Themes from a helpfulness-selected sample of Steam reviews, not the aggregate Steam score.
You are a Colonial Bureaucrat tasked with establishing a frontier settlement for the Clockwork Empire. The colony includes overseers, soldiers, and labourers, each living and working in the community you build.
Design building layouts from the ground up and place machines, furniture, and decorations. Set up farms, mines, workshops, and other facilities to gather resources and produce supplies such as food and beer.
Colonists have individual personalities, memories, motivations, and desires that respond to how they live. Manage the population while dealing with threats including cults, monsters, and the risk of cannibalism, as well as surprise inspections by an Occult Investigator.
The supplied review describes the game as fun to play after applying a patch, while also recalling a buggy state and mentioning continued concerns. This reflects one review, not a general consensus.
