now her best friend, who used to be so confident and reassuring is now asking her if it'll all be okay. "Yes, I'm sure it'll be okay. It won't hurt, infact, all of the pain will go away soon. We could possibly return, too." She said in the most reassuring manner she could muster up. "I know, but it just hurts.. i don't want to die, exactly. I know I'll meet Aoide.. okay maybe not her.. I know i'll meet that Sovereign we both adored, yet I don't want to go!" He yelled, with his voice being as unclear as a car in a trafffic jam. The Riskrunner sighed and said only one last thing before going completely silent. "Memento Mori." -ApostleArderley/ObscuredEyes.

We can all say that decaying winter was such a long game, with screams of laughter and, laughing at stuff, dead bodys being shoved into lockers, people dying in the game, morale tankers, and best for all being jump scared by hidden, hanger, and skinner, and last but not least, the funniest, sickler.

As the scavs looked down at 4 of the fallen agents, and the final one bleeding out on the ground, they told the Sledge Queen to come closer, and asked her to hand him the guitar she held, and he played this song. The scavs and the Sledge Queen listened and as the notes slowly faded weaker, they looked down not in triumph, but in respect. The agents had put up a good fight, and as Yosef saw him bleed out as the notes stopped, a tear dripped out of his eye, and as the Sledge Queen looked into his eyes she said, "Don't Cry Because Its over, Smile Because it happened."

"She played her heart-warming tune with her guitar, as the Agents raise there weapon's as for the reason that this the last time they would hear her....." -Archxemius

Why does this make me sad?

"Hello Lads! It was nice knowing you, you were great teammates but even better friends rest in peace soldier you made it."

As the night ended, a solo vagabond walked up to the building with a guitar in his hand. “one last song please?” the girl nodded with a smile. the lone swordsman, whom had a broken arm and was slowly bleeding to death from artery, laid his sword on the side and sat down. “you’ve done well, i’m sure your comrades will smile upon how much you’ve accomplished on your own.” said the girl, for a single minute, peace was brought upon Eden-227. scavs stopped as their queen followed by yosef gathered at the helipad down below, not to celebrate their victory but to show respect to a hard fought warrior. and as the lone swordsman’s vision slowly faded to black, he ended with a smile. it was over, yet another squad has perished within the cold lands of Eden-227, the reikigon slowly faded into the cold as there was no more fear to feast off, with that another squads noble yet sad story came to an end. (haven’t seen a story about a vagabond yet so i decided to make one, sorry if there were any grammar mistakes i’m not fluent in english)

I don’t know much of Decaying Winter but I’ll try making a story with the information I’ve gathered from the comments. “So did the plane arrive yet?” Lazarus says. “No it’ll take a a while, I’m not sure how long.” You say quietly. “Well the others have died. We don’t have much time left until the plane comes, I’m sure of it.” Lazarus says. “Wait… what’s that noise? It’s the plane!” You yell. You and Lazarus don’t realize you’ve attracted an army of scavs. You head to the plane and look behind you and Lazarus and you see them. “Hey Lazarus we better hurry our ***** up or we’re dead meat!” You say. “No. I don’t need to run. Not anymore.” Lazarus whispers. “What do you mean? come on we’re close to the plane!” You yell. “Leave me behind. At least I’ll be able to see the squad down in hell.” Lazarus says. “Stop with your god damn ******** and get in!” You say. “Look kid, your life is more important then mine you’ll be able to see your family.” Lazarus says. “Lazarus no!-“ *Lazarus gets stabbed to death.* Agency: Warning agent on your team is downed. “… You god damn bastard.” You say as you salute for your fallen comrades. The End. (Edit 1) If this gets to 5 likes I’ll continue it. (Edit 2) my second story got deleted for some reason.

There never was a good ending for us, only the delayed inevitably that we die. The inevitable ending has finally reached us. Good bye AGENTS, you didnt live to die another day.

A toast to the best of allies and the worst of enemies… I could not have asked for anything better. Lest we forget this Decaying Winter. O7
