10 itemsAbout the Game
Flee a land devastated by a sinister plague and guide a small group of survivors searching for a new beginning. Build a settlement from the ground up, organize production chains, and watch your villagers live out their daily routines as your community grows amid constant danger.
Manage resource gathering, material processing, and the crafting of tools and weapons through interconnected logistical systems — from cutting timber to smelting ore and forging equipment for your soldiers. Protect your people from yearly waves of monstrous attackers by strengthening your defenses, training troops, and planning tactical strategies.
Your settlement is the last spark of hope in a world slowly falling apart. Balance survival, progress, and resilience as you prepare your people for the next dawn… and the next attack.
Developer’s Note
This game is a solo project, and I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. As a lifelong fan of city builders, my goal is simply to create the game I’ve always wanted to play.
Key Features
Settlement growth — Build homes, workshops, farms, smithies, and essential structures to support your community.
Deep production chains — Every item requires multiple steps: mining, smelting, carpentry, forging, and transport.
Villagers with real routines — They live, work, move around, and perform tasks that bring your city to life.
Enemy hordes — Face large-scale creature attacks and reinforce your settlement’s defenses.
Tactical troop control — Command groups of soldiers with attention to formation, positioning, and planning.
