In Exile, you lead a band of displaced settlers, cast out into an unforgiving land where only resourcefulness and resilience will secure a future. It's your decisions—the paths you clear, the shelters you raise, the hope you kindle—that will determine whether this small village endures or fades into the wild.

Through each season, you’ll be the one deciding how your village survives, adapts, and eventually thrives. Will you lead them to prosperity—or watch as the seasons take their toll?

Your choices carry weight. Neglect a firewood supply, and your people might freeze. Let the food run low, and they’ll grow weak and desperate. Disease can spread quickly if you overlook medicine or sanitation. But care well, and you can build schools, libraries, farms, even workshops to craft tools and books that pass knowledge through generations. Every decision steers your village down a different path—one of hardship, innovation, or quiet resilience.

These are your people, not just for a season but for generations to come. As they grow, learn, and pass on their knowledge, your village becomes more than a place. It becomes a lineage. Shaped by the land and strengthened by your choices, their story unfolds in countless ways as their legacy deepens with every passing year.

Key Features:

Playable Topography: From flat plains to rugged mountainsides, navigate the challenges of various landscapes. Every rise, fall, and curve of the land will shape your village's layout and growth.
Villager Lives & Needs: Your villagers are more than just workers—they are individuals with health, happiness, and personal needs. Keep them fed, healthy, and motivated to maintain a productive workforce.
Seasons and Weather: Scorching summers and harsh winters, your villagers will need to adapt to the changing environment.
Beautiful Day & Night Cycle: From golden sunrises to quiet twilight, each day marks the shifting seasons. Trees blush with autumn reds, snow creeps in overnight, and spring mornings bring new green to the fields—nothing stays still for long.
Resource Management and Crafting: Gather raw materials from the land around you, craft tools and structures, and use every resource wisely.
Exploration and Discovery: The world beyond your village holds many secrets and opportunities. Explore untamed wilderness, trade with others, and expand your village to great new heights.
Adaptive Challenges: Unpredictable winters, a sickness sweeping through your village, the threat of raging fire, or any number of other trials—adapt swiftly to ensure the survival and success of your people.
Rich, Evolving World: Your village is part of a living world. As you build and grow, the world reacts and evolves based on your actions.
Living, Breathing Wilderness: Every creature you see—be it a rabbit darting through the brush or a bird soaring overhead—is part of the world, not just scenery. Hunt, coexist, or ignore them—but know this: anything that moves can disappear if you're not careful.
Robust Save and Load System: Jump back into your village in seconds with near-instant load times and smooth auto-saving. Whether you're planning every move or playing on the go, your progress is always preserved and ready when you are.

Can You Thrive in a Changing World?

Every day will present new challenges. With a deep focus on strategic planning, resource management, and personal care for your villagers, your leadership will determine the fate of the village. Will you be able to create a thriving community, or will your people be left to face the harsh elements alone?

Whether you're expanding into a vast frontier or simply ensuring your people stay healthy and content, Exile offers a rich, engaging experience that will test your ability to survive and lead in a constantly changing world.
