10 itemsAbout the Game
Resilient is a post-apocalyptic colony building and management game set in the dark 17th century. You must keep your people alive amid resource scarcity, ideological struggles, social tension, and the constant threat of the undead.
Organic City Building
Design your colony freely. Roads, fields, and layouts are entirely up to you. Every settlement grows into a unique character shaped by your choices.
Unique Colonists
Each colonist has distinct traits, relationships, and ideological leanings. Their values affect their reactions to events; fair laws may boost productivity, while oppression can spark rebellion.
Day-Night Cycle
Days are for production, research, and expansion; nights bring the fight for survival against evolving zombie hordes. Over time, the undead may become fast runners or thick-skinned threats.
Ideology and Law System
Choose from multiple ideologies to shape your colony’s future. Each one unlocks unique laws, production methods, and social effects. Colonists respond to your rule. Some see you as a leader, others as a tyrant.
Diplomacy and Exploration
Send scouting parties to reconnect with the outside world. Explore ruined towns, gather resources, and establish diplomatic ties. Relations with other colonies influence trade, cooperation, and ideology.
Social Tension and Rebellion
Hard choices can shake your colony’s stability. When morale collapses, production halts, famine spreads, and rebellion ignites.
Resilient delivers a colony simulation of deep production chains, social conflicts, belief systems, and a survival loop where every decision comes at a cost.
