You are the Elder, guiding a small group of villagers called Pips to establish a settlement in an empty valley after visions warn of an approaching apocalypse.
Each turn, assign villagers to tasks such as farming, building, crafting, researching, and caring for the settlement. Manage food and other resources while developing production chains and training specialists.
The Domains bring increasingly demanding events, including disasters and illness, which you must prepare for as the village develops. Runs vary in their maps and available discoveries; play also unlocks new content and Elders, and offers different difficulty levels.
Reviewers often enjoy the game’s strategic resource-management puzzle: planning worker assignments and production chains while preparing for threats. Many also praise the challenge, the variety between runs and Elders, and the charming presentation. Some reviewers find the systems difficult to learn or the random events overly punishing.
