A strategic rogue like simulation in the fantasy genre.
Lead your villagers 'Stimmings' against the relentless forces of entropy in this cellular automata simulation where the parameters of the sim are altered every run.
The only resource you have are your Stimmings, and each Stimming takes up a cell in the simulation.
Due to unfortunate medical circumstances, the Stimmers are required to be stimming themselves at all times and they cannot stop moving.
Build up your Stimmings and defend them against the enemies and work towards the portal locations to progress.
Defeat powerful opponents and obtain relics that will be vital for survivial in the later levels.
If you find a portal squeeze in as many Stimmings as you can to ensure the best possible start in the sub level.
You the player usually end up balancing your home economy with refreshing farms, navigating environmental hazards, and the offensive required to overtake an enemy structure.
If you find the modern world unstimulating and consider yourself completely desensitized to any information coming from a screen and speakers, this game is for you. Designed to swallow hours of your day and being left with no real recollection of what happened or where you are at the end of rounds.
