FEATURES
- Recruit villagers to generate income which is used to expand and upgrade your town.
- Convert vagabonds from camps beyond the town border. They'll join your cause and become villagers to help with daily tasks.
- Choose wisely which facilities to build: Inn, Hospital, Barracks, Archery, Bank, Farms - each with its own perks. But beware, there is limited space available in the forest. The route you take might increase your numbers but leave your soldiers weak.
- You control a single character to exercise your wisdom. NPCs take on the roles you give them and fulfil certain duties during daytime, while soldiers protect the town border during the night.
- Enemies attack your town at night. If you cannot defend it, they'll head for your Town Center and try to destroy it. If they succeed, the game is over.
- Three different biomes/environments confer different benefits to your town.
- Beautiful 2D high-definition scenery and day-night cycles.
