How it feels

A tense and strategic city-builder where you race against apocalyptic storms to manage a network of settlements under constant pressure.

What players say

Players say it captures the exciting early phase of a city builder and repeats it in short roguelike runs, but this also means RNG can decide your success and the constant pressure from meters makes it stressful rather than relaxing. Some find the micromanagement exhausting, and a common complaint is the lack of any font size option for the text-heavy interface.
