In a deeply simulated world, every action has a reaction. Take care of your villagers, resources, production lines and the interaction with the complex environment. How much will you intervene in the course of nature? You decide.

Build Your Economy

Manage the acquisition, refinement and distribution of resources. The goods must be transported to the desired location by someone actually having the time and space to do it.

Care About Your Villagers

Manage the needs of the citizens. They are “alive” and have a specific home, workplace and broad range of needs. But animals also look for food, get thirsty, sleepy, form groups, look for social interactions, and try to find their place in nature. Even plants need water, the right temperature and try to survive.

Find Balance (Or Not)

Humans share the same space and resources with nature and influence each other. While in the beginning the influence of the humans is insignificant due to the small size, it gets more and more important when the city - and its needs - grow. Risk of extinction and risk of overpopulation may form depending on the actions of the player.

Observe The Vibrant World

The Seasons and weather affect the gameplay. Certain plants only grow in certain seasons and the temperature and weather affects the Humans, Animals, Plants, and the Environment.

Take Your Time

You set the pace. Pause the game, speed it up or slow it down whenever you want. Nature is robust, and your villagers unlock more complex needs with your progression.

Build Your Own Scenarios

Create own maps and scenarios in the editor. The whole landscape can be changed and the objects on it. Add new maps or link existing ones together to a new world. You can connect water flows and create paths for travellers.
