How it feels

A strategic colony sim where you frantically build and manage resources during daylight to survive escalating monster waves at night.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and the deeper complexity compared to the Kingdom series, but many say development stopped in 2023, leaving the game feeling abandoned. Those who play through find it slow-paced, with a steep learning curve and resources like stone hard to gather, while the final boss fight offers little reward.
