About the Game



New Cycle is a city building game with focus on survival. After an apocalyptic series of solar flares, human society has been thrown into disarray. Establish a settlement and develop it all the way from humble beginnings to industrial metropolis.


Build and expand your settlement using free form or grid-based design. Seek, gather and produce new resources to advance your civilization. As you develop it further, you will re-discover the more advanced and complex ways of the past to produce goods on a large scale.


This hostile world will challenge you with sand storms, shortages, wildfires and other natural disasters. Be prepared and always ready to act quickly. But nature isn’t the only thing to worry about: Refugee crises, unrest, disease outbreaks – the list of challenges is long. You will have to make crucial decisions, many of them painful, to avert the downfall of your civilization.


Take care of your people’s basic needs. Distribute food, water, tools and clothes and regulate their daily work schedule. Enrich their life with entertainment, prevent diseases and improve your people’s health by providing medical facilities. With every new member of your community you get closer to re-discovering the forgotten technologies of the old world.


As your settlement develops into an industrial city, running on fuel and burning coal, a whole new level of productivity opens up to you. Mass-production, automation, factories feeding factories via complex systems of conveyor belts. Modernize your workforce by training your people in these specialized tasks.


Each era has the potential to improve your production as well as the lives of your people, giving you access to numerous new buildings. As your settlement develops into an industrial city, running on fuel and burning coal, a whole new level of productivity opens up to you.


Explore your surroundings to find places of interest and untapped resources. Build outposts to make them accessible to your people and establish a train network to transport them.


The year is 2073. After an apocalyptic series of devastating solar flares, human society has been thrown into disarray. With the technological advancements of the past almost completely lost, the remnants of humanity now struggle to survive. But, even in this desperate world, one thing remains true: As one era ends, another era begins. It is time for a new cycle.

Establish a settlement and develop it all the way from humble beginnings to industrial metropolis. Ensure the survival of your people against all odds. Remember: There is always hope. And our greatest achievement is yet to come…

New Cycle – There must be a future beyond survival.
