How it feels

Managing a settlement of drunken dwarves while automating production and surviving threats feels like a playful, darkly comedic strategy sandbox.

What players say

Players praise the unique network-diagram city concept and find the game addictive, but many note it feels like a proof of concept with placeholders and bugs. The developer responds quickly to bugs and updates often.
