About the Game



Rebuild Your Home


Elevate housing, utility, social, production, and defense buildings. Beware – a big city requires a lot of resources, and if you can’t provide them, your colony will lose Stability, which will lead to rapid collapse.

Corrupted by Choices


Use the cards you’ve been dealt wisely. Each turn represents a season you’ve survived, and while you have Stability, there’s still hope. If it reaches zero, it’s over for you.

Explore the Wasteland


Send out expeditions in search of vital resources, technologies and various items. But remember: the sweeter the reward – the higher the risk.

Take On the Harsh World’s Challenges


The decisions you make will directly impact your city. All the narrative events are interconnected, creating a different story for each of your colonies. You can choose when to deal with them, but the longer you wait, the more complex and dire the situation may become.

Secure Your Legacy


Register your legacy in the Book of Ashes of your people’s history. Every time you write down your story, you may choose a cultural or historical characteristic that will influence your next colonies, giving you new talents or bonuses.
