How it feels
You carefully manage a small village on the back of a giant wandering creature, balancing survival needs with the peaceful rhythm of building and expanding in a post-apocalyptic world.

What players say
Players praise the relaxing city-building on a giant creature's back, often comparing it to Studio Ghibli's Nausicaa. Many note the punishing endgame requires constant micromanagement, and some complain about too many resource types and the inability to rotate the camera.
