Island Dwellers is a turn-based strategy game where you guide a tribe through the challenges of rising sea levels. Assign tasks to your people, unlock technologies and build a thriving village. Adapt to new challenges as your tribe sails to different climates in search of a better future.
As time passes, your island will gradually erode into the sea. Balance the current needs of your people with the necessity to escape the sinking island. Develop a strategy to ensure your tribe's survival amidst the rising tides and diminishing land.
Assign tasks to your people, manage limited resources carefully, and build a thriving settlement. Educate the children of the tribe to ensure a strong community for future generations.
Impress or overthrow the gods by constructing a mighty temple, recovering all the lost relics, or unlocking hidden knowledge. No matter which path you choose, the destiny of your tribe is in your hands.
As your tribe leaves their ancestral home, it will have to adapt to new environments. Each unique climate offers its own challenges and opportunities. Learn from and adapt to the new conditions on each island to lead your tribe to victory.
