July 2024

This game is oldschool fun. A slightly addictive colony sim/city builder, with all well-known ingredients. Tech-tree, managing resources, managing workers, expanding your village etc. What I find refreshing is that you teach yourself the mechanics as you progress, no hand-holding and no annoying popups over-explaining everything. I had a lot of fun figuring out the small details and seeing how everything fits together. The player is considered a grown adult who is intelligent enough to understand how to play a relatively simple game as this one. Extra bonuspoints: a friendly and dedicated developer, efficient and pleasant graphics and fully playable on the Steam Deck. Recommended.

A simple and fun colony sim. The problem it is it may be too simple for genre veterans and the lack of tutorial / help / manual / any guidance means that it is not recommended for genre first-timers. If you love colony sims and you're looking for a fun but simple experience that will last about 10 hours this is a good game, especially on sale. I fit this description and I am very happy with my time spent playing. If you're new to the genre or a veteran that wants something interesting / different / complex, then this is not for you.

I cannot wait to see the improvements. I love that this Dev is active and working on updates. It took me about 5 new games to finally get the hang of things. I have tried playing other Colony sims but I always come back to this one. Simple yet satisfying to play. I love the Auto-Save too. I would have lost my first big-colony without it.

June 2024

A pretty chill little 'city-builder'. Very basic but also easy to get into. Yet not easy to master, as you do need to balance logistics right! Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld players will be quite familiar.

April 2024

Despite the fact that this game is out of early access, it is not finished. It is not dead either, it is actively worked on. Though the latest patch at the time of writing broke the chain of production. It's around 10h to complete. Not much replay value. It is cute and nice and inexpensive. I got it when in sale. I'll keep a lookout for future development. Edit (3 days later): The dev has fixed the soft lock accidentally introduced in the previous patch.
