10 itemsAbout the Game
Build a thriving settlement. Watch your people grow. Every miracle costs lives.
Eurekas is a real-time colony builder inspired by Populous and The Settlers. Your settlers build, gather resources, and pray to generate mana for defense. You wield divine powers that don't cost mana—they cost lives.
Reshape terrain, summon resources, smite enemies—watch your population disappear with every spell. Meanwhile, corruption grows with your settlement and divine actions, spreading tile-for-tile.
Every choice matters: expand and watch darkness spread in response. Sacrifice settlers for immediate solutions, or preserve your workforce and struggle through threats. Explore procedurally generated islands seeking mystical foci—ancient sources of power that unlock devastating new spells.
Face intelligent monsters that corrupt strategically, growing stronger as your empire expands.
Every miracle has a price. How many will you sacrifice?
